Food keeps improving here, especially compared to their previous location. Fun and friendly maids. Perfect for people that love something unique. Can get expensive compared to a regular restaurant but you are paying for the experience and entertainment. Everything is wholesome and PG rated so perfect for kids. The maids have the cutest interactions with kids. I love just hanging out at this place after a long day of work or when I have some time. Definitely have at least 90 minutes of free time when you come here. Needing to leave in a rush for sure ruins the experience.

Hollywood

About the restaurant

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.

Had such a great time!!! This place has been on my list for a while and I was so happy to finally get to try it. It did not disappoint! The food wasn’t just amazing because it was gluten-free, it was GENUINELY delicious. My friend who isn’t gluten-free was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was! The service was fantastic. They were so accommodating and went above and beyond to honor a request I made when booking the reservation. 10/10 and can’t wait to come back again!
