"My wife and I have been going to Posillipo in Canterbury for the past seven years, and in that time no other establishment has been able to usurp its preeminence as our favourite restaurant in the city. Any reviewers who complain about the quality of the food (especially the pizzas and the homemade pasta dishes) are most likely not accustomed to authentic Italian cuisine. As a man of Italian descent (and with the whole-hearted agreement with my genuine Italian friends in Canterbury), I maintain that Posillipo offers the best, most authentic Italian food in the area. As is often the case with real Italian restaurants, the menu is also very reasonably priced. The staff is superb, always making my wife and I feel like honoured guests, attentively seeing to our needs, and never making us feel in any way rushed. The restaurant is conveniently located in the centre of town, close to both the cathedral and the Marlowe Theatre. In short, I cannot recommend this establishment enough, and I always find it difficult to understand why anyone would pass up Posillipo for one of the mediocre (at best) pseudo-Italian chains that populate the High Street."

We were very impressed with the quality of the food here and at such a bargain price. We couldn't work out why they weren't over run with customers! They should be! Highly recommend! View menu

Have visited twice now since our daughter has been at University in Canterbury. Food is absolutely fantastic, well presented and good quality. Service is attentive and friendly. Most recent visit was with family for Mothers Day and once again everything was superb.

We ordered from specials board Pasta with scallops prawn s in a lemon sauce we were dissapointed with the meal,as 2 prawns in dish and 5 tiny scallops. to much pasta but at least this was fresh tasting. I would say it was not very flavoursome at al,l a hint of lemon. It was over priced at £15.95 a dish. Wine we ordered. tasted cheap not great. So we will not return to this restaurant .

Having taken this from other reviewers recommendations I was not disappointed; what a little gem. Fabulous authentic fresh Italan food with a good varied menu and daily specials. All of our food was delicious, fresh and beautifully presented. The staff were attentive and professional . The wine list was also good without being overpriced. I would certainly recommend and return and thank the restaurant for a surprisingly truly lovely experience. View menu

We spent a night in Canterbury so needed to decide where to eat. Online Posillipo looked and sounded good, but in reality this was different. The interior was rather old and cramped and the food offer, which was quite extensive, proved to be disappointing. It has taken a long time to get good pizzas in the UK and so we expect this standard now... Posillipo did not fulfil the promise particularly as the dough could have been better. The staff were attentive and concerned when we questioned this.

We've lived in Canterbury for 11 years and when we fancy Italian always go for one of the obvious large chain restaurants, we didn't know about posillipo until a colleague at work recommended it. We're so glad she did, the atmosphere is great, so was the food, the service was perfect, attentive but without being in your face and the wine was wonderful. The perfect place to go before going to the Marlowe, no rushing or bringing your main when you're still enjoying starters, as experienced in the well known restaurants. A visit to Posillipo was the perfect start to a great evening. There's only one place we'll be going when we fancy Italian in future.

"After never visiting Canterbury before we where looking for somewhere to have a late lunch, we came across this place which looked ok, upon entering the back room we were offered to take a seat in the front area and someone will be with us. We asked what food there was and we where sarcastically shown the food on the blackboard, after choosing what we wanted the polite man went off and put the order in. We did feel that because the man had asked a couple of questions to another member of staff that he was spoke down too a bit. Anyway after placing the order and what we wanted the food came out it wasn’t correct but because it seemed like we were going to interrupt the people in the back room we just took what we had. It was nice food though. When we went to pay we hadn’t noticed that there wasn’t a price list so when we asked for the bill we were told that it was donation, what we thought was enough, it wasn’t posted anywhere and it took us by surprise as we where standing at the till, I was going to pay in cash but was told they don’t take cash so I had to give my donation in card by telling the person how much we where donating. After plucking a figure out of air as we wasn’t prepared we paid and left. Upon leaving we felt that the person we paid thought we hadn’t paid enough and wasn’t happy with the amount but after working out what we would have paid properly we worked out that we had paid more than what it might have been if there was a proper price on everything. Overall it has a great ethos and it’s great for giving people the experience that they need to be in a working environment but they need to show the price or tell customers first that it’s donations and card only."
