About
Our passion for food stems from our heritage and homeland Sorrento, Italy. This small town along the costal line of the Amalfi is notoriously known for its mouth-watering dishes. After living and working in Sorrento for many years we are proud to share our experiences and infuse our dishes with southern Italian undertones. Our philosophy is simple, we believe that food only tastes great when it is locally sourced, fresh, delivered daily and made by people who know how to cook. We would expect nothing less if we went to a restaurant to eat. That is why we practice this every day at La Marina as we want our customers to relish every bite.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I always find Italian food/restaurants rather expensive and this is no exception. However, the food, service and location are all very good. We were advised to change our preferred booking time to earlier in the evening as there was a large party in, and consequently...we were served quickly and efficiently.More

What a fabulous dining experience on the beautiful portishead marina- as always, we have had a delicious two course meal, full of flavour and not to mention the impeccable service. If you want an authentic Italian experience then La Marina is the place to go!...We came for my mum and dad’s 50th Birthdays on two separate occasions and we were not disappointed. Lots of variety on the menu, and the quality is high on all the dishes so hats off to the chef!More

We spotted this restaurant when walking around the marina and stopped here for lunch. The service was efficient and friendly. We enjoyed or menu choices. We think we may come here for dinner when we are next in the region.

It was simply awful - tasteless, huge bowl of bland pasta, few tasteless prawns, few flakes of crab stick (crab meat in a menu) , no taste, bland. Do they know about garlick or other spices? Do they try their creations?. Too many people, so...no wonder they are lacking quality. Never againMore

A very nice and friendly Italian restaurant on Portishead's harbour.  We arrived without a booking, and they were happy to fit us in.  It was a busy lunchtime with what appeared to be lots of repeat customers, which is always a good sign. There was...a good selection of dishes on the menu.More

Fabulous Sunday lunch. Service was great, not over bearing but friendly and relaxed. A beautiful way to spend a warm Sunday lunch, with great food and atmosphere with brilliant food and drinks.

Family meal to celebrate a birthday, the restaurant is small but nice and very hot inside, four of our party ordered starters all four left most of it and when the waiter came to collect the plates they mentioned that it was very dry and...could not eat it all his attitude of complete disinterest, we then ordered our mains some of us ordered the chicken and mushrooms but the waiter was very short with us saying if you don't tell me type you want how will i know what to get you. When the meal came it was ok others in the party had to wait a bit longer before their meals came, it was a shame that some of the waiters had a bit of an attitude, the meals were ok but not brilliant for the price i think they are over priced. I do not think i will be rushing back there again in the near future.More

The waiter was rude from the start.My food was lovely but a few friends who ordered the fillet medallions were very disappointed. The more senior waiter was very defensive when they asked about it.Worst of all they rang a bell or fire alarm when they...wanted us to leave.So very hit & miss.I have no plans to return.More

Truly excellent, every single time. Excellent, friendly service and in our last trip, wowed my neighbour with the best pork belly he'd ever had, truly mouthwatering. My lobster was excellent 😍 Always excellent quality food, great atmosphere and a lovely view. The waiters even remember...that I often have a garlic bread with my starter 🤣. A regular favourite.More

A varied interesting menu which is reasonably priced. We were spoilt for choice so will return to try other menu options Both the starters and mains were tasty and beautifully presented using fresh ingredients. Portion sizes were such that we couldn’t manage a dessert but...they looked delicious. The service was good and the waiters were attentive without rushing us to make choices. Altogether a very pleasant experience which we will definitely repeat.More

Myself, wife and friends were visiting Portishead and went for a stroll around the Marina. As we got to the top end by the beach we noticed this restaurant. We only had drinks this time and was served by an Italian gentleman. He was very...friendly and helpful. They have a good range of drinks.More
