Reviews for Marino Restaurant in Los Angeles, CA

Fantastic food last night at @marino.losangeles. The grilled calamari salad was one of the best I've had. The squid was... seasoned extremely well and was presented ornately. I decided to split the black truffle gnocchi with my date for an appetizerinstead of as an entrée so we could both try it and still sample other menu items for our main courses. The gnocchi was easilymy favorite course of the night. When it comes to the table, the server grated a generous portion of the black truffle tableside filling the air with the glorious aroma of truffle. The gnocchi itself had the most incredible texture and magnificentcreamy sauce. What can say, it was phenomenal. For my main course I had the NY strip and was pleased with the crispy, flavorfulsear on the steak. I can't say as much for the branzino. It was average at best and outshined by every other dish. Finally, thericotta cheesecake had a delectable flavor, with a hint of citrus. The texture was was absolutely mouthwatering. Great job lastnight Marino. Read more

We were walk-ins and were greeted by the owner who was so nice. You can tell the place is good by the atmosphere and Mario... should be extremely proud of what he has built. Fabulous food - calamari fritte for starters followed by the spicy pastasausage. A very calm and quiet Hollywood venue so close to Paramount Studios and the "Happy Days" house. The food was so niceyou'd have thought it was home-made. Hopefully when we come back we can visit again and experience this delightful venue. Read more

Hands down the best Italian restaurant in LA. It is extremely cozy, the staff is kind, attentive and personable. The food will... have you day dreaming for weeks!! (The lasagna is seriously no joke) The chef even came by to say hi at the end of dinner andtold us a little bit of his life story. Thank you to Mario, Sal and the rest of the team for an incredible evening ???????? Read more

Hands down, absolutely amazing! From the food, the craft drinks, ambiance from the outdoor dining and most importantly... the... staff is phenomenal. I called to ask if they could accommodate a large group at the last minute, and they made it happen. 110%in customer service. They made us feel like the most important people in their establishment. I thought this was because we hada large group who was going to spend a lot, but no... I watched as they went to every table and created an amazing experiencefor every single person who was dining. DO NOT PASS ON THIS! You will absolutely LOVE Marino's! Read more

Over the last few years, this restaurant has made significant strides and now produces top-of-the-line Italian cuisine.... Wonderfully prepared dishes rooted in classic techniques, sometimes exploring creative ideas. The tuna / avocado crudo, veal,and duck were some of the best things I've eaten in recent memory.
