In an effort to recap our trip to Positano, we'll be posting less of a day-by-day account and more of little snippets from the trip. Andiamo!
One of our favorite ways to spend an evening in Positano, after a long leisurely day at the beach, was to hit our local market for provisions and have a nice quiet dinner on our balcony.
There were brilliantly red tomatoes:

The marinated olives had fennel seed in the marinade, which was new to us and proved to be wildly delicious.
There were also fantastic meats and breads, and one night, we treated ourselves to a local dessert, sweet and tart lemon cake:

Looks like a great time! We'll have to make a pit-stop at Positano now that's it's in our backyard!
you guys will absolutely love it! we've also heard that ravello is really cool...not on the coast, but supposedly fantastic views. :) can't wait to hear all about your adventures in naples!
you're right, clare: the food is very reminiscent of the fare at the italian deli on modaff in naperville...much fresher in positano and probably tastes even better with the views--mangi!
