I was very pleased with the total experience. I came from the South Bay and chose the restaurant because of the reviews on line. It was very good food and excellent service. Prices are reasonable, not too much food or too expensive.

About the restaurant

15 years ago the Piccola Trattoria name was introduced to the Santa Clarita Valley. A concept that began from its Sicilian roots, a way to offer the delicious meals the Piccola Trattoria family grew up enjoying, our interpretation of the best we have come to know in the Italian culture using the best local ingredients as simply as possible. The same delicious simple food that tastes as good as you remember from your last visit to Italy. The menu is an expression of our most cherished Italian dishes, ranging from fresh pastas, handmade raviolis, and pizza, and incorporating all the freshest local produce, seafood, and meat available. A vast wine list highlighting our collection of the best wine regions in Italy to compliment your dining experience. Our staff is passionate about bringing you Italian hospitality in a warm atmosphere that hopes to remind you of an intimate family dinner. We look forward to welcoming you into Piccola Trattoria! Ciao!

Had such a great time!!! This place has been on my list for a while and I was so happy to finally get to try it. It did not disappoint! The food wasn’t just amazing because it was gluten-free, it was GENUINELY delicious. My friend who isn’t gluten-free was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was! The service was fantastic. They were so accommodating and went above and beyond to honor a request I made when booking the reservation. 10/10 and can’t wait to come back again!

About the restaurant

Marino Ristorante is deeply rooted in Hollywood since the late 1950’s when Ciro (Mario to friends) Marino landed in Hollywood and has ever since had generations of who’s who in the movie, record, art, political and business LA community at his tables. Today it is still family owned and given its warm welcome flavor by the second generation of Marinos, Mario in the dining room and brother Sal in the kitchen.

The decor is modern and comfortable with memorabilia from a 60 year career which all come together to create its appeal. Described by many marrying the quintessential NY Italian in Los Angeles for its history coupled with today’s seasonal menu, highlighting the best locally sourced ingredients and top notch freshest seafood available.
