A quick and casual Italian spot in Marina del Rey that’s specializes in garlic knots, good service, and large portions. I will say that there are other Italian places on the west side with better flavors so the C&O edge is that they offer large portions that are great to share and also their service is really great. Inside is very large, it has multiple floors and many different seating options. There was also a large private event going on there so they offer private dining rooms for large groups as well. They have a parking lot but it is $10 which is basically valet. We were able to find a free street spot directly across the street, so there should be plenty of parking options.
The menu is quite large and has a lot of great options on it and almost each dish has the option to make it a “gargantuan” portion aside from certain specialty dishes. One thing that sets this place apart is they put garlic knots on your table and as soon as you eat them, they bring more over. They are honestly really good and it would be almost impossible to eat just one. For my entrée, I chose the Osso Buco, which was a special for the evening and upgraded my side to linguine with clams on it, which I thought was great. The Osso Buco was a bit fatty and I prefer when the side is risotto, but it was still very good and I would recommend. This would be a great casual option for a meal with friends or family and would also be a great option for kids. I would recommend if you are in the area and feel the price point is especially fair for the portion size that you get.

C&O Cucina in Marina del Rey is a local staple that’s constantly buzzing. Most of the seating is outdoors, creating a lively, high-energy atmosphere that stays packed with people. The menu is massive, and they offer unlimited garlic knots for the table, which are a core part of the experience.
However, despite the large portions, the food was a letdown. The chicken marsala pasta had little to no flavor, and the spaghetti and meatballs were dry and lacked enough sauce. The food seemed much more Americanized than Italian. It was a big disappointment since the online reviews are so overwhelmingly positive. While the portions are definitely generous, the actual quality and seasoning just weren’t there. It’s frustrating when a place with such a great reputation didn’t deliver on the plate, making for a lackluster meal despite the fun vibe.

The service here is absolutely top-notch — warm, attentive, and really makes you feel welcome. They’re famous for their garlic knots, and I can confirm they are absolutely delicious. The staff kept bringing them throughout the meal, and they’re definitely a highlight.
I tried the ribs, which were soft and tender, though I felt they could have used a little more flavour. The mashed potatoes on the side were unfortunately a little cold and bland. Desserts are a highlight — definitely try the Snickers one, it’s fantastic.
The atmosphere is lively and fun, with a strong Italian theme. As an Italian myself, I didn’t find the flavours to be fully authentic, but I can appreciate the effort, even when singing happy birthday in some form of Italian to customers.
Happy hour only applies if you are at the bar, not at the tables.
They have parking on site, but unfortunately you have to pay $10 for it, so I personally turned around and was able to find free street parking nearby.

This is hands down one of my favorite Italian restaurants! I’ve been a regular here for years, and no matter what you order, it’s always exceptional. From the fresh, crispy garlic knots to the perfectly cooked calamari — everything is delicious. My go-to dish (and one I always recommend) is the Penne Genovese — trust me, you’ll be satisfied! The service is always great and the staff stays on top of everything. The vibe depends on where you sit: indoors feels cozy and homey, while the outdoor area has a more modern and casual feel. Definitely a must-try spot!

Excellent experience. First time at C&O. The killer garlic rolls were killer! They were brought to the table every 5 minutes, fresh out of the oven. The fried calamari was okay (a little overcooked), but still good. The rigatoni sausage was slightly overcooked, but there was lots of sausage in the mix. The antipasto salad was excellent. Meal totaled to about $85 (before tip) — dinner for 4. We took home lots of leftovers!
Delightful patio atmosphere with warm heaters all throughout. Service was excellent! Staff continually came to table throughout our meal. Would visit again!

Found this place through searching the best Italian food in the area. Then this place came out as the top one. The portion is really big if you ordered the larger size. They even offered you extra sauce for take-away. Service is superior. Definitely will come back.

Excellent food, lots of selection and what we got was very tasty. Portions are huge order accordingly. And the advice the waiter provides on the amazing unlimited garlic knots is spot on. Too many and you will not be able to eat your food. Service was attentive and quick.

So we almost forgot to take pictures, excuse the sloppy plates, we dug right in!
The plates were perfectly plated!
We enjoy unlimited grilled knots, crispy calamari, fire-grilled shrimp, chicken fettuccine pesto, and Pappardella shrimp, all of which are delicious! We shared the dishes among the three of us and had leftovers!

Zlatna, our server was so attentive and absolutely amazing this evening. It was our last hoorah dinner at C&O since we’re leaving CA and moving to the Northeast. Everything was delicious just how it always has been for many years. Shout out to the other staff too.
