In all honesty, this place is pretty good. The food is of great quality; very flavorful and well prepared and presented. Extensive menu, too. What prevents me from a 5-star rating are the very high prices. A dinner for two, with wine, and including your tip, is likely to approach $80. Worse still are the prices they charge on delivered meals. Don't even consider delivery...you'll be shocked.

Love this little place! – Fantastic place for pizza and pasta... oh yeah, and salad and everything else. It's my favorite West LA neighborhood spot. In search of a great pizza? La Bottega Marino is your answer. The servers are so kind and polite and the prices are totally affordable.

Utter disappointment – Food was mediocre, tiny amounts of the ingredients listed (had to search for the pancetta in our pasta), topped with a sub-par, negligent and rude server. I've had amazing Italian food, including in Italy, and this was not even close. Would not recommend.

Casual gourmet Italian – We have enjoyed the menu and service of the West Los Angeles location of La Bottega Marino for years. Whether it’s an early dinner, delivery for a party at home or celebrating a special occasion in La Bottega Marino’s private room, Gregory, David, Lupe, Alex and Rio know which menu items chef Sal Marino has chosen to feature that day. We especially like the texture/flavor mix of crostini and vegetarian antipasto appetizers; the branzini [its accompanying salsa verde is to die for], melt-in- your mout... read more

The Pizza Here is Insane!!!! – In my opinion, hands down, the best NY style pizza in LA. Perfect flavor. Slightly more expensive than others but well worth it.

Hidden Gem – One of the best kept secrets in WLA, La Bottega is a casual Italian deli that has surprisingly good food at reasonable prices. Perhaps because it shares a kitchen with the upscale Il Grano next door, the quality is excellent. It's a funky place -- the type of neighborhood joint you eat in because of the food and relaxed atmosphere, but perhaps not the place to impress out of towners. I've eaten there regularly and had food delivered -- and I've yet to have a bad meal. Great pizza and pasta, especially.

My absolute favourite Italian place - a hidden jem of the Westside!! – My now-husband and I stopped in on a random Saturday night, planning on going to Dolores, which is right across the street, but, our curiousity drew us in. We didn't even realize there were two restaurants (Il Grano is the restaurant, La Bottega is more like a trattoria), and we were worried because we were just in jeans. But, we were welcomed in and seated right away. It is an intimate setting, with just a few tables interspersed within the racks of the ... read more

Great food, simple atmosphere – This place has a surprising menu given its small size and deli-style atmosphere. This is a great place to stop by on your way too or from the movies or if Il Grano (next door) is full (lot's of people seemed confused that there were two Italian places door-to-door, but it seems to work out well).
