Side Note: Best Dinner in Positano


We have been getting dressed up for dinner – puttin’ on our fancy dresses (yes, I said dresses) and puttin’ on airs.  This place is fancy in general.  But last night after all that cold rain, we just felt like feeling comfortable.  So we dressed in our jeans/capris, put on sweaters (and my new sandals from Capri) and headed down to the beach area for our last big supper in Positano.

My favorite restaurant is the lower section of a place called Baca di Bucco.  It’s my fav not necessarily because of the food, but because it happens to have the perfect view of the town from the beach.  They do pretty decent food, though and last night was proof of that.

We started with a common favorite – bruschetta con pomodorini (tiny tomatoes), which was followed by linguini with lobster.

NOTE:  If you plan on ordering any seafood that requires hands-on work that is drenched in marinara sauce and butter, do not wear white.  And wear a bib. Actually, we had an awesome idea for a scarf/bib kind of a thing that looks fancy but still catches spills before it hits your clothes.  I don’t want to say too much until we get the patent.

After the lobster dish, we had our first try of swordfish.  Also drenched in butter and lemon juice, the swordfish was grilled and soooo yummy.

But wait, there’s more.  After dinner we ordered this … this … creamy piece of heaven made of pistachios and Bavarian cream.  It looked like a cheesecake, but was green with toasted pistachios on top.  It was salty and sweet and had about five different textures from light and fluffy to chewy to crunchy.  Unbelievable.  This was accompanied by a sweet desert wine made from honey.

On the way back to our room, we bought these little chocolate shot glasses for our limoncello.   YUM!  

Could you think of a better evening?
