We went to their mid-week special summer black truffle dinner. It was 4 delicious courses each paired with a wine. The portion of truffles was generous as was the amount of wine with each course. Portions were nicely sized to allow you to eat 4 courses without it being way too much. Dinner is served on a quiet patio which does not feel like steps from Lincoln Blvd. It has a genuine Italian feeling. We enjoyed the dinner very much.

Every single item we ordered off the menu, from appetizers to main food was delicious. The salads, clams, calamari, vegetables, fish, pasta, dessert, all fantastic. Authentic Italian experience. Great service. On the pricey side but great for big groups or date night.

Service was amazing. Food was amazing. I had the best wine. Did not have to wait for anything. I asked for a glass of wine and it was immediately. When we first pulled up I was apprehensive. But you enter in the courtyard with an intimate and adorable outdoor area. Inside was great too. A redo!

The best thing about this restaurant is the food. It was probably the best Italian food I've had in the neighborhood or maybe even in Los Angeles in general. The dishes I had were inventive and thoughtfully prepared. To start I had the Carpaccio Di Manzo, paper thin beef, shaved parmesan and arugula. It was delicious. For my main course I had Pappardelle Al Cinghiale, wild boar in a savory wine reduction sauce. I recommend both but there were so many great-sounding dishes on the menu, I will get something different when I come again. The location leaves something to be desired. Lincoln is a busy thoroughfare and there is some noise. But they do their best to give the space a calm atmosphere. It's a small restaurant and there seemed to be only three people working the night we were there. They were really nice and tried really hard to get to everybody, all pitching in when needed, but it took awhile to get to us at the end of our meal. I go out to eat hoping for great food and that's what Locanda Positano provides. We will be back.

We had a wonderful table and I love this restaurant when I have been in the past. This time the food was very mediocre, the “special” chicken Marsala was tough and dry, very disappointing and overpriced. The calamari was wonderful! Our wild boar pasta was very sweet, not like I remembered, but the risotto was very good. It will be a while before I go back, it was a special occasion and the atmosphere was wonderful, but the food very inconsistent especially for the price.

This is a small and cute neighborhood restaurant. The food is not bad, but considering the price it is too much. Their main problem is that they constantly overcook pasta and rive. We ordrered 3 different types of pasta, and the risotto, and they were all way overcooked. apparently never herd of the obsession italians have with "al dente". The sauces were not bad, the people were nice, but we paid 500 dollars for a meal that frankly could have been at any chain of italian restaurants. We went there for a special celebration, and although not terrible, we did not really enjoy.

We have eat this lovely restaurant a few times. The food is always delicious. This time my mother wanted a pasta dish with porchini mushrooms, which wasn't on the menu. A man I'm guessing was the owner said, "no problem - we're happy to make that for you" - and it was DELICIOUS! Not often you can ask for a custom made meal. Not so sure they could do that on a busy night, but you never know. :-) Highly recommend this place - and we WILL be back!
