About:
Marino Restaurant offers incredible Italian cuisine in the heart of Los Angeles. Marino Ristorante has been deeply rooted in Hollywood since the late 1950’s when Ciro Marino (Mario to friends) landed in Hollywood. Ever since his arrival, Ciro has 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 Marino's, Mario in the dining room and brother in the kitchen.
The décor is classic old school, subdued oil paintings and memorabilia from a 60 year career all come together to create its appeal. Described by many quintessential NY Italian in Los Angeles’ for its original flair, today the chefs who are out daily in the early morning markets personally selecting the ingredients for the menu, seeking out the most interesting and pristine items for the specials, always keeping it seasonal and deeply rooted into tradition.
This dinner is all-inclusive of restaurant tax and tip. However, additional tip for the wine service is optional and encouraged, as we bring a large staff to properly serve this event.

ABOUT IAN BLACKBURN, WINE EDUCATOR - 25 YEARS OF INDUSTRY SERVICE
Being a wine anything wasn’t part of the original plan - and when you're raised in a military family, drinking wine may not be the first idea that comes to mind, either. Ian discovered the wine industry at the ripe age of 21 and didn't consider it a career option, but working for top chefs in the formidable dining rooms of early 1990s Los Angeles blew doors open - leading Ian to a career in wine education.
In 1995, he started the internet’s first website dedicated to teaching the world about wine: LearnAboutWine.com. Hosting 100 classes a year for about 20 years – Ian is finally starting to get the hang of this. In 2009, Ian and his best friend Clay Mauritson started making wine together: BeekeeperCellars.com; while this brand remains a small production, Ian hopes to grow Beekeeper Zinfandel into something special.
Working with and around great wine brands for most of his adult-life, and leading wine tours and culinary adventures around the world - Ian loves to share his story and his passion.
When Covid shut down his wineLA.com event business, Ian pivoted full circle and restarted LearnAboutWine.com and launched ZoomIntoWine.com as a way to bring his version of wine education and entertainment to a limitless audience. With his family’s wine store Merchantofwine.com, virtual wine tastings with wine delivered "at home"; is the latest chapter in the evolution of Ian’s dedication to wine education and the wine lifestyle. This bio is a work in progress…let's see what the next vintage provides. In the meantime, Ian continues to study for his Masters of Wine and to write his next book about his journey.
