Sal is an exceptional and wonderful chef/person. Mario is the best host ever. Andrea is the best server. They all make us feel at home & pamper us. Thank you! For another amazing experience.
Absolutely one of the best Italian restaurants (if not the best) in LA. Not a “scene”...just a beautiful, traditional environment that feels very upper east side NYC. Unbelievably delicious food and the service was out of this world. Definitely a little pricey (similar to NYC prices) but worth it, in my opinion. No “influencers”, no “wannabes”, just fine dining with fine people. Will be back again next time I'm on the west coast and will recommend to all of my family and friends. We were there on Saturday night so it was a little bit noisy but that would be my only issue - if u would even call it that. Personally, I like a restaurant to have atmosphere and a little life. But if u want a quiet evening, I'm guessing don't go on a Saturday night. But I loved it. Thanks for a wonderful evening.

Marino is one of my favorite restaurants. The dining room and bar are lovely and comfortable. The food is a delicious combination of solid standards as well as modern, creative dishes. The service is attentive and professional. Personally, I love their fish dishes and of course, their pasta is incredible. Great place for a date or a get-together of friends. Last night a couple of our friends mentioned how many times they had driven by and noticed the sign, now Marino is going to be one of their go-to dinner places.

Marino's is the best..quiet, elegant, and the food is so delicious. A friend and I wanted to have a special upscale evening and Marino's did not disappoint. The Barolo wine that happened to be available by the glass that day, was complex and smooth as silk. The service was attentive, never too much or too little. The flavors were assertive and so so good. I'd even like to try going back and having dinner at the bar, just to chat with those that come in and enjoy the more neighborhood aspect of the restaurant!

Everything was delish! The black bass and grilled squid were our favorite dishes. Our waiter had a wonderful personality and talked about the dishes in length to help us pick and choose what to order. Everyone in the room was enjoying themselves and friendly and deep in convos. Lively!

Great Italian food, a bit pricey for the quality, small place and noisy.
Marino has always been excellent. Fine dining for lunch or dinner. Veal Picata with sautéed spinach, Black Sea Bass and Squash Blossoms.

Great to find a new restaurant that we can always go to before a concert at the Wiltern. The food was delicious and the service was excellent appreciated that they were making sure that dinner was timely so we can make our concert.

The best service you could imagine. As for value I felt the food was good, but not at $175 per person for a fixed menu. I would say it would have been phenomenal at $125pp. Total bill with two glasses of wine and gratuity was over 500. The included gratuity was irritating as well. I am generally a good tipper and was astounded to see that it was not optional. Will likely not visit again.
