What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Posillipo is praised for its authentic Italian cuisine, particularly its stone-baked pizzas and fresh seafood. The cozy atmosphere and friendly, professional service contribute to a highly enjoyable dining experience. While most reviews are glowing, a minor point was raised about ordering food before drinks, and one reviewer found a pasta dish lacking flavor.
"The food, drink, service, and setting were all fantastic! We love visiting Italy, so when we wanted to have an authentic dining experience, with a friendly, homely atmosphere, but with things done properly, based on reviews, we chose Posillipo! It didn’t disappoint! We really enjoyed ourselves, our food, and our company (staff included!), and came away feeling content and relaxed. Thank you for a lovely evening! We’ll be back next time we’re in Canterbury!"

"Went as a table of 6 with a child. Staff were incredibly welcoming and food was brilliant, reliable Italian. The wine was some of the best I’ve ever had and they had a large vegan menu which was incredibly accommodating. We did ask to order our food with our drinks but were asked to wait which is the only reason it has been marked down to 4 stars. Sometimes you’re on a time limit, especially with a three year old! Otherwise it was a perfect meal!"

"The food was full of flavour and you can tell it's made fresh, we had the pizza with Tiramisu for dessert.
The staff were very welcoming and accommodating."
