A new star of Barbados’ dining scene has opened on the island’s west coast: Positano. Developed by Elegant Hotels, part of All-Inclusive by Marriott Bonvoy, the coastal Italian restaurant offers an exciting complimentary dining option for guests of The House and Tamarind, and is also open to non-hotel guests.

Helmed by chef Marcello Piacentini, Positano is an interpretation of its Amalfi Coast namesake serving authentic coastal Italian cuisine in a casual dining atmosphere. Dishes include freshly-caught frutti di mare from the surrounding Caribbean waters, handmade pastas with classic Italian sauces, and – from early next year – handcrafted pizzas from the signature Pizza Bar equipped with its own pizza oven. Sweet treats include the quintessential tiramisuaffogato and zeppole (Italian-style beignets).

With a wide selection of spirits and rums, and a chic terrace overlooking the azure Caribbean sea, Positano is the perfect spot for a sunset aperitivo. Diners can channel the vibe of an Italian piazza with an iconic Aperol Spritz or Lemontini, or embrace the island ambiance with a more tropical tipple – such as Barbados After The Dark – infused with local rum.

Located just steps from Elegant Hotels properties The House and Tamarind, the new outlet is a sumptuous addition to the all-inclusive offering at both properties*.

Elegant Hotels guests staying elsewhere can also take advantage of a complimentary water taxi to the restaurant.

 Positano is open for dinner from Tuesday to Sunday from 6:30pm – 9:30pm, with Happy Hour from 5:00pm – 6:00pm. Reservations can be booked via opentable.com or by calling +1 246 432 2731.

 *Tamarind guests dine with the provision of a voucher.
