La Zagara

Positano


Dating back to 1950, this is the quintessential Italian terrace, draped with foliage and flowers. Flanking the terrace is La Zagara's superb pasticceria (pastry shop; cakes from €3), serving both sweet and savoury bites, and especially famed for its tiramisù al limone.

Order something indulgent, kick back and indulge in a little Positano people-watching. DJs spin tunes on Friday and Saturday nights.
