I highly recomnend dining at Locanda Positano! We dined on a Friday evening, reservations at 6:30, but were hungry eariler so called and they told us to come on ahead. It had been a 90 degree day, but the patio was a comfortable temperature, so we chose a table outside. Staff as always was PERFECT. Attentive to details, but they know when to leave you alone too. I had the Scottish Salmon for the first time AND this is the first time anywhere that a chef seasoned everything with a such perfect balance that I did not want to add pepper or salt. The steamed spinach had a fresh and light flavor that wasn't overpowered by garlic, the sauce on the salmon enhanced the wonderful flavor of the fish without disguising it. The Mashed Potatoes had the right amount of butter built into each bite. My Muscato d'asti was exactly what I wanted to complement my food choices. 12 plus stars out of 10...Locanda Positano did it again. Exceeded Expectations!!!

Swordfish was a little dry. Branzino and pasta was very good. I would have liked the option of pasta or mashed potatoes as a side with fish. Prefer pasta.

The food was good. The service was cordial and polite. We ordered a bottle of wine which never arrived for some odd reason. Ended up having to ask for wine by the glass after our main course arrived. The maitre apologized profusely but it is what it is.

I am truly perplexed why there is so many great reviews. Their food is not fresh (frozen spinach served), chicken parmesan was flat and purple-ish in the inside, melon served with speck was not ripe. Hands down for the price point was the most disappointing experience I can recall in Los Angeles. They have serious nerve to charge the prices they are.

The owner, Michelangelo, and his manager, Donato, we’re so warm and welcoming for their wonderfully prepared food. Large portions made the prices a bit more palatable, and well worth it. Offering fine Italian wines by the glass is uncommonly great and a key reason we’ll be back!

Locanda Positano continues to be one of our favorite restaurants. We go for the wild boar but everything is good. Outside seating is a charming idyllic spot even though just feet from Lincoln Blvd. The service on Monday night was outstanding.

Amazing experience, one of our best dining experiences ever! We’ve travelled many times to Italy and we can safely say that our meal was top notch, without exception. My boar tagatelle was amazing as was my wife’s short rib pasta dish as was the spectacular burrata beefsteak and calamari appetizer. Simply incredible experience and hope to be back soon! The service was the best, enough to take care of us, but not pushy at all. Excellent outside dining area that we thoroughly enjoyed. Grazie!

Owned by an italian family, the food is superb and so is the service and ambiance. Now that they have expanded to the outdoors, their patio is wonderful for summer nights or any night as they have heaters. Great option for Italian food lovers.

Was a quaint, relaxing, romantic dining experience. The food was amazing! Pasta made fresh that day and you could taste the difference!! The staff was very attentive. Our food was brought out appropriately instead of trying to pile everything on us at once like some places do. Was a wonderful experience, definitely going back!

Locanda Positano just gets better and better! The restaurant now has an art studio which you enter in order to reach their beautifully appointed patio. Whether you choose the intimate indoor setting or the patio, the wait staff and the food are unparalleled. Generous servings, and the rigatoni and orecchiette pastas are consistently divine. We shared a lovely Super Tuscan recommended by Giuseppe who selected the perfect choice for us. Whether just an evening out, or a special occasion, you can't go wrong with this delightful restaurant.
