About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Fancy
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    Marino is the best Italian restaurant my girlfriend and I have experienced throughout the greater Los Angeles area. The food was made with quality and love you could taste in every bite. The entire staff from the chef to the valet were so friendly and treated us with the family vibes the restaurant is based around. Also Mario, our host, Sal his brother / chef of the restaurant, and Gabriel our waiter were some of the kindest and most fun people we’ve met at a restaurant. I would give them 11/10 if I could!!
