We were there for 3 hours and only had two drinks but could have had more. It seemed like they had enough staff but it was busy and I don't think they are used to that.

The hostess was friendly and sweet but maybe she could help take orders when busy. It was our first time there and I don't plan on going back. There are too many other places.

So I got a Beyond Burger (which is normally $13 alone), fries and a beer. Delicious and a great deal! Only Thursday's at the bar. The Beyond burger was cooked perfectly, served with pickled onion, fresh tomato, lettuce, vegan cheese, and vegan sriracha aioli. Yummy. The fries were fresh and crispy. We also ordered the cauliflower nachos. They were good but had very little sauce on them. We asked for more sauce and the server happily returned with a side of sauce. Excellent service at the register when ordering and excellent service throughout the meal. They have other specials on other nights as well as happy hour deals. This is hands down the best restaurant all around in the area. I did not feel like I was dining in a supermarket. That ambiance was great. I will be back, basically every Thursday for the rest of my life! And then some!

Nice wine selections, delicious bites, and friendly/helpful staff. They offer several wine tasting flights (3-2 oz. pours for $19), as well as by the glass or bottle. There are also several non-alcoholic options, as I was unable to imbibe on this visit. WINE & FOOD: My wife tried three different tasting flights, the Diamond (white wines), the Ruby (red wines), and the Amber (dessert wines). My mother-in-law had a glass of the Moscato D'Asti from Piedmonte, Italy ($13), and I had a non-alcoholic Copenhagen Sparkling Tea ($14) and a Diet Coke ($4). We also tried their Spinach & Artichoke Dip ($15) and the Italian Meatballs ($19) and finished it off with the Lemon Berry Mascarpone Cake ($13). Everything was delicious and all selections were perfect for the wine flights we paired them with. Bottle prices were reasonable, and we left with all three of the dessert wines, and a bottle of the Arneis. NOTE: I heard that the Turquoise Wine Bar Glendale has recently been awarded Wine Spectator's 2026 "Award of Excellence". Whether you live in the Phoenix area or are visiting from out of town, I highly recommend that you check this place out.

Two members of our group arrived before the rest of us and were told they could not be seated until the entire party was present. When I arrived and mentioned that I had made the reservation, the hostess responded in a rude and dismissive manner, which immediately created an uncomfortable first impression. The experience continued to feel awkward when the young woman escorting us to our table asked how my day was going. I mentioned that it had been going well until I was spoken to rudely by the hostess, and instead of addressing the situation professionally, she responded coldly and seemed to take offense. Our waitress also came across as abrupt and unfriendly. When our friend asked for another drink, her response was sharp and dismissive. While I understand that drink timing depends on the bar, the way it was communicated was unnecessary and unprofessional. To her credit, she did improve later in the meal, and the dinner ultimately worked out. However, had we not been dining with two other couples, we likely would have left after those early interactions.

Everything I saw online, and based on the name, gave me the impression it had a nice view of the valley. It doesn't. The view is some bushes in front of it immediately next to the road. The food was just okay. I had the Cubano. The meat was dry and there wasn't enough condiments to overcome it. I was going to ask for some thousand island, but our waiter was more interested in visiting with other staff than being attentive to customers. The chips that came with it (house made?) were pretty basic and added nothing to the meal. Wife liked their house made sangria, so we asked for a bottle to go. It's available on site in a carafe only. I get why it's a local favorite, but it's not worth the drive otherwise.

Even though it's a busy entertainment district, you'll find parking in the large lots that surround the area. Ambiance (4/5): Marino's is an upscale Italian restaurant. We sat at spacious booth. There are also tables and a small bar area. It's nice without being stuffy. Service (4/5): Our waitress did a good job taking care of us. Not terribly friendly but efficient. I asked her some questions and she provided her recommendations. The restaurant wasn't too busy on a Sunday evening, but she did a good job. Drinks (4/5): I ended up getting a beer because they had one that I don't see in a lot of places...La Fin du Monde. This Canadian beer is a craft brew that is hard to find. I couldn't say no. Outside of that, they have a full bar and the soft drinks you'd expect. Food (4/5): We started off with goat cheese croquettes which we were intrigued by due to the creativity. I like croquettes. I like goat cheese. I've never had them in one. Served with a sweet sauce, it's a small portion and didn't totally work. My dining partner agreed. Good idea, not the best execution. Luckily, my entree turned the tide. I had the vodka parmigiana which the waitress mentioned is her favorite dish. Served with linguine in a creamy vodka sauce, the chicken was perfectly breaded and pan fried. Generous portion size here as I took one fillet home. I'd come back for this dish alone.

If you have the pleasure of meeting Reid Bosworth, you're in for a treat. His hospitality is unmatched, and the knowledge he shares about the menu makes the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. You can tell he truly cares, and it elevates every bite. The House Focaccia with the Honey Ricotta is an absolute must order. It was so good we couldn't stop reaching for another piece. I'm usually not a red sauce person, but the Vodka Parmigiana completely changed my mind. It was rich, flavorful, and easily one of the best Italian dishes I've had. The Short Rib Ravioli was another standout. It's creative, comforting, and packed with incredible flavor. From the food to the hospitality, everything exceeded my expectations. Marino's is a hidden gem that deserves so much more attention. If you're wondering whether it's worth the trip, I can confidently say it is.

My husband had never been so I was excited to have him experience it. We headed over to Postinos on a Sunday afternoon and wanted to quick bite before meeting friends.

My husband wanted to order more, but we were headed to another establishment to meet friends and eat - we decided to keep it light. We ordered the apple and fig, salmon, sweet and spicy jam, and Prosciutto Di Parma, Fig & Mascarpone. Throughout the week, my husband continued to recommend other people head over there as it was close to our hotel. When asked, his favorite was the salmon. Mine was the prosciutto. We both sat there and wished it were located in Florida where we live! Thanks for an amazing experience!
