What People Are Saying About Marino Restaurant

In Short – While the majority of diners at this family-run Italian eatery are well-heeled industry types, casual is the accepted dress code. Kitschy paintings crowd the walls of the mauve-colored main dining room, which is bathed in a flattering soft lights. With an extensive menu and up to a dozen nightly specials, the choices are plenty, like baby artichoke appetizers with bubbling mozzarella, and a New York steak sautéed with hot peppers, red wine and tomatoes.
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- Choices from the extensive wine list feature a good variety of Italian and California reds, including Barberas, Barolos and cabernets, which are ideally suited to Marino's numerous meat dishes.

HORRIBLE
by kvkenterprises at Citysearch
Was there for a private party this week and thought the service, food, everything was horrible. Have been there several other times over the years and was SHOCKED by the evening spent at what we use to know as a great place to celebrate!!!! This will be my last time @ Marino's unless this establishment personally calls the host of this party and does something to take away the horrible memory of a party gone very bad!!! If you did not have the staff to serve and cook you should have done it yourself Mario Jr........the food was just plain terrible...........and the sevice was even worse....how can you do that to folks who have supported your establishment for so many years?

LA's BEST Family Italian Restaurant
by keuka123 at Citysearch
The Marino Family provides a genuine, impeccable Italian dining experience...an artform which has unfortunately been completely lost in the monotony of the massive chains and ego's of the "Top Chefs" restaurants of the LA. This family run restaurant is HANDS DOWN the best food, and dining experience in Los Angeles.

The last time

Saturday night, 8PM reservation. Obviously overbooked, a 40 minute wait. Bad service due to only 2 waiters and a party in the back room. I've eaten here for years. When the old man ran it, it was different. The son upsold me a bottle of character-less wine. Lately the prices are getting higher and the portions smaller. It's not a cheap place to eat, and I don't really see the need for me to return. This is LA...lots of other restaurants...
