About the restaurant

Nestled amidst lush greenery and framed by a serene courtyard, previously 2 Michelin star-awarded Somni offers an oasis from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles. Chef Zabala will redefine Somni as a personal, transportive, and emotive experience for guests, reflective of his Catalan heritage and love of Southern California which he now calls home.

Somni features an extensive tasting menu and offers seatings at both the Chef's Counter and private dining room.

Somni's 400-selection wine list highlights top producers from Spain and California as well as some of our favorite bottlings from around the world. Corkage is $150 per 750 ml (limit 2 bottles per party) for bottles not on our list. Contact us at info@somnirestaurant.com to inquire about bringing your own bottle.
Due to Somni's unique menu, we unfortunately cannot accommodate dietary restrictions, including gluten, dairy, egg, gelatin, nut allergies, or vegan, vegetarian, and no meat/seafood diets.

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.

15 years ago the Piccola Trattoria name was introduced to the Santa Clarita Valley. A concept that began from its Sicilian roots, a way to offer the delicious meals the Piccola Trattoria family grew up enjoying, our interpretation of the best we have come to know in the Italian culture using the best local ingredients as simply as possible. The same delicious simple food that tastes as good as you remember from your last visit to Italy.
