Positano Italian Kitchen and Wine Bar
Italian kitchen and wine bar on River Road, drawing on southern Italian cooking and named after the town on the Amalfi coast.
The list runs to Italian bottles and the bar also mixes cocktails, which makes it one of the few restaurants in St. George built as much around the bar as around the dining room — a comparatively recent development in a market where full bars were long uncommon.
Background
Positano is a cliffside town on the Amalfi coast south of Naples, and naming a restaurant after it signals southern Italian cooking — seafood, tomatoes, olive oil and lemon rather than the butter and cream of the north. A restaurant built as much around its bar as its dining room is a comparatively recent development in St. George: Utah's liquor licensing has historically made full bars scarce outside the larger markets, and the local restaurant scene reflected that for a long time.
