Absolutely amazing experience at Marina. Our food was incredible, and our server and all of the staff were so welcoming. Get the mushrooms! I swear, even if you don’t like mushrooms, get them!

Truffle cavatelli was 5/5, so delicious!!! Scallop risotto and pizza were also excellent! The fried pork chop was ok, would try something else next time. We were lucky and got a parking in front of the restaurant. Table was ready on time. Service was great, had an issue but resolved quickly.

I’ve always wanted to try Marina so I finally came here with my lover last night. The restaurant is decorated more so on the romantic setting so it’s perfect. We ordered 3 dishes, Rabbit Bolognese, Truffle Cavatelli & Bianca Pizza. Wash it all down with Sparkling Water!
Rabbit Bolognese was the star of the show, never had Rabbit before and it tastes like Chicken! Bianca Pizza was good but the Truffle Cavatelli was a let down. Expensive and way too salty. I wouldn’t ever order that again.
Ask the server for a few small plates for the pizza but never came back.

Marina did not disappoint! The fresh seasonal menu uses local ingredients sourced from the Pasadena Farmeds Market. You can taste the quality — every dish is amazing! We also met Gustavo, one of the owners, who was so warm and welcoming and had fantastic dish recommendations. We also saw that they had pasta options for gluten-free diners.
We tried and loved:
Persimmon Salad (a surprising favorite, these tangy fresh flavors contrasted perfectly against the ricotta cheese, and the persimmons were SO sweet and delicious)
Butternut Squash Agnolotto (incredible flavors with the sage and brown butter, and perfect for fall)
Truffle Cavatelli (the actual favorite — mouthwatering flavors and very generous on the truffle!)
Wagyu Flat Iron Steak (juicy and flavorful)
We also got the Salvavita, Bourbon & I Don’t Give a Fig cocktails. They were delicious and beautifully presented.
We’ll be back to try more dishes soon!

Second time here and it was delicious . I tried new items from the menu and it was amazing. The branzino and the pasta with mushrooms were so appreciated by my pallet

Another Pasadena dinner meetup with friend for a belated birthday meal. Even though it wasn't too packed, reservations are recommended if you can! It was a cool early evening so we sat outside in the patio area.
We split the Mushroom Linguini ($27), Carbonara ($24), and dessert. Both pastas were rich and perfect for sharing to get the different flavors from each one. Dessert was slightly tangy from the lemon, but yummy.
Metered street parking or parking in nearby structures.

Five star for the pastas and Caesar salad. We had the truffle pasta which was really great and Al Dante texture is perfect, the mushroom pasta was also pretty good. Caesar salad was the bomb. The dessert of tiramisu and the other one was just so so because I was expecting more liquor on my tiramisu which I can't find there. Make reservation it get packed.

Excellent restaurant, would give it 10 stars if I could. Started with a flavorful grilled bread and squash blossoms which were tender, nutty and creamy. We had the mushroom tagliatelle (deep rich unami flavor) and the cacio e pepe spaghetti (creamy, with a few peppercorns that were explosions of flavor) that left us wanting more. The highlight of the night was the excellent service of Dani. Super recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
