Reviews for LOCANDA POSITANO in Marina Del Rey, CA
Lots of reviews for Locanda Positano from people who make a point of leaving a lot of 3 star reviews. Highly recommend giving... this place a try for yourself. Quiet, tasteful and welcoming space. Seriously great food. Fantastic wine list. Awesomestaff. Great date spot or just a night to treat yourself. Had the radicchio and braised pear salad, wild boar pappardelle, andbraised lamb shank with saffron risotto. Superb dining experience and it’s our new go-to Italian spot in MdR/Venice area. Read more
Absolutely delicious little restaurant tucked away in the busy Marina. The food and service were amazing, great wine selection.... It has a friendly cozy atmosphere. Definitely going back! Read more
Cute patio for outdoor seating, easy to accommodate order and overall good experience. Giving 4 stars because although a bit... pricey, I'd say quality is not as "authentic" as i would have liked. Italian in the sense that some ingredients may be local.This can be a good thing, but i wish for example the meat and cheese board had a few more imported options. Regardless, I'm justpicky and still recommend this place Read more
Great date spot! Definitely a hidden gem given the high traffic street the restaurant is located on. We really enjoyed the rear... patio although the interior dinning room looked cute. Our server was excellent and had some great menu suggestions. Deliciouspasta and one of the best affogatos I’ve had. Highly recommend and will definitely be back when next in town. Read more
Locanda is a tiny place on Lincoln Blvd. in Marina Del Rey. Parking is a bear, but you may be able to find a place on the... street. Once you arrive you have to walk though the outdoor seating to get inside. The outdoor seating looks bland and boring.We decided to dine inside. It is very pretty. It is small and I like that very much. The service was simply average. For theprice of this place I expect fine dinning service. That did not happen. I think our server was not happy that we did not orderwine. We don't drink when together--sorry. We were served bread which was very good. Our food was simply fine, but for theprice we were not pleased. If you want to charge fine dinning prices than serve fine dinning food. Now, my husbands swordfishwas very good, but the piece of fish was so very thin. My pasta, a lasagna, was not even close to the outrageous price we paidfor it. It tasted a bit better than Olive Garden. I am not kidding. Our server did not ask about dessert, we actually did notsee him once he dropped the food, until he thought we were done and came with a bill. They have a dessert menu it turns out, butit was not offered to us. Finally, the place says it is great for a meal, but the menu says "...because of Covid do notlinger.." Are you kidding me. No one had on a mask, so I don't think they were concerned at all. I felt rushed and the place wasnot crowded. I thought the server bordered on rude. If I am starving I may try it again, I live so close, but really, pick alane, don't linger because of Covid, but no employee has to wear a mask. Give me a break. Read more
Cool patio vibe. But the food was average and service was a bit slow. The veal was rubbery. My wife's pasta was better and the... seafood tasted fresh. Read more
This place has some downfalls, but overall it is quite nice. From the front, the restaurant isn’t very attractive, but the... patio is pretty. The personnel is friendly and attentive, but the service overall isn’t super quick, but at the same time itis not drearily long. Most dishes we tried were delicious, especially the pastas. They are very well-cooked and served. In ouropinion, Caprese and E Pere salad were quite plain, but still good. Caprese did not come with balsamic, which is quite unusualfor Italian restaurants, and E Pere had very little amounts of sauce and salt. The ingredients in every dish are very fresh,though. Each portion was manageable and we enjoyed our time in this place. It is quite popular and while we have been dining,the patio filled completely. Definitely will come back for some more pasta!
