Neighborhood gem

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.

The traditional Christmas Eve Feast of Seven Fishes was delicious. We added a wine pairing to each of the three courses which rounded things out nicely. The service was friendly and professional and our fellow diners were upscale, interesting and all appeared to be having a lovely experience.

Dinners at Marino are always delicious, whether I am in the mood for Italian classics or Chef Sal Marino’s innovative modern Italian food. Special menu nights like summertime Tomato Wednesdays and the annual Christmas Eve Feast of the 7 Fishes are not to be missed. Mario Marino greets guests warmly and makes sure that service is tops. And the wine list is huge with many hard to find Italian bottles as well as more well-known favorites.
