Italian
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.

    Returned to Marino's for Dine LA and it didn't disappoint. The four course pre-set menu was excellent, from the spring pea & burrata salad (or crudo di mare option), the homemade gnocchi with shaved truffles, and the option of Wagyu beef cheek over truffled potatoes or Dover Sole, with Strawberry Rhubarb pie. tried everything and it was all A+. Mario is on vacation but the staff bent over backwards to welcome us, including Sal, the chef, visiting the table throughout the meal. Wonderful food and wonderful service.

    Marion's is the classic Italian restaurant. The food is terrific and fortunately for them, they were packed and it's a bit too noisy for my liking. The service could have been more attentive but the food came out quickly. All in all it's a terrific place.

    The food is just outstanding and if you don't take advantage of LA Dine week, you are really missing out! For $65 you get a fabulous 4 course dinner, my wife had the pea tendrils salad I had the fabulous crudo, next came gnocchi with truffles which alone would cost $65, and the truffles were fresh and sliced over the hot gnocchi.....yummy ! Then my wife a Dover sole, a real treat especially in LA and I had the Wyagu and mash, and a strawberry and rhubarb tart with vanilla gellato, Go and book as soon as you can get this while it lasts and then come back, because its worth it, and so are YOU.

    Marino just keeps getting better. It’s very quiet before 7 pm but then gets busy and louder, but not too loud. The service is outstanding. Mario is the consummate host. The halibut was the standout entree for us. And the grilled calamari appetizer. The prices keep going up like everywhere, but Marino remains our favorite neighborhood restaurant.

    Marino's is a very special place. Diners are greeted with warmth, the servers are attentive without hovering, the menu always has new dishes as well as old favorites, and the quality of this authentic Italian cuisine is outstanding. While I would prefer to keep it a secret, they do deserve to attract and retain a new generation of diners.

    Our first time to this Restaurant. Three of us elderly lades pick a restaurant a month that none of us have been to. Marino's was our March choice. It was absolutely fabulous. The ambience, service, food selection and the meals themselves were above excellent. The servers were courteous and attentive. The food was so good. And there was Mario who greeted us when we entered and said goodbye when we left. We may make Mario's our April choice also.
