Marino - Los Angeles

I booked Marino Ristorante from Florida, site unseen, for a work related dinner we were hosting while at a symposium in CA. I was simply going off of the reviews online and the location from our hotel. Sal and Mario were very nice to work with while making up the menus. They were lenient with me since i would not know a final count until the last minute. They let me customize an abbreviated menu and even added our company logo. The dinner couldn ' 't have gone any better. The private room was lovely, the food was delicious, and the owners and staff were so sweet. I would recommend this restaurant to L.A. visitors for sure! Thank you, thank you!!! Gina

The food was amazing; the halibut was creamy flaky, the butterflied veal chop was like butter, the carrot fennel soup was perfect, the avocado stuffed with crab I could have ordered as often as the Campari spritzers! The staff is very knowledgeable, accomodating, friendly and efficient. A wonderful experience.

Great food! Traditional and old fashioned atmosphere, but the food is fresh, locally grown and has exceptional flavours! A gem on Melrose!

Absolutely stellar dining experience. Perfect balance of flavors in every dish. Caring staff and chef who is clearly passionate about his work. Highly recommended.

Great little hole in the wall place. Extraordinary service and very, very tasty food.
