About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Charming
Good for special occasions

Enzo Rosano grew up in a town just outside of Naples, Italy. His fondest memories of his childhood are centered around his mother’s cooking and the spirited meals he shared with his eight siblings. Mama Carmela’s amazing cooking kept her children close to home throughout their childhood and young adulthood. Her culinary influence also played a role in Enzo’s decision to enroll in the Scuola Alberghieria Culinary and Hospitality program in Naples. Upon completion of his culinary training, Enzo landed a job as bartender at Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Vong’s in London. Next was a stop as bar manager at The Berkeley Knightsbridge, a luxury property also in London. When he came to the Bay Area, his first stop was in Half Moon Bay where he helped open one of the town’s most popular restaurants, Mezza Luna, with family friend, Roberto Giovanni. At Caffe Riace,Enzo joined his brothers and worked alongside them as they made plans to open AquaPazza in San Mateo in 2008

Locanda Positano is our favorite East Bay restaurant! We’ve eaten here many, many times over the past years. And we have always received both great food and service! It is both authentic Italian food and great wait staff, including Julia, Nicole, Vito and Marco!

The pasta dish I had “Cacio e Pepe” was gummy and unremarkable. Pasta overcooked. I’ve had this dish in Italy. This was not anywhere near as good.
