Marino Restaurant

"Marino has always been excellent. Fine dining for lunch or dinner. Veal Picata with sautéed spinach, Black Sea Bass and Squash Blossoms."

"The most amazing experience, service, and food I’ve ever had in Los Angeles. Sal and Mario Marino are absolute PLEASURE. My friend and I ordered 4 different dishes and all of them were truly extraordinary. We’ve both been to Italy and this is what it is to have true Italian pasta in America. We ate the pumpkin & sage tortellini, zucchini blossoms, cassonetti pasta, and the truffle gnocchi. All 4 were amazing… so decadent and you can tell that they use fresh ingredients. Sal, the chef came out to speak to us and Mario got us a reservation so quickly. We’re coming back. It was truly a great experience."

"I showed up without a reservation for a quick bite. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. I've had a mushroom cauliflower salad. It was very light and fresh, and served quickly. Two gin&tonics went well with it. On a side note, I loved their glassware!"

"Went there for dinner. We did use open table to reserve it. Everything we had was top notch. All of the servers we so pleasant. We didn't have room for dessert but couldn't pass up on the experience so we got the cream puffs. Yum."

"Marino is genuinely a fantastic dining experience. The ambiance of the restaurant is elegant and inviting. One of the restaurant’s owners, Mario, will always welcome you with a warm hello. Sit at the bar, and you'll have excellent service from the bartender Raul who makes exquisite cocktails. You'll always feel well taken care of by each service staff. The food is absolutely delicious. A must try the cauliflower mushroom and the cheesecake—an incredible Italian restaurant in La."
