Marlena is a neighborhood restaurant with a simple mission: make people happy and feel welcomed through our passion, knowledge, and warm hospitality. Taking great care of our team, our guests, and our community are our top priorities.
Our goal is to provide the highest quality fresh ingredients, prepared in our Mugnaini wood-burning pizza oven and our Spanish Josper charcoal-fired grill. Inspired by travel, our menu marries local California ingredients with authentic Mediterranean flavors, with heavy culinary inspiration stemming from Sicily through Spain’s Basque country. Working closely with local farmers, our menu is hyper seasonal and changes often. Pizza Napolitana, charcoal grilled seafood and meats, farmers market produce, along with house made pastries and desserts, populate our menus.
Our team is growing and we’re looking for smart, upbeat, authentic people to join us as we expand our work family.
Welcome to Marlena, where wanderers are always welcome. We look forward to meeting you.
