Locanda Marin was born in the heart of Larkspur. The product of a rich cultural heritage that passed along for generations, the art of Roman Cuisine, revisited in a modern style. We aim through our cuisine to share our family tradition, surrounding you with a simple meal in great company. The menu offers a selection of authentic recipes from Rome as well as additional specialties from the magic of sitting around a table, sipping good wine and enjoy all the regions of Italy.
We feature wines from Italy, France and California each selected to create the perfect pairing with our food, while also appealing to different plates and preferences. All of this, wrapped in a true Italian accent, will make you feel as if you were living a typical day in Rome, where ”the sun kisses you, the wind caresses you and the city protects you!”

    Well, we felt a little rushed, and the pesto was subpar on the Yaki, and it was recommended by our server so that was surprising. The basil didn’t seem fresh. I didn’t taste any garlic in the pesto, maybe needed nuts and lemons still too, and salt? Pizza was OK -somewhat over cheesed and soggy and not evenly distributed with toppings.The focaccia, amatriciana made up for it as did the lemon sorbet and salted caramel gelato.

    Fun neighborhood-type place. We always feel welcome and happy at La Locanda. The Caesar salad actually tastes like anchovies and the Parmesan makes the dressing a little creamy. All the Pinsa is delicious. We’ve tried them all and enjoyed each variety. Re wine, If you ask for a mineral-ly white, they will recommend and you’ll be happy. All the dishes the wait staff carried by us looked tempting. All the wait staff is friendly. One problem: the focaccia is so good that it’s hard to stop eating it.

    Great food. We had amazing lasagna, a oxtail sauce pasta, and two gnochi meals (one bolognese and one pink sauce) the only critique would be the gnochi were very dense, not light and pillowy. The sauces were all great though and food was prompt and hot. The wine list is pretty extensive as well. Had a very nice evening and we'll be back
