About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
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.

    Valentines Day and my wife’s birthday are the same day. Excellent and delicious Prix Fixe menu. Such delicious choices and the wait staff and greeter made us feel like home. Thanks again for a delicious time.

    It was great! We went on Valentine’s Day and the pre-fixe menu was amazing. The cauliflower flan was out of this world. The pannacotta was really great. The lamb ragu was delicious. They even serve sourdough bread before the meal. The service was also fast. It was just perfect timing between the dishes. If you want a dining experience this is the place to try.

    If you are looking for exquisite food, friendly and excellent service then this may be the place for you. Terrific gem that’s been around for quite a while and now I know why they have maintained themselves open for so long. It is my “go to” place for any special occasion or just to go and have a wonderful meal in a friendly atmosphere. Enjoy !
