I will be staying in Positano and Capri for a few days each in May.
Can anyone recommend some nice, romantic restaurants in either city?
Any tips on must see attractions that are "off the beaten path"?

If you want "off the beaten path" then you are going to precisely the wrong
place!

I can't judge on Positano but I do can tell you that Capri is always crowded
(althought in May is due to be less crowded). No "off the beaten track"
there, but don't worry because some of the things *on* the beaten track are
worth a visit: the Blue Grotto, a walk to the Convent and the (small)
Harbour and a trip on the cable lift to the highest point of the island (you
can even walk all the way back to Capri or Anacapri). Don't eat on the
island: we've paid 20 euros/dollars for two sodas! By the way: you can see
everything ther is to see in Capri in a day and it's only 40 minutes by
ferry boat from Sorrento: cheaper, cosier, less crowded, lots of romantic
restaurants and several interesting things to see.
Have fun

I have many times been on Capri in December and January. I
wouldn't call it empty, but it's far from crowded then.

Then you chose to go somewhere where you got cheated. There are
many excellent restaurants where you can eat for around the same
prices as elsewhere in Italy.

Only if your view of what there is to to see is extremely narrow,
and you rush. Yes, you can see the blue grotto, San Michele, and
Tiberius's villa in a single day, but there's lots more in Capri.

A walk along the path to the Northern tip is nice too. I guess I agree on
food being overpriced. OTOH, the say is that Capri at night is something
else, with the daytrippers gone.

Even Sorrento is quite touristy. Seems like everything runs in English.
Place has been taken over by retired Brits.

If you are in that part of the world, I would drive further south to
Paestum also.
