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

Very good Frito misto appetizer. Excellent short ribs. The Dungeness crab fettuccini tasted a little like it came from a can or frozen -s o a disappointment. Excellent Tiramisu desert and focaccia bread served with olive tapenade and olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

The food was very good. Flavorful and authentic. Our table had the lasagna, sea bass and pasta with Italian sausage, mushroom and peas. Everyone was satisfied. The frito Misto was great as well. I did not like that they charged for bread (focaccia and Kalamata olive spread). I’m thankful we got a seat inside the resturant. They have large enclosed outdoor dining areas with heat lamps and blankets. But it was too cold this particular evening to even consider eating outside! However, I look forward to dining here again.

We usually love Locanda Positano but this time the service was very slow, both to get seated then for our food. It seemed as every table had a birthday which meant singing every few minutes. The food was delicious as always. We loved the meatballs and all of our entrees. Chicken marsala is my favorite!

The food and service is always great. Thankfully the heaters were on, and the provided lap blanket was appreciated. Our waiter Marco was great, so much energy!

Delicious fritto misto, pane e olives, thin-crust salsiccia & porchini pizza, and winter salad. Polished off with a glass of Balade pinot noir. Plenty to share in the cozy seating by the front window. Restaurant was surprisingly crowded for a Friday lunch, and the atmosphere made our meal all the more delightful. Topped off by the excellent service by Marco M, who was attentive without being obsequious.

Outstanding service by the young female server. She was exceptional in every way. She timed the pizza appetizer perfectly, checked on us several times and even asked me for my name and sang Happy Birthday to me and gave me a dessert. We had a cozy table in the corner. It was perfect. The restaurant is beautifully decorated for Valentines Day too. This is my favorite restaurant.

Caution: Meters have been added to LP's parking lot and they are closely monitored. We were 2 families dining and we both received $25 tickets when we returned to our cars, just shortly after our meters expired. Put a damper on our dining experience.
