There’s an old saying that cooking begins in the market and this has never been more true than with the Italian cuisine which relies heavily on fresh produce.
Tomatoes, garlic, onions, capsicum and eggplant along with seafood and poultry are some of the most common ingredients in the Italian kitchen, which is why, Positano, on James Street in Northbridge, chooses their ingredients with acute care, hand picked daily from the markets.
“The best Italian food is combined in simple ways to preserve the identity of the ingredients” says Anthony Brekalo, owner and operator of the much loved Italian restaurant. “Simplicity is key – and a freshly squeezed bottle of olive oil goes a long way”. No one knows fresh produce like Anthony who is also the owner of Adriatic Seafood which supplies fresh seafood to other restaurants and hotels in the Perth vicinity.
It’s no wonder that Positano is a crowd pleaser, and with the chef straight out of Italy’s dining scene with over 30 years experience cooking up the freshest pasta and pizza, Positano may just be king of Northbridge.
On the menu there’s a wide range of seafood cooked in a variety of ways, baby veal medallions pan friend with capers, olives, garlic, chili with the Positano homemade Napolitana sauce, and succulent lamb on the spit along with traditional dishes like homemade gnocchi and lasagna. “We’re rooted in tradition with classic Italian recipes and flavours and ingredients, that’s what’s kept us going and will continue to keep us going” says Anthony.
When established, Positano was a place for friendly and relaxed dining with exceptional service, quality and value for money. “This has always been our intention and still is” continues Anthony. And the Perth locals love it and give their thumbs up:
“This was the second time we went to lunch here and it was fantastic . Really enjoyed the food and the service was excellent. Will certainly be going back – keep up the great food and service. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Perth”.
“WOW… the tiramisu is so, so, so good. I will come here more often”.
“Service was excellent, food was delicious. Highly recommend”.
