The Locanda experience

 We are committed to creating a one-of-a-kind guest experience by bringing our old-world hospitality together with our authentic recipes that combine traditional Italian and modern-creative cooking styles in a warm, inviting atmosphere. Our talented, hospitable team is ready to exceed our guests' expectations to ensure all who walk through our doors feel like they have a seat at our family table and leave impressed by their experience. All of our locations have been carefully selected and we want our warmth, caring and hospitality to reach beyond our restaurant walls into our community. We strive to not only be a generous member of our community but to also provide a rewarding work environment for our team, our extended family.

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. At Caffe Riace, Enzo joined his brothers and worked alongside them as they made plans to open AquaPazza in San Mateo in 2008. Locanda Positano was opened in 2011 in San Carlos and is the first restaurant opened in the Locanda chain.
