Marino Ristorante

About

Neapolitan comfort dishes, the signature anti-pasti, vegan bread baked ancient-Roman-style, a choice of gluten-free pasta choices and an award-winning wine

Story

Classic, old school Marino Ristorante was created by restaurateur,
Ciro “Mario” Marino, in 1983, but the family’s culinary history dates back over 50 years and includes the legendary Martoni’s. Mario Sr. (with sons Mario Jr. and Sal of Il Grano) were the first of a handful of chefs in LA who were out daily in the early morning markets, personally selecting fish and seafood.
“Marino” means “the sea” and here fish and seafood star among the Neapolitan comfort dishes, and the award-winning wine list and anti pasti Known affectionately as the unofficial “Paramount Studios commissary” for power hitters and celebrities. After Ciro passed away in 2009, wife Maria, son Mario carries on the legacy.
Known affectionately as the unofficial “Paramount Studios commissary.” Ciro “Mario” Marino, created Marino Ristorante in 1983, after he made restaurant history with the legendary celebrity hangout, Martoni's (where Sonny Bono wrote, "You've Got Me Babe)" and the first outdoor cafe, on Sunset in West Hollywood,
Neapolitan comfort dishes, the signature anti-pasti, vegan bread baked ancient-Roman-style, a choice of gluten-free pasta choices and an award-winning wine list define Marino. Classic dishes are made with healthy, fresh seasonal produce - organic whenever possible - and in the summer with tomatoes from the Marino’s own garden.

Been a customer of both this and the family's former establishments in Santa Monica for almost 20 years. If you're looking for the most authentic Italian in town, with both a flare for modern interpretations in addition to all the favorite classics, this is the place. Served with a traditional style, the rustic looking building has a classic uncomplicated interior elegance in the main dining room - making it feel both formal and comfortable. The atmosphere and staff, to say nothing of the long standing location, are a nice compliment for the always satisfying meals.

Unfortunately, I was unable to take a picture of my food because it was just too damn good to take a moment away from eating the whole plate. This is hands down the BEST BEST pasta I have ever had-- I promise!! I ordered the brochette and oh. My. Goodness. it was so delicious and the cheese was nice and creamy and fresh! I enjoyed every bite of it. The complementary bread that they offer with the sun dried tomato oil is so soft and warm. Tastes like it was just taken out the oven. For my pasta I ordered the 3 ingredient carbonation... It was honestly the most delicious plate I've ever had. The panda cottar was also great, it was the perfect way to end such a satisfying meal. I cannot wait to return and indulge again! Must try.

Marino Ristaurante did a fabulous job with my birthday! They gave me their elegant private room and made a special meal and menu, which was really a nice touch. I had a delicious organic mixed green salad and salmon and veggies. They were very accommodating to my food allergies and the food was delicious. They helped me select excellent wines to be served. I also brought in magnum bottles of champagne and they were fine with that rather than charging me double corkage fees like some other nit picky restaurants do. Further, they didn't charge me a cake cutting fee since I brought in a gluten and dairy free cake and they fortunately had candles. Everything was so easy to put together and the service was prompt. Most importantly, when it came to checking out at the end of the night, there were no surprises on the bill, everything was charged as Mario, the manager who helped with the event, said would be charged. He had integrity and that helped me enjoy my night. I highly recommend doing an event here. My 20 guests and I all had a really nice time. Thank you again! :D
