The owner is available at each meal and he and his staff are very welcoming and attentive. The menu and wine list has excellent Italian selections. Sometimes just getting a few appetizers and some wine at the bar and listening to the live jazz music makes for a great evening. I recommend Positano's highly and I am looking forward to going there for a nice Easter meal.

***GLUTEN FREE REVIEW*** On my Gluten Free journey to find…read morenew places to enjoy, I came across suggestions for Casa Cosenza. I read that the Chef is the wife/owner and the husband/owner runs front of house. I read they offered GF bread, pasta and other options. We went in right after they opened for the evening at 5:30pm. There was a couple at the bar and 5 gentlemen at a table. The ambiance and decor is nice and comfortable. There's a full bar. As we sat a young man brought water and menus right away, then brought a bread plate. I asked if he could bring GF bread. He returned and let me know there was none available. Not a big deal. The owner greeted us and I asked about the menu. On Yelp a menu shows clearly marked GF options, but none were on this revised menu. It did have a notation that GF options were available upon request. He said to just pick what I like and he'll see if it can be GF. I'll be honest, I "think" the server(s) must have called in sick because it was just the owner and the young kid, and the owner seemed very disorganized about serving and it wasnt even busy yet. It took a good 10-15 minutes until he was able to make his way back to us to order wine and a cocktail. His response to hubby's cocktail was that he's not a bartender and cant make a Moscow Mule. I asked if he had GingerBeer (I would walk him through it) but he said no. Hubby drank water, I had a glass of Pinot Noir. I knew things like Lasagne, Ravioli, etc could not be made GF, but the 3 plain pasta options weren't appealing to me. So I asked about the Eggplant appetizer and could it be made a dinner. He said he could make it dinner sized. Sounds good! Hubby got the Veal Scallopini Marsala. It does take awhile to get the food but you are forewarned that everything is fresh and made to order, so we were ok with the wait. My eggplant and sauce had a delicious flavor! However, the portion was small...either they forgot to make it larger (but charged me for it) or it just wasnt sufficient. Sadly, I left hungry. Worse, it was also COLD. I was so surprised! It was so cold that the Mozzarella Cheese was hardened on the inside. And speaking of hard....both hubby and my potatoes were hard and undercooked so we couldnt eat them. The veggies were good, but I also couldnt eat the chewy round parmesan crisps. Husband's Meal was decent, he said the sauce was delicious, but the veal was a bit tough, and again, his potatoes were undercooked and couldnt eat them. So to sum up, service was a bit disorganized and a tad slow (but I really do think someone called in as there was no server or bartender), the food was cold and small portions, BUT.....the flavor was really good! It is a bit of a disappointment to leave a restaurant hungry and paying $80 for a meal. Reading all the excellent reviews I think we just caught them on an off night. My suggestion, take your chances, it is a charming restaurant and the flavor of the food is really good--just try to catch them on a good night!

The lasagna was rich, flavorful, and tasted like it was made from a treasured family recipe, perfectly layered with homemade goodness.

Everyone was kind, attentive, and genuinely appreciative of our visit. Specifically Clarissa. It's rare to find a place where both the food and the people leave such a lasting impression.

Service - Disappointing. initially, our server was very friendly and attentive. However, as the restaurant became more busy, we became an afterthought. Food - Good. we had the spinach arancini as our appetizer and it was very good. It was lightly breaded, lightly fried and tasted great. I ordered the chicken burrata. The chicken breast was breaded a bit too much and overly fried. Consequently, the chicken was dry and part of it was too tough. The burrata was very good, was pasta and the sauce. Overall - the prices are reasonable and the menu had many options that appealed to me. although I did not have the best experience, I would give it another try when next in the area.

I managed to snap a few photos of the appetizers, but when our entrées arrived, I completely forgot until we were halfway through the meal. Overall, the food was excellent. The meatballs were delicious, although they felt a little pricey for the portion size. The lasagna was unlike anything we've ever had before - rich, flavorful, and absolutely worth ordering. It's a must-try. The calamari was good, though it didn't stand out as much as the other dishes. We'll definitely be back, especially for the meatballs and that incredible lasagna!

Well, I've been looking for my Italian spot on the west coast, and I could just cry tears of JOY! This place rejuvenated me, gave me a night of pure delight. They started me right with the perfect wine & marinated olives and table bread. I know what I was coming for, mixed seafood with marinara and linguini. The sauce was absolutely perfect. Not sweet and full of onions!!! But garlic-y, basil forward, with plump mussels, super tender calamari, and poppin' shrimp. The service was excellent- the waiter gave me great dessert choices too and will say that the tartufo was absolutely mind blowing. The chocolate ice cream on the inside gave me flashbacks of my childhood. This is the BEST Italian food I've had on Florida's West Coast!
