Positano

Walk into Positano and you're stepping into the kind of Italian restaurant that doesn't need to shout about itself. Tucked away on Tunsgate, it's become a proper fixture in Guildford's dining scene, and for good reason. The menu reads like someone who actually knows Italian food is running the kitchen—you'll find handmade pasta that tastes like it means something, seafood that's treated with respect, and wines that go beyond the obvious choices. It's the sort of place where locals book a table for anniversaries and casual Fridays feel just as welcome.
