  “We were a family of 5, booked a week ago, seemed to be fully booked most of the time at the weekend, we were there on Saturday evening to celebrate an early Father’s Day. We all had different starters and main courses and deserts. Every dish was very well presented and delicious. My wife had the Tiramisu for desert and said it was the best she has ever tasted (she has tasted a lot!). Also a big shout out for the ice cream filled with Limoncello that was really refreshing and good way to finish the meal. The staff were very friendly and very efficient, we were allocated a 2 hour slot and it didn’t feel rushed or slow, just perfect amount of time to fully appreciate our meals. Whilst we didn’t have Pizza, they do a have an authentic wood fire oven and some of the Pizza coming out looked delicious.”

  “SO good! We had a garlic pizza bread to share, and then pizzas for main alongside a beer and Pornstar Martini to drink! Top service and very friendly waiters. I’ve visited Posillipo about 4 times over the last 3 years and the food quality never misses🙏”

  “Posillipo in Canterbury is a wonderful Italian restaurant that offers an authentic and enjoyable dining experience from start to finish. The warm, rustic décor creates a cosy and welcoming atmosphere the moment you step inside, and the staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel very well looked after. The food is the real highlight. The menu offers a great choice of classic Italian dishes, from fresh pasta and perfectly cooked seafood to delicious, wood-fired pizzas. Everything feels thoughtfully prepared, full of flavour, and made with excellent ingredients. It’s the kind of place where every dish tastes homemade — but better. Portion sizes are satisfying, and the pricing is reasonable for the quality. Whether you’re out for a relaxed meal, a special evening, or simply craving good Italian food, Posillipo is an excellent choice. Overall, this is one of the best Italian restaurants in Canterbury. Highly recommended for its lovely atmosphere, delicious food, and consistently warm service.”

  “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, 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!”
