Posillipo - Canterbury

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Posillipo in Canterbury and it was a delightful experience. The restaurant offers authentic Italian cuisine, accompanied by warm and friendly service. Located in the scenic eastern region of England, it's a true gem for those seeking a taste of Italy. From the moment I walked in, the Italian waitstaff welcomed me with their characteristic warmth, making the dining experience feel truly authentic. The menu showcases Italian culinary excellence, with a wide variety of dishes to suit all preferences, including vegetarian options. The starters were a perfect introduction to the meal, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The seafood risotto and linguine were the highlights for me. Both dishes were cooked to perfection, with the seafood risotto offering a creamy texture and rich flavors, while the linguine had the perfect al dente consistency. If you're a seafood lover, you must try the options available here. The calzone and seafood pasta also came highly recommended and didn't disappoint. One impressive aspect of Posillipo is their superb wine selection. The staff provided excellent food and wine pairings, enhancing the flavors of the dishes. The prices for both the food and wine are reasonable, adding great value to the overall dining experience. The ambiance of the restaurant is cozy and inviting, making it an ideal spot for both casual and special occasions. While the sides were satisfactory, they didn't quite match the high standard of the main dishes. Overall, my experience at Posillipo was a delightful journey through Italian cuisine. I highly recommend it to anyone in Canterbury looking for an authentic Italian meal.

Arrived mid afternoon as a party of 7 and we asked to change our booked table from inside to outside, as the weather was so fabulous. They accommodated us straight away, rearranging outside to suit our party. The quality of service, food and wine was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble and the waiting staff were very friendly and attentive. Had such a great afternoon this is now my favourite place to eat. Well done Posillipo for a great afternoon of al-fresco Italian awesomeness!! Big fat 5 stars!!!

5-STAR DINNER!! We arrived early after driving from London and came here based of our hotel chef’s recommendation. We’re sitting here now so satiated after an exquisite dinner! Two of us ordered specials of the evening while the third person ordered an amazing ravioli dish. We started first with a trio of bruschetta. We then added garlic focaccia and separate spinach, and green bean sides. Ended with a delicious custard dessert! So different than 99.9% of American marinara based Italian food. Truly Michelin-quality subtleties of flavors!
