50 Best Italian Restaurants near Marina Del Rey

“Good food and good service“

“Happy New Year Y’all!!🥂✨🤘🏼🥳 As many of you know I’ve been playing piano and singing at Casa Ado in Venice for the last 3.5 years, for a total of 700+ shows. There have been two paintings with me in them, a painted recording of this era of my life! It is unclear what will be happening with the restaurant going forward, as there may be some ownership change. Everyone is sort of holding their breath, and for now, music has not been included in January of 2020. There is talk it could go either way in Feb. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thank you all who have come and supported me these past few years on Washington Square and I will keep everyone posted as to what settles out in the next bit of time. For now, I am looking at all the possibilities and have some cool projects lined up on the horizon. Add me as a friend, Stay in touch, and wishing you all the best decade yet! 🥂✨🥳🤘🏼 Love, Mike 🎹🎤❤️“

“Delicious home made pasta ! Friendly staff !“

“Tasty good food, great cocktails and the indoor/outdoor dining area has a cool vibe that makes this a great dining experience“

“I can’t believe this has lower than a 4.8. Pizzana is the real deal. We just came back from Italy and it’s not too far off from our favorite spot in Italy, truly. The Neo Margherita is our go to, it’s so delicious and not like any other pizza in LA. Their salads are also super fresh and the focaccia is so yummy. Pizzana stays in our rotation and never disappoints.“

“great non greasy pizza Loved the dough“

“Food was great! Wonderful dessert recommended by our server!!“

“Angelini Osteria totally lived up to the hype! We had a great dinner there that night and I can't wait to go back again soon. Let's start with the star of this show: uni pasta. Oh my gosh, it was divine! The uni was so fresh and creamy and the pasta itself was cooked just right. Every bite was an explosion of flavor. We also tried the baked lasagna and it was delightful. The layers were perfectly balanced and each bite was full of rich, savory flavors. Let's not forget dessert! We shared a few different things and they were all great. The tiramisu was fluffy and decadent and the chocolate mousse was rich and smooth. Overall, Angelini Osteria is definitely a must-try for Italian food lovers in Los Angeles. The food is incredible, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu!“

“Delicious authentic Roman cuisine …“

“Fantastic restaurant. The vibe inside is great and the space is really well built out. Their pasta is fantastic and I love their selection of different dishes. I am sometimes very picky about my pasta but they did a great job making it. I also thought the fish was very well made and the salad that comes with it was so fresh and good. Overall great experience.“

“My wife and I went to the Grove in Los Angeles last night and we had dinner at "Sogno Toscana," an it was outstanding. It was perfect in every way; great food, great drinks, outstanding and friendly staff, beautiful location, etc. I love Italian food but I can't think of one Italian restaurant that I like, until "Sogno Toscano." The food was outstanding, and there was so much more we saw go by that we can't wait to go back and try. And the drinks were outstanding. I love martini's and they served the best martini I've ever had. Giacomo was our server and took great care of us. He's from Italy and "Sogno Toscana" brought him to America when they opened their New York restaurant, and now he's in LA for this new restaurant. Although very busy, the entire staff were very fun to be around, and most of them are Italian which is also great.“

“Vegan or not, I can’t imagine why anyone would not love this place.❤️“

“The brunch here was fantastic! The passionfruit cocktail was refreshing, but not too sweet. The chopped salad was also excellent and something I would genuinely order again. The staff working were all so kind and showed me wonderful hospitality since I was dining alone. The house made fennel sausage was perfectly juicy and full of flavor. It was a marvelous meal and as a local, definitely a place I would go back to !!“

“Atmosphere was great! Service was fabulous. Drinks were tasty! Margarita Pizza lacked cheese but the Sweet Cheeks was amazing 🤩.“

“Went here last night with some friends who raved about this place, and it did not disappoint! We asked our server, Mickey, to bring us her favorites, with wines chosen by Rachel, our sommelier. The quality of the food, wine pairings and service rank among the best I've experienced -- and I say that having dined at Central in Lima, Peru (#1 restaurant in South America and #2 in the world) in 2022. An amazing meal!!“

“The food was particularly good and even though there aren’t a lot of options, everything was well prepared and tasty. Apparently the chef makes all the pasta in house and there was nice variety and unusual selections. I will go back.“

“Our family had an excellent meal at Mother Wolf last night. The pasta was out of this world and the Italian wine selection was great. The decor is very nice and conducive to an overall excellent experience.“

“Always a great experience and meal at Orto, strongly recommended!“

“Beyond expectations! Best meal & service in at least 10 years. I’ll be back!“

“I took my husband for Father’s Day brunch/lunch at our favorite Italian restaurant here in the Palisades and as always it did not disappoint. It never does. He loved his steak and eggs, steak was Devine and I loved my chick pea soup. Always have the panne cotta and the cherry gelato and an espresso in their delightful patio and you’ve been to Italy!“

“Amazing staff, fantastic food, great atmosphere. 10 out of 10 for me!“

“Great place and very welcoming staff. Food was delicious and very Italian. Highly recommended.“

“An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Spago Beverly Hills“

“If you are in Los Angeles, eating at Jemma Hollywood is a must on your list. They have a lovely staff that is attentive and professional. The food and cocktails are absolutely delicious. I recommend you just order everything! You can't go wrong here.“

“Yummy wine as be delicious food!“

“From the moment we were seated, it was a fantastic experience! Noah was our captain, and Jose was our busboy. Both were incredibly attentive, professional, and welcoming. Their attention to detail and commitment to making sure we had everything we needed truly made our experience special. It’s service like theirs that makes you want to return!“

“（Spicy Honey Pie） ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Thin crispy crust + pepperoni + honey drizzle, sweet and spicy flatHeng is super addictive!Must order!Cons: Too small, not enough for two people to share ($22). Rigatoni Vodka ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The sauce is rich and a perfect blend of cheese and tomato, but you can get tired of eating too much of it. Garlic Shrimp⭐⭐⭐ The shrimp were fresh, but the portion was small (only 5 for $18) and the garlic flavor was not prominent enough. Tiramisu ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just the right amount of wetness, coffee liquor flavor, LA Top 3 level! But open until midnight, one of LA's few delicious late night snack options.“

“Lovely place for great pizza & great service. From the outside, you wouldn’t expect it to be a really chill, relaxing vibe type of place with open kitchen and great place of local neighborhood organic ingredients joint. Very organic kid’s drawing pics hanging throughout the place, it doesn’t look out of place but more of family & neighborhood feeling kind of place. It’s an all day place with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Got here between breakfast & lunch and both menu looks fantastic. Want to order them all but settled for pizzas and salad & of course lemonchello spitz. Great pizza dough and the ingredients are fresh and you can see and taste it that it makes with love for sure. Salad was good abit blanched for me but was focusing on the pizza so…very well make and well cook in the wood fired oven. The pastries look delish and smell fantastic. Service was attentive and friendly, no rush but chill vibe type of service. Prices wise, for 2 pizzas, a cocktail, and a salad and with tip…$150. Parking can be a hassle but if you are willing to walk a little, free neighborhood street parking or if you can find parking within 200feets, then it will be paid street parking or paid garage parking nearby. Still thinking of their pizzas, yum!“

“Delicious food and drinks!“

“We catered a Christmas dinner for 8 with Il Moro and all the food was delicious! We especially loved the melt-in-your-mouth short ribs, divine vegetables and pasta with olives dishes. We will definitely be back!“

“Why go 3000 miles away it’s just as good as Pat steaks and they got a roast pork sandwich too“

“This is a very popular place as it gets crowded even before normal dinner time. The semi-indoor/outdoor seating area is clean and relaxing.“

“I've never been there but i have to say i love what they doing and hopefully we'll get to know each other and taste the beautiful pasta dishes“

“The food was delicious! Service was great“

“Sophia was an INCREDIBLE server, whilst the food was phenomenal she made the entire experience so special and worth every penny. Highly recommend for a special occasion or elegant but still slightly casual date night. Will definitely be coming back and hopefully with miss Sophia as our server again!“

“A small spot right on Venice Beach with about 20 seats—all outdoors, but they have heat lamps, so it’s pretty cozy. Prices are fair for the area at around $ 16 a plate. We showed up at 7 PM, just 30 minutes before closing, but still found a table easily and got served super quickly. The staff was really friendly! As for the pasta, it was okay, but a bit plain and nothing to write home about. Overall, a convenient and affordable option near the beach.“

“Good fare at a fair price...“

“We were visiting from Pennsylvania and found this place. The food was absolutely incredible. Ingredients were all fresh and delicious. For such a small staff it definitely felt as though I was dining at a family member’s home. Every ingredient seemed like it was chosen with great attention. If I lived here I’d be back time and again.“

“Beautiful place to dine and enjoy the morning and afternoon coffee. One of my face place to dine when in the area! Highly recommended place to dine!“

“Might be the best Lasagna I’ve ever had! Food was amazing and the staff was awesome!! Definitely will be a permanent stop each time I’m in LA.“

“The best thing I've eaten since arriving in LA.

We stopped by for lunch and everything was absolutely delicious. A special thanks to Ryan for taking great care of us, and to Jackson, the chef, for coming out of the kitchen to greet us personally. It was a small gesture, but it made us feel very welcome.

Highly recommended.“

“The pizza was very good. The Sei Margarita was a nice traditional tasting pizza and the Mala Lamb was a really good unique pizza that tasted like nothing I had tried on a pizza. The crust was excellent, bubbly and chewy. Save room for the tiramisu which was excellent.“
