A lively contemporary Italian spot on Positano’s main drag with excellent pastas, seafood and pizza, standout staff energy, fair-to-good value for the area, but occasional service delays and added fees.
Ohimà delivers excellent food quality anchored by standout pastas and seafood, paired with warm, engaging service that elevates the dining experience. However, inconsistent execution—particularly small portions and variable pizza quality— prevents grade A territory, while peak-time delays and cover charges create friction that tempers the overall value proposition for a Positano destination restaurant.
Set on Positano’s main road, Ohimà buzzes with warm, lively service and terrace energy. Reviewers describe staff who turn meals into a bit of theater, with one noting the server "kept us laughing while guiding wine picks." Decor skews modern and casual-chic, though traffic hum can seep inside during busy hours. Prices track the neighborhood, and there is a cover charge to expect. The cooking leans contemporary Italian: handmade pastas, fresh seafood, and well-executed pizzas with occasional chef twists like a modern tiramisù or lemon-kissed clams. Many travelers call it a trip highlight, especially the optional tasting menu with pairings. A minority report small pasta portions or slower pacing at peak times, so timing matters if you dislike waiting. Families are welcome. There is a dedicated kids menu (butter pasta, gnocchi, cutlet, baby burger) plus pizzas like Margherita and 4 formaggi that children typically embrace. Portions for adult pastas can be modest, so families with big appetites may add a pizza or sides to round out the meal.
