Love this place! For me a hidden gem but the locals nearby must know. All the food I’ve tried is the best Italian I’ve had in a while in LA. Service is always amazing and accommodating

Absolutely superb from too top to bottom. Puts unnamed restaurants nearby to shame. Magnificent. Give it a try.

We enjoyed a wonderful meal on the patio with our daughter overlooking the marina. We all had different dishes and each was wonderful. Highly recommended!

We live in Playa Vista and wanted to explore the Marina in our “back yard.” WHAT A HIDDEN GEM! Places on the water front can be such tourist traps. We were totally surprised by everything about this place! Food was fresh and well portioned. Staff was very genuine and hospital. And the VIEW! Come for the a sunset dinner, you won’t regret it :)

Locals and tourist alike will love La Marina. It is so close to a 5 star, but I just can't go there yet.

The place in the Fisherman's Village in Marina Del Rey. Parking is easy, but for a fee. It is set in the middle of the Village. The Village itself is old now, but there are still a few great places to eat and the walk along the water is lovely. The stores for the most part are now closed and the place needs to be remolded to bring back the tourist crowd, but there is other things to do there. It is never too hot since it is right next to the Marina with boats and sea lions and the smell of the sea.

La Marina is super cute. You can dine inside or out. The inside is super clean. It is however very loud and it was not crowded. The place just has terrible acoustics. Now, they can't afford to fix this issue and I don't blame them, but if you want more quiet just eat outside on their great patio. The place is so well maintained and there are great views of the boardwalk and Marina.

The service is very nice, but for us this time, it was really slow. But the server was super kind and listed all the specials for us. Listen to the specials because we had one and it was just fantastic.

We ordered quite a few items. Their starter fried calamari and shrimp was battered lightly and tasted great. They also have the best bread with olive oil for you to pour. We ate it all. It was that good. My husband had a wonderful salad, ever so crispy and fresh as well as their special filet mignon with fresh mashed potatoes. It was cooked perfectly. It is covered with a good sauce and fresh mushrooms. He loved it and I had to remind him to save a small piece for our dogs. He also loved his fresh unsweetened ice tea. He was happy as a clam.

I had the four cheese homemade gnocchi and once I was able to eat it, I loved it. The problem is it came out boiling, I mean literally boiling. I could not touch it. We finally had to remove it from the tray it came in and put it on the plate to try to get it to cool. Now, hot is fine, but had I put that in my mouth I would have been very badly burned. My husband could not touch it either. It took 20 minutes to be eatable. My husband did not want to eat without me, but I insisted he not let his food get cold so he ate and all his food was gone and we were still waiting for this to stop boiling. I was not pleased. Once I was able to eat it, I loved the flavor, it had a tad too much cheese, but overall it was very good. I won't have it again however.

They have a very nice wine list. Their coffee is super.

We will give them another go because there are other things on the menu that also looked great. Have fun.

Starter bread was pretty good. But the main dishes were horrible. It felt like frozen food with a lot of cream added to it. Lasagna was cold inside.

We enjoyed a leisurely lunch with a beautiful harbor view, delicious calamari, and a great glass of Chardonnay that's hard to beat. The homemade marinara and outstanding bread added a lovely touch, making the meal even more enjoyable. It’s always great to have attentive service as well, and it seems like Miguel really enhanced our experience. If you're looking to recommend this place to others or perhaps remember it for a future visit, it sounds like it would satisfy anyone looking for a delightful meal by the water!
