Trattoria Positano

We went there early hoping to get the real Italian feel, and meet the owners, but we were totally ignored by the Italian owners (the 3 sisters), they rather hugged and socialized with their regular customers. I told them it was my husband's birthday, and that was also totally ignored. We did not feel welcome at all. However our Brazilian waitress was nice. We're not going back there and won't recommend this place to our social circle. Mi dispiace tanto.

Not sure why it took so long to discover this gem. Family run restaurant for over 35 years. Very fresh ingredients for well prepared salads. Incredible specials, fresh fish over potato and spinach was delicious. Deserts are all made in house-pear in Port wine with vanilla gelato hit the spot. New go to Italian restaurant for us.

It's a really nice place to sit back and relax. It was quiet on a Sunday afternoon and while most people chose outdoor seating the indoor was nice and vacant. They have large windows giving you a nice view towards the ocean and its complimented by a chill Italian themed playlist. There were many small art pieces that add to your viewing. I think it's the details of this place that make it much nicer. It's definely a spot to have a relaxed intimate meal with someone. The food is wonderful. I had a plate of Pappardelle Bolognese and was not disappointed by the flavor. It was cooked nicely, and hot when served. The plate was showey too with its garnish. Although it mentioned ground beef in the mix, I could taste the pork more than anything but the food was still good. I was recommended a good wine pairing. They even refilled it the moment my glass was empty. Aside from that I was not intruded upon while I enjoyed my meal. It seems they are attentive at the appropriate times so I would call their service very professional.

What a wonderful little quaint place. The atmosphere was very beautiful. I loved every part of my experience. They had paintings placed all around the dining area. I could tell it was an artist who was a local. The pictures were vibrant and engaging. Our hostess was the sweetest lady ever and had a very kind demeanor. She recommended a dish to my husband that had him extremely pleased. I had the 4 cheese rigatoni that had a sauce that was beyond delicious. The dishes were reasonably priced and everything was freshly cooked. They even make their desserts fresh but we had to tap out after the delicious meal because we were full. I loved the intimacy of the environment as well and think that it's a great date night for people over 30 years old. We didn't engage in the wine 🍷 but they had a large selection and an on site bartender.

Nice restaurant to have a real Italian dinner in Cardiff By The Sea. The food is authentic and tasted amazing! My family enjoyed their dishes. We enjoyed a nice red wine before the food came out. For dessert we had the positano lime tarta. I highly recommend this place! Great spot for a date and to be right by the ocean views.

My anniversary dinner was great. We had 5 items. All of the specials were great. The wine selection was second to none. We has a Super Tuscan...it went great with everything. We has Lobster Ravioli, Seafood Rosato, and Seafood Soup with goat cheese. You will love the complimentary bread with a tomato spread. Make sure to get the Tiramisu...or take it home for light late night snack. You will not be disappointed.

We love Trattoria Positano is a must have. We have been going for 20 years, and it only gets better and better. Feel like I'm on vacation in Italy. We are fixtures there at least once or twice a week.

This was the perfect ending to the perfect day! What a quaint little hideaway! Food was very good and service was excellent. The ambiance and decor take you right to the heart of Positano Italy. It is rather stuffy and humid during summer months - get a seat close to the door for a light ocean breeze. We ordered the Alfredo with Chicken, and the Spaghetti Bolognese. The starter salads were just right - light and not over embellished. We also ordered the tiramisu and two glasses of Prosecco. It was a little pricey ($125 out the door including tip). The restaurant is owned by three little Italian sisters who like to mix it with the locals walking by - especially those of a K9 race. Overall lovely night.

Food: I ordered the linguini Mediterranean & my husband ordered the chicken dish, we both thought our dishes were delicious. I also ordered a glass of cab Service: Excellent, between the owner and the servers & bus boys, they have one of the best customer service experiences Ambiance: Very cute Italian restaurant, we sat in the patio. They have heat lamps so the cold air wasn't too bad outside Price: :$130 dinner for 2, including 1 glass of wine Noteworthy or not: We were a party of 6, one of the couples, was visiting from AZ and this is her favorite restaurant, so she introduced us all to this restaurant. Highly recommend. This will be a great place for a date night or to meet up with friends.

We have dined at Trattoria Positano for years. Such great bread, rolls and tomato dipping sauce as complementary appetizers. A great selection of salad to choose from . We adore having the gnocchi with Rosa sauce. It is to die for. Our favorite gnocchi with sauce in the city . Great wine list . Other wonderful meals, the ravioli with lobster sauce, as well as lamb, or the veal shanks with polenta and vegetables. They always have a great selection of desserts. We enjoyed chocolate pecan tart with whipped cream and some fruit.... Dogs are welcome on the patio . Service spot on and very personal we love the owners ! Ambiance straight from Positano ... You won't be disappointed !

Super cute little place in Cardiff. Authentic accents all around! Bread is Italian style which was surprising to my French bread loving kids but was fine. Came with a nice marinara. Served cold to really taste the flavor. Needed salt. Got the bruschetta for an app. Perfectly diced tomato's. Very fresh. Again could have used some salt. Calamari was nice. Would have liked it a big more cooked but taste was good. House made raviolis had a good texture and the sauce was good. The bread helped wipe the plate clean! Gnocchis were a hit. I don't even like gnocchi but I would eat a bowl of them. So pillowy and light! Wonderful. Bolognese had a traditional sauce and the meat was soooo good. Also needed salt but lovely texture on the pasta and great portion sizes all around. Kids got pens Alfredo- no kids menu it was the adult size. They said it was good. I didn't get to steal a bite! Dessert was tiramisu. Light and airy as well. Liked the plate clean that also had some fresh fruit. Brought champagne - $30 corkage. My qualm was the receipt is hand written and our charge seemed high (note a 3% cc fee). When I left and mentally added it over and over I was sure we were overcharged. I went back and asked for the itemized receipt and indeed they included a tip for our party of 5 (3 adults 2 kids) without mentioning. The lady I spoke with said it was on the menu but I failed to notice. However she understood and brought my receipt out and we were able to remove the additional tip that I had added not knowing it was included. So I appreciate the quick fix. Beautiful atmosphere and authentic good.

The restaurant brought memories back from my travels in Italy. The staff and ambiance was amazing and treated everyone like family. It wasn't easy to pick one entrée. I have to advise to end your meal with a delicious TIRAMISU... We will be returning....

So frikking good. Love the Quattro formaggii (I'm probably spelling that wrong)). It's total heaven, perfect with a Chianti to balance the cheese

We have been coming here for years! The meat sauce is thick and hearty. The lamb chops are as good as you can get at Steak 48. The herb crust on the lamb is special!!!

This family run restaurant has been here for at least 20 years I think and it's a gem! Authentic Italian and compares to where we've eaten in Florence and Bologna Italy. They serve warm chewy rolls with a delicious fresh tomato sauce . For an entree, I chose the homemade pasta with a meat ragu that was just so full of flavor that I couldn't stop eating it! Pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. It was a hefty portion so I took it home and had it for lunch the next day and it was just as good as the night before. My honey has the special veal chop! Cooked in a velvety buttery sauce and tender as could be. Worth the splurge ! They don't hsavevery I it all the time but we'll be back to keep checking! The service was fantastic! Very attentive and nice! The inside and outside ambiance is also quite charming! Andiamo!

Being from NYC I have a high bar when it comes to Italian restaurants. Positanos in Cardiff is as good as any back in Hoboken or little Italy. Extremely fresh ingredents . Wonderful preparations and an extensive menu. The ravioli mozzarella melts in your mouth. Adequate service, great ambiance A winner all around.

The service was pleasant and everything went quite well. Our server was a generous woman, and has answered to all of our questions with enthusiasm. We had a reservation, so no point in waiting. The ambience was beautiful, mesmerizing in the night. Peaceful, quiet, and nothing that would interrupt my evening seemed to be in the way. The food was delicious, don't get me started on the Alfredo pasta. Such delicious flavors, sauce, yet the chicken disappointed me. It wasn't to my taste, having the "grill" or "charcoal" taste. I know some can fancy it, but it just wasn't my style. The other complaint I have is the variety in non-alcoholic drinks. Not old enough to drink yet, and I thought I could get myself any sort of mock-tails. None of them were able to be made, only fountain drinks and water up for grabs. At least, that's what my second server told me. Could use some work in that, since many teenagers/children/or just non alcoholic fans may have strict restrictions of not being able to drink sodas, either from an allergy reason or just not to the taste (maybe on the diet as well). Overall, the experience was delightful. Would come here again with my friends.

Wow my first time here and won't be my last. This restaurant is outstanding! The food is beyond amazing and it is family owned and operated . The food came out piping hot and tasted delicious and fresh. The family is extremely friendly and the baked goods are all homemade! Loved the ambience and service was outstanding!

Excellent food! Ate in the outside patio and watched the sunset. Real, authentic Italian food. Attentive waitstaff. We will be back!

We had a delicious dinner here a couple of months ago and after a recent return to the area we made the mistake of skipping TP and trying another establishment which we later regretted. All pasta and fish dishes were great. They also had the most delicate tasty cookies which were sitting in a basket on the bar which we purchased on our way out. We enjoyed them with coffee in the morning and wish we had bought more. We frequent many Italian restaurants and are quite picky on authenticity. This restaurant knows what they are doing and we can't wait to return. We had reservations which was great because it was a cool evening and I don't like eating in outdoor patios with heaters (even though their setting appeared lovely). I've seen some negative remarks about the service. All I can say is our sever wasn't particularly warm. We tend to excuse it when the food is top notched but perhaps it's just that we've witnessed our Italian friends and relatives sometimes presenting themselves in the same way. We tried using our "Italian card" but she/server still didn't warm up to us . All good, we will be returning!

Absolutely the best Italian restaurant in the county. Authentic creations that are amazingly flavorful, and beautifully presented. The ambiance and cleanliness are excellent. Everyone who works there are top notch customer service providers. Don't miss this fabulous experience!

The restaurant in Cardiff is small, friendly, and welcoming. The Italian women who own it are engaging and warm. The outdoor patio is attractive and pleasant on a warm evening. The food is consistently good, as is the service. The sauces, the backbone of Italian restaurants, are delicious. I could have been in Positano on the Amalfi Coast. I often go to Trattoria Positano and will continue to do so.

The food is always excellent as well as the service. It is our go-to dining spot. We love the owners.

Loved everything about our experience here, from the warm and welcoming staff to the absolutely delicious pasta. The atmosphere was perfect. Highly recommend!!

The food was ok. They had a lot of hidden extra charges. My husband & I wanted to share a salad and a pasta dish and they charged us a split fee for each one. My daughter ordered a Caesar salad & wanted a piece of salmon on top, instead of charging just for a side, they charged us for a whole dinner. And for a full salad. Brought it to one of the owner's attention & she was rude & would not remove ANY of the extra charges. I believe in good customer service. She should have removed some of the extra charges. Small portions & small pours on their vino. There's much better restaurants nearby.

Really cute little spot that has more seating than you would originally expect. Best Italian dishes I have had in San Diego and by far the best desserts. We have tried a lot of the dishes and everything has been a big hit. The restaurant is run by two Italian sisters that also serve the food! The other servers are great and really helpful when recommending dishes. Right next to Patagonia in Cardiff.

Love this restaurant so!!! It's our favorite Italian north county by far! Great fresh seafood, great pastas and Alfredo, carpaccio and mozzarella and tomatoes! We could always be happy here, family run by an awesome fam!!! Great location and parking too!!!!

Food is good. I had oysters with spinach, not too salty nor overstuffed with cream. The lobster raviolis were very good sauce tasty nor drenched in sauce and the octopus salad was good grilled nicely dressed with plain vinagre. The cooks are good. Service was a bit bizarre. Apparently, BREAD is not allowed to come to the table until the menus have left. So don't go there too hungry or bring your own bread jk. Elderly women who run the place are crude and we noticed patrons are not treated equally unless you are a frequent patron. A lot of favoritism. But we did catch one of them talking about their patrons behind their back. Ambience freezing! Take a winter coat or you'll catch a cold. Outside tables might be a little warmer since there are heat lamps.

Read on for the Pros and Cons...Summary: Good food, lovely restaurant near the beach, curt service by older staff members, street parking, excellent tiramisu, indoor/outdoor dining, no masks worn by staff (May 2022). PROS: A delightful Italian restaurant in the town of Cardiff-by-the-Sea with indoor and outdoor seating. Umbrellas and heat lamps on the patio. We ordered a pasta and vegetable dish (Penne del Campo) but they offer a good variety of dishes...Salads, soups, meat and fish dishes, flatbreads and a good selection of desserts. There were flowers on the table and attractive blue glassware. Although I always find pasta a bit overpriced, their prices are refreshingly moderate compared to some places. Tasty bread and dipping sauce provided. Tiramisu dessert was a decent size and very attractively presented with flowers. (I think it was $12.95, May 2022). Cloth table coverings gave an upscale feel. We were easily able to find street parking about a block away on Aberdeen Dr. Indoor decor is cozy and attractive and is what drew me to the restaurant. Peak-a-boo views of the ocean. You can wander the beach afterwards! CONS: The one thing that let this restaurant down for me was the staff. Don't get me wrong, the service was swift, but except for the young waitress who first provided us water, offered to take our photo and made conversation, the older staff were curt, unpersonable, verging on rude and in a hurry. I did notice they had a 'Help Wanted' sign in the window, so maybe like many places during Covid times, they were short staffed, but a little engagement of 'Welcome to Trattoria Positano, have you been here before and how is your day going?' would go a long way. I would give this restaurant 3 stars based on the staff. Street parking, but we were able to park right around the corner on Aberdeen Drive. Staff were not wearing masks, but we were seated outside, so not too bothered. (May 2022) Would like to have been able to make on-line reservations instead of calling.

My husband found a METAL SPRING in his pasta!! The waitress and the general attitude was very low key. We were shocked and disappointed that they didn't take it more seriously. Th waitress had a bad attitude anyway - she wouldn't let us get started with antipasti, she 'needed to know the whole order'. Would have been nice to have starters and wine while we considered the entrees but no, she rushed us. The music also was awful - too loud and truly bad. The food? Mediocre. We went for my birthday but it was anything but special.

Best Italian seafood restaurant I've found. Service was good, but I was there on a slow night. I had the branzino for the main course and the chocolate ganache pastry for desert. I'll certainly be back to this place.

Pescatarians delight! Ravioli or the salmon are Devine! Great salad too! We especially love the ambience here with tender loving care! We love inside or outside with family Or romantic for couples!

Every item on the menu slaps!!! I've been coming here for 4 years. Love Italian seafood? This place is for you. Veal ravioli is heavenly

Our favorite date night spot. Everything cardiff should be great food, seems very authentic, definitely our favorite Italian restaurant in the area. Staff has always been the same, family owned, not too fancy, everything I want from a local restaurant

Love the consistently excellent food here. I've never had a bad meal here and go once every other week service is also great, and they will accommodate children.

Cute and cozy little place that's located in The Cardiff area near the water. We went on a busy night, but we're seated quickly. We sat outdoors and we're a bit worried about it being cold - but the heaters are well placed and it wasn't bad at all! The service was great despite them being light staffed and every dish was savory/sweet. The bread and sauce that's served when you sit down was DELICIOUS. They have a nice variety of wine and relatively affordable. Cute place for a date night!

This was a sleeper find for us. Visiting San Diego from NYC for the winter, we have frequented many of the guide book picks. But driving by this establishment we peaked in and it was very cute, with a nice outdoor protected area. The staff was charming, efficient and serving delicious cuisine. On a rainy Tuesday evening it wasn't busy. I don't know when the surfers invade the area on the weekends if that will be true. We are about to find out!!

I had been to this restaurant before and enjoyed it. Hence, my return. After tonight however, I will never go back because of the way things were handled so poorly by the business owner. First and foremost, i must say that there is a Spanish speaking manager (woman) whom rocks. She basically managed every table. She worked so fast and multi tasked and instructed everyone on doing everything. That said because she had to work quickly, it took away from the way the wine as poured (splash here and there) and the lack of attention/time we had with her which made everything rushed. It wasn't her fault, it was the unfortunate that everything was hers to manage. My star rating however has nothing to do with this because it was minor and i can get pas it. What i can not get past however, is how rude the owner was. I ordered tomatoe/mozarella salad. I took a bite of the tomatoe and it was crunchy i am not exaggerating. Im Not even kidding. It was a steak tomatoe. I took a second bite because i didn't want to dismiss it so quickly but it was worst. The inside was white. I asked my parents to taste it and they agreed. I wouldn't typically be so picky but we are talking anout a dish where the main ingredient *is* the tomatoe. I considered saying nothing but I would have been sick eating those. I called the owner over and started by telling her i enjoy her restaurant and have been there several times before but that I am really sorry but the tomatoes are really far from ripe. Instead of apologizing and saying thanks for returning to her restaurant and how could she make it right she told me "well you shouldn't order tomatoes when they are not in season" lol! In reality, what she didn't know was that I am vegetarian so there were three starter options for me all including tomatoe: burrata/tomatoe, tomatoe/mozzarella and bruschetta. I didn't bother to explain because a more elegant answer for her to me, should have been "i am sorry we should have advised the tomatoes were not ripe". But it didn't stop there... she continued: "no one else has complained about them yet otherwise we would remove them from the menu" ... i didn't have the heart to tell her that i had bought the most juicy very red tomatoes from whole foods the night before and that it was very possible to have good tomatoes if you buy the right product. I also didn't have the heart to tell her that i thought four times before telling her i could not have them (rather than saying how aweful they were). I almost told her how easy it would be to say they were out of that item to avoid this issue but instead I just looked at her shocked at her poor business management and customer service skills. Most of all, she left a sour taste in my mouth. That is not the way to treat a return customer let alone any customer. The minestrone, according to my dad was aweful. My mom's salad was good. The fetuchini was good , my moms crab cakes also. The rigatoni was good but extremely salty and heavy. The deserts were good. The "capuchino" was absolutely horrendous. I believe they forgot the espresso. I will never return. Not because of the service, not because of the food, but because of the owner's condescending ways.

My wife and I ate here last Saturday evening (2/19) and at the time thought dinner was good. We'd shared two entrees and had different salads. Unfortunately, she fell ill with food poisoning for the next two days. We had shared lunch and are certain it was from our dinner here (We think it was her salad.) We will not be returning.

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant! The patio is charming, the staff is attentive, professional and friendly, and the food is amazing! We tried the calamari, the sea bass special, the rack of lamb and the tiramisu. Everything was plated beautifully, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The sides complemented each plate very well. I would go back just for that fava bean and potato purée with white and green asparagus. I snuck a couple of fries that came with the lamb and they were crispy and tasty, so good! We saved/made room for tiramisu at the end and it was very much worth it. I don't know how we've missed this place all these years; I'm already planning the next visit.

Vegas local out visiting a friend. Was recommended to try this restaurant and this was the best Italian food I've had! Would recommend to anyone wanting authentic Italian food.

Tried this place for a belated Valentine's Day dinner. It was wonderful food and service. We are always on the hunt for authentic delicious Italian in San Diego, and this spot definitely checked all the boxes. Great food, lovely service.

Excellent little Italian restaurant in Cardiff by the Sea. I've been there twice and both times has a great dinning experience. The food is exceptional, flavorful, and some of the best gourmet in the area. If you are anywhere in the San Diego area make the drive and visit this restaurant... you will not be disappointed. Seafood Linguine

We had the opportunity to have dinner last night at Trattoria Positano, after a friend recommended the restaurant. We were very happy with the ambiance, the service and the food. We had the penne del campo and the Linguine Mediterranean. The penne del campo was fantastic, but we were a bit disappointed in the Linguine mediterranee.

Hasn't been here in a while but went for a private party. Super quaint, very Italian. The wines, Champs, and food were pure- selected. The options were decent. Flatbread were apps and I have to say, they were thick and terrible. Cardboard like. The food options had short rib- nice and tender. Gnocchi- which was amazing. Seabass- not amazing but pretty good. A basic salad which was just lettuce in a vinegar type dressing. Rigatoni- plain and not enough sauce. I had a few greetings in front of me in line that don't eat meat and when asking for a meatless Flatbread, they were met with a snarky look and irritation. They served the Flatbread on paper napkins and when asked for a plate, my friend was met with a harsh. "No" and that was that. So rude. After dinner I saw one gal with coffee and when I asked if it was available. I was told, no. The party didn't pay for it or use of cups. Really??? Super petty and bad service if you ask me. Especially when my friends rented out the whole place for the night!! I will not be going back. So many OTHER fantastic Italian option with great service, fun atmospheres and nice staff.

Every thing about this place is wonderful. Fabulous food, great ambiance and we loved our waitress. We did not get her name but she was from Portugal. We can't wait to go back!

After the meal I just had- I might explode. I ordered the sausage and peppers, very flavorless and served with their garlicy marinara. I had with a glass of cab and that too was on point. I splurged and did dessert, which was a flourless chocolate pecan tart; with a cappuccino. The tart was served with blueberries and strawberries; oh so good!!!

Cicciotti's up the street is really my go to, but decided to give Trattoria Positano a shot. Positano price range might be a tad bit lower but don't quote me. The interior vibe is intimate. This is an entree review for the Ravioli d'Aragosta (lobster ravioli). It's one of my favorites, so in all fairness, the bar is high. That said, I was a bit underwhelmed. The rosemary reduction (sauce) was quite tasty, and seasoned properly but the quality of the ravioli and lobster itself was pretty average and on the colder sides and the filling lacked depth just a bit of fresh lobster meat. I'd even go as far to say the ravioli was a bit undercooked. Presentation was lacking. Simple - sauce and ravioli. First time, but will definitely give them another shot. I've got my eye on their Zuppe E Risotti options, they look delicious. Will try something other than one of my favorites next time. Update coming soon!

Oh gosh. I have no idea what I ordered. It was an angel hair pasta with mozzarella and tomato. It was amazing!! Also got a calamari appetizer which was very fresh calamari and delicious. If your craving Italian my friend that lives here says this is the place to go. Super cute inside. Has the Italian vibe for sure.

We were staying near by at an Airbnb. Our daughter was too tired to go out for dinner so we decided to order take out and walk to pick up our food. Everything was packaged well and still tasted delicious after a little walk back to our Airbnb. Our daughter had a flatbread "pizza" my husband and I each had Caesar salad and we shared the lobster ravioli, dinner also came with bread. Next time we go I'll order the ravioli for myself. It was too good to share again ha! The gal who helped us was lovely. I'm looking forward to a dine in experience sans kids ;)

I've lived here for eleven years in Cardiff and we revisited this restaurant last night. AMAZING! We were a party of six and all entrees were delish! Pastas are homemade and I really can say, it's Italy level. Whatever this restaurant is doing, keep doing it! And the outside courtyard is so adorable and quaint. What a gem

Another Italian winner in Cardiff. Instead of going to Cicciotti (down the street) we decided to try this joint. We were not disappointed. We prefer the outside dining to eating inside. The patio is charming with lots of lights and plants. It makes for a romantic atmosphere. We had the Mozzarella Di Capri appetizer. The mozzarella was delicious, though the tomatoes could have been better. The Gnocchi alla Boscaiola was filling and meat-free. The wife had the Linguine Mediterranee. Both dishes were tasty. Even though they seemed short staffed, all of our dishes came out quickly.

What a spot. Staying the night in the area and decided to give it a shot. So glad I did. The space is intimate and warm. I sat at the bar and immediately had a nice glass of Italian red. I'm happy, so I order the soup. Yelpers rave over the soup so how can I miss? No mistake, this is a good soup! Rich and perfect with the bread. Then I had another glass of wine just because..... Now to the sausage flatbread which should be dry and boring but the broccoli make it great! Super moist and great sausage. Plenty for a couple. Service is great and fun. I'd come back in a heartbeat!, cool spot!,

Can for a simple Italian dinner and it did not disappoint. Started with a caesar which was fresh and satisfying- just the bite I was looking for. I then moved in to the ricotta ravioli and it had just the right al dente bite. Lovely flavor. Again- just right. Finished with a shared desert and voila- a simple, reasonably priced Italian dinner. The patio was a nice venue - recommend it.

I have to say the food is fantastic. I had to make this review because there is two women that look like they might be owners who are extremely rude. They rushed us from our table and when we ask questions about the menu we got a very curt response. The wait staff like the people who serve water and bread are amazing however these two women have been snarky and rude to several of our friends. Absolutely beautiful setting however and I like that they are not forcing people to wear masks.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in San Diego for Italian cuisine. It is a family-owned and operated establishment that serves authentic Italian food. The restaurant is conveniently located in Cardiff, which adds to its appeal. I can't get enough of this place. Upscale crowd and the service is great. The entire staff has thick Italian accents and make you feel right at home.

We will NOT be back!!! No employees were wearing masks. Well, to be honest, I might have seen one. The apparent owner who packed up our food was unmasked, the cashier who rang up our take out order was not wearing a mask, and the two or three waiters/waitresses I saw serving diners at their tables had absolutely no face covering. Mind you, we are at what we hope is the peak of Omicron on January 8, 2022. The take out food (5 entrées), was packaged in thin, clear plastic containers wrapped in Saran Wrap; perhaps good for the environment but not so great for keeping the food hot, even though we live less than 1/2 mile away. I can overlook this for the good of the environment. The food was good, not great, not bad. I expected better given all the awesome reviews. I would normally give it another chance. The place looked like it would be a delightful place to eat dinner. Alas, unless the staff resume wearing masks we won't be back. Too many other good restaurants where management follows a simple mask mandate and common sense. In what other ways are they not following Covid protocol? I'm very disappointed in the management of this otherwise seemingly fine restaurant. A Concerned Physician
