Profile Draft
Positano Italian Kitchen and Wine Bar opened on River Road in St. George as the Italian project of brothers Cameron and Royce Payne. Cameron's career runs through Las Vegas Strip kitchens — Wolfgang Puck, Spago, Postrio — and Twisted Noodle Cafe in downtown St. George. Positano leans modern — handmade pastas, fresh fish, a focused wine list, an open kitchen — and is the higher-end of the Payne brothers' two St. George concepts. The room is busier and more polished than Twisted Noodle.
For 435 Alliance, Positano is a strong chef-owned listing and pairs naturally with Twisted Noodle as a single operator's two concepts — useful as a register example of a multi-concept owner.
