Il San Pietro di Positano Dining Guide
The named dining program consists of Zass and Carlino, Terrace Bar, L'Alcova Bar, Bits & Bites, Beach Bar, poolside food and drink service, and in-room dining. Private wine tasting and approved events are bookable services rather than additional restaurants. The Kitchen and The Gardens appear as dining-index stories about production and ingredients, not guest venues. Official sources conflict on Terrace Bar opening, Bits & Bites hours and Monday closure, Beach Bar service start and the scope of room-service hours. Breakfast is served at Zass or as a continental breakfast on the guest's private terrace.

- Carlino dinner is seasonal, weather-dependent and requires a reservation.

Full guide →Terrace Bar
Cocktails, wine, spirits, beer, coffee, tea and zero-proof drinks
The current bar page says 8:00 AM-midnight; the in-house directory says 10:00 AM-midnight
The Grand Terrace bar serves signature and classic cocktails, zero-proof and wellness drinks, Italian and international gin, other spirits, wines, beer, coffee, tea and infusions. Its two official opening times differ by two hours, so the day's start needs confirmation; both sources give midnight as closing.
Full guide →L'Alcova Bar
Cocktails, wine and an extensive spirits selection
3:00 PM-midnight
L'Alcova sits beside Zass and concentrates on cocktails, wine, after-dinner drinks and a broad spirits list. The hotel publishes afternoon cocktail masterclasses and an evening band, but it gives no weekly closure, seating limit or general reservation rule for ordinary bar service.
Full guide →Bits & Bites
International small plates, sushi, sashimi, bao, ceviche and poke
Portal: March 27-October 31, 6:00-10:00 PM. Directory: March 27-May 31, 6:30-10:00 PM; June 1-September 30, 6:00-10:30 PM; October 1-31, 6:00-10:00 PM.
The terrace food truck serves international small plates such as rice-paper rolls, ceviche, sushi and sashimi, bao, takoyaki, edamame and poke. Its portal says it closes on Mondays, while the directory says it opens every day. The same sources publish different seasonal hours, and outdoor operation depends on weather.
Full guide →Beach Bar
Cocktails, wine, beer, juice, smoothies, coffee and wellness drinks
Beach Club and portal: 9:00 AM-7:00 PM. Directory prose says bar service from 8:00 AM to sunset, while its hours line says 9:00 AM to sunset.
The beach outlet serves cocktails, wine, beer, nonalcoholic drinks, fresh juice, shakes, smoothies, coffee and water within the hotel-guest-only cove club. The house does not reconcile the club's fixed closing time with the directory's sunset language, or the directory's own 8:00 versus 9:00 AM service start.
Full guide →Pool Bar
Drinks, salads, sandwiches, sides, fruit and frozen desserts
Lunch 12:30-5:00 PM. Pool access is published as 9:00 AM-6:00 PM by the facilities page and directory, but 9:00 AM-5:00 PM by the pool portal.
The shared freshwater pool has guest-only bar and lunch service covering drinks, salads, sandwiches, sides, fruit and desserts. The menu ends at 5:00 PM, but the surrounding facility's closing time conflicts: two official sources give 6:00 PM and the guest portal gives 5:00 PM.
Full guide →In-Room Dining
Breakfast, all-day dishes and a separate dinner selection
Breakfast 7:00-11:00 AM; all-day menu 11:30 AM-2:00 AM; dinner menu 8:00-10:15 PM. The directory summarizes room service as 7:00 AM-2:00 AM.
Resident room service covers breakfast, daytime and late-night dishes and a separate Zass-style dinner menu, with vegan requests supported. The directory's umbrella 7:00 AM-2:00 AM wording includes breakfast, while the portal labels only the 11:30 AM-2:00 AM selection all day. Pizza follows Zass opening hours, and outside-prepared food cannot be brought in, heated or handled by hotel staff.
