The story
Locanda Positano sits on Lincoln Boulevard in Marina del Rey, carrying the spirit of Positano — the sun-drenched clifftop town on Italy's Amalfi Coast — to the westside of Los Angeles. The name alone sets an expectation: warm hospitality, the kind of Italian cooking that feels rooted in place and tradition.
In 2024, Gambero Rosso — the Italian food bible that sets the standard for Italian cuisine worldwide — awarded Locanda Positano 2 forks, a mark of genuine quality that distinguishes it from the crowded field of Italian restaurants in greater Los Angeles. That recognition speaks to a consistency and authenticity that goes beyond surface-level charm.
For diners in Marina del Rey and the broader LA westside looking for Italian cuisine that earns serious critical attention, Locanda Positano on Lincoln Boulevard is a clear destination. The Gambero Rosso stamp of approval makes it one of the more credible Italian tables in the city.
