I have been going to the restaurant since shortly after it opened and thought it was time I said in writing what I keep saying to my friends who live or visit Los Angeles and are looking for terrific Italian food. Not only have I always had a wonderful meal, but it seems to just keep getting better and better with each visit. I am in LA for the holidays and I had dinner there a couple of days before Christmas. The salad was terrific and the Linguine Vongole (one of my favorites) was an absolute knockout once again. Over the years, I have enjoyed numerous items from their menu -- salads, soups, fish, chicken, pastas -- and I can only say it has been aces from start to finish. The atmosphere is pleasant and blessedly the tables are not crowded together. The staff is very friendly, and the cook are superb. But, its the food that keep me coming back whenever I am in LA.

My all-time favorite Italian restaurant anywhere. The talented back of house is equally matched by the warm and inviting front of house. My wife and I recently left California, but went to Enzo and Angelas for over 5 years, and I will miss this place deeply. Everything weve tried has been fresh, vibrant, and delicious; even plates that weve ordered by accident! I almost always get the Rigatoni and Filet with Mushrooms though, its an incredible dish. The maître d, Rodolpho, was always such a pleasure and a joy, and made us feel at home in the restaurant. To us, he defined what a great front of house should be. The entire atmosphere was comfortable and full of charm, complete with Enzos periodic whistling as he worked in the kitchen. I wish you nothing but the best Enzo and Angela. Thank you for all those memories!

Had a wonderful dinner at Enzo and Angela with my Husband. We had the Positano salad (yummy) but pricy @$18.00!!) and we ordered one, Tagliatelle wide pasta noodles, with pork (at $28.00). delicious sauce, a little lean on the pork portion, ; wonderful sautéed mushrooms. And we ordered coffee ($2.00) and tiramisu. (fair) We brought home a little food. I am stuffed. Service was ok; not excellent; we ran out of water. We did have good Chianti house wine. For $86.00 (including tip) we are happy and will definitly go back. The quality of the food was excellent. Beware, parking is Valet and will cost you $3.00 with validation; but plenty of parking, in the "corner mall" lot. Location is upstairs. Nice ambiance!

Great authentic Italian cuisine, led by the remarkable Italian couple Enzo and Angela, warm atmosphere, large selection of Italian wine as well as their own olive oil imported from Italy. I have known them for 23 years and they have never failed to deliver consistent great quality food! You will always feel good when greeted by them with a smile and welcome! Also, the waiter Rodolpho, what a guy! He is like a part of the family, has been with them since the very beginning. He will tell you everything you need about the food and more than you can handle, with the typical italian accent and gestures.

Another great lunch at Enzo & Angela, the favorite restaurant for monthly (at least) get togethers with a friend. Today she had the salmon risotto which she said was delicious and I had the Penne Guiseppe which Ive become slightly addicted to. Always great, friendly service and a little chat with owner Angela always a plus. Deirdre if youre reading this I asked to say hello to you but was told you were very busy. Hope to see you next time! My go to place to introduce to friends.

Enzo & Angelas masterful cuisine from the soup to appetizers to entrees to desserts is unlike any other Italian Restaurant weve visited in the LA! Weve enjoyed their heavenly delights for over 20 years (going back to when they were called Positano in Santa Monica). A very cool environment that makes you feel wonderfully welcome. Cant recommend it highly enough. They are numero uno! Mille Grazie!

Enzo & Angela has become our "go to" special occasion restaurant. Between Hektor (who is fantastic), the wine, the bread and the food (which is phenomenal)...You cant go wrong. The food, the atmosphere, the service...all are quite simply, excellent. Were already looking forward to our next visit to this absolutely perfect Italian restaurant.

WE WERE APPALLED WITH THE TREATMENT RECEIVED FROM THE MANAGER AND OWNERS - WENT TO ENJOY AND HAVE GOOD FOOD BUT BY THE TIME WE FINISHED OUR MEAL WE COULD FEEL THAT WE WERE NOT WELCOMED IN THIS RESTAURANT - THEIR DISCRIMINATION TOWARDS CERTAIN GUESTS COULD BE SENSED AND WE LEFT WITH A VERY POOR IMPRESSION

Food was so good. I cannot believe there wasnt a line out the door. We had linguine and clams and the filet with rigatoni. Great value and the portions are huge. Enzo himself made sure everything was perfect. Will definitely be back.

Exquisite Italian cuisine created personally by Enzo & Angela. Always a delicious special on the menu. Scrumptious homemade raviolis with cant-miss fillings and sauces. Tender meats of impeccable quality.

Very, very bland pesto pasta. My friend ordered calamari which again is very tasteless. I rarely let food go to waste, but I just left $30 on the table and left. It was such a disappointment.

We got the "Facebook menu" for two. Great food, great wine. Enzo had a great personality, and at the end of our meal, Angela came out of the kitchen to meet us.

Really nice place, pretty quiet with very friendly service. We found the specials to be excellent. Also the dessert cakes are amazingly light and fluffy!

The way they handle the food in here is enough to make you fall in love for this place. The people that started out this place know what they are doing.

One of the best Italian restaurants in town. Their cheese and spinach ravioli dish is to die for.

Not real crazy about it. The prices certainly didnt match the quality of food or service.
