Marino Restaurant

We had a lovely dinner at Marino's. Staff was friendly and efficient. We were comfortable in the black booth seats, viewing a Christmas tree and relaxing as the hum of conversations blended around us.The food was delicious. The Calamari Fritti was so tender and fresh. Simply done to perfection. Winter Persimmons with Burrata was a welcoming change from tomatoes. The Branzino does not disappoint when looking for lighter fare. My husband ordered the Chicken Parmigiana and all of us were surprised by how good it tasted. It was one, if not the best, we have ever had. Our friend had the Black Cod and it looked stunning on the plate. For dessert we shared the tiramisu which was another classic done well. So glad we went to Marino's for dinner!

OMG this was such an amazing dinner! Persimmon Burrata, Black Cod, Pappardelle Lamb, NY Steak, Black Truffle Pizza - and wine to match. This was an exceptional experience. Incredible food and service fromMario himself. I can't wait for my next dinner here. One of the best Italian dinners Ive had in Los Angeles. Don't ask about the price lol. It's worth it!100% recommended.

Mario and Sal will make you feel like family. Marino is delicious, inviting, and very special.

My good friend and neighbor took us to dinner here recently. He said he's been coming here for over 30 years or so. I wasn't sure what to expect, but studied the menu and my friend instead said he lets the Chef just make anything he wishes and courses it out for us. I was really happy with this set-up so I didn't have to do any thinking when it came to ordering. I have to say that I was really impressed with the food. My favorite by far was the mushroom and cauliflower course. But everything else that followed was also so delicious, except one tiny tiny comment is that the main protein course was just a tad too salty for us. I was stuffed by the end and really happy I had the opportunity to check out this longstanding restaurant.

Service was wonderful Very good selection Food was terrific Nice ambiance Italian at its finest.

Love love love! I've been coming for a solid decade and they never disappoint. Their truffle dishes are always amazing and their tasting menus are always a satisfying mix.This is a great place for a special occasion or comfortable dinner - Marino is always perfect.

My wife and I love Marino's and we try to visit whenever we are in Los Angeles. We park our car with the valet as the no parking signs are confusing regarding which locations are legal to park We both started with salads both were excellent but I preferred my wife's radicchio salad more than the Marino salad primarily due to the texture of the greensWe got a half order of the oxtail red sauce on pasta.. Just delicious and seasoned well and took me back to Italy!Just wonderful Also had clams vongeleMy wife ordered the lobster fettuccine which she enjoyed.. We had the strawberry rhubarb crostata like dessert with gelato.. A perfect dessert for usService throughout the meal for bottled water alcohol lemon drop martini and food courses piatti was attentive Chatted with Mario and wished him much success and happiness..

It's been a while since I've been to Marino but they remodeled the dining room and the Ambiance is great. Mario was Frank Sinatras private Chef. Mario has since passed on but his sons have taken over operations. The Marino salad was fantastic. My main course was the Filetto Sinatra. A nice cut Angus steak with Mushrooms in a Wine sauce. It melted in my mouth! The steak was cooked med rare like I asked for. The service was also excellent. Definitely worth the money for a nice Dinner.

Amazing food. Attentive and charismatic host/staff. Ambiance feels like you've arrived at home with family. Highly recommend for really any occasion, but anniversaries are especially nice here. My partner and I make sure to come at least once a month.Cheers to Mario and Sal! Can't wait for our next visit.

Went to "Tomato Wednesday " at this LA classic restaurant for lunch. They have a special menu built around the fresh tomatoes harvested from their own garden. It was amazing!Started with the gazpacho and caprese salad. (almost too pretty to eat) Then had the homemade sausage and peppers and spaghetti marinara. Friends had other pasta dishes. Topped it off with their tomato panecotta. All of it delicious. Service was attentive but not overly so and the chef (I believe one of the owners) came out to say hello. Tomato Wednesdays are only during August and September so better hurry, only one Wednesday left.,..The regular menu looks great too and based on lunch, I'm sure everything will be perfectly prepared and delicious
