SO delicious. The beets with ricotta and the tomato melon appetizers were incredible, as was the pappardelle! Can’t wait to come back

Amazing spot, the wine was great had some Fiano white wine. The pizza and caviar was on point. Atmosphere next to the water was perfect, nothing like it around this area! Definitely coming back soon for lunch.

The newest wind bar in town & best ambience for a wine bar. Great vibes & the crowd is nice. My fave is the burrata pizza

We had a wonderful experience dining in this beautiful new restaurant/bar/market. Many delicious menu options, we loved the heirloom tomato salad, meatballs, soppressata pizza and charcuterie board. Great music.

Stoa Wine Bar in Marina Del Rey is a gem! The pizza is pure Italian perfection—crisp, flavorful, and authentic. Italian sourced VEGAN, GLUTEN FREE, DAIRY FREE, EGG FREE PIZZA CRUST rare option available!! Their wine and liquor and mocktail/non alcohol wine selection is outstanding, with something for every palate. I love the lunch options sandwiches at the deli, but dinner on their large outdoor patio is a vibe—spacious, lively, and perfect for soaking up the MDR sun. The owners are fantastic, clearly passionate about their craft and genuinely care about their customers. Highly recommend for a great meal and drinks!

Stoa’s an incredible restaurant with great ambiance. The food and wine selection is awesome. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend

Great wine bar in Marina Del Rey! Tee had an Italian white wine recommended by the server, which was great. The deserts were also delicious. Overall a great spot for casual get together with friends!

We moved into the neighborhood recently and this was one of the first restaurants we tried! They are very new to Marina Del Rey as well. Overall, we had a really positive experience. One thing they are still ironing out is coursing out food properly. Our food nearly came out all at once which was certainly not preferred. However, all of the food we had was yummy and our waitress was friendly. The vibes and ambience are also excellent! We definitely plan on coming back.

on the surface, Stoa is (at the very least) another great neighborhood wine bar in Los Angeles. but look a little bit deeper and you’ll find something more interesting going on here. this is a place that prides itself not only on great food and drinks, but on facilitating thoughtful conversation and bringing strangers together in parallel. it is a place built on community, idea sharing, and mindfulness through and through (look no further than Stoa’s “in-house” Friday philosopher as an example). through this lens, Stoa has created a true third space - a universal sense of belonging where all members of the community (and beyond) can come together over some great wine + food. also worth mentioning: the wine selection (both BTG/BTB and retail) is next-level. one of the best curated wine lists i’ve seen in LA with a wine team that’ll always help guide you in the right direction. 10/10.

What an incredible experience I had at STOA! The interior was beautiful and inviting. The service was excellent and attentive. And the food!! WOW! Calamari was perfectly seasoned, the meatballs were so flavorful and for sure the star of the show! They are a must order! Really enjoyed the pizzas too, which I paired with a wonderful Cabernet. Finished the meal off with some cannolis to make it a perfect night. Can’t wait to go back!

Stoa is the most AMAZING addition to the Marina!!! They have the most delicious food, drinks, ambiance, and staff. The pizza is exceptional- especially their gluten-free- which is hard to perfect but they did it! We love the beautiful outdoor area which is dog-friendly- an extra bonus 😊

Brian Fusco

Food and drinks were amazing! The meatballs appetizer was unreal. I definitely recommend getting the spicy vodka pizza. The staff are super friendly as well and will go above and beyond for you. You will see me here time and time again.

Excellent spot for lunch! Stoa Wine Bar and Market is an Italian café and market with a warm, inviting atmosphere that’s perfect for a relaxed midday meal. We enjoyed the charcuterie board, and inside our tip we asked for the cheese and charcuterie to be blended together—which worked out wonderfully. The Caprese salad was fresh and flavorful, and while the sandwiches looked delicious, we were more than satisfied with just these dishes. At lunch, it’s serve-yourself style, which we actually liked—just make your drink selection and then order at the counter. Beyond the café experience, you can also shop and take home many of the items, which makes it even more enjoyable.

Just went to this spot here and I loved it. The vibe is amazing and reminds me of Europe so much. We shared some meatballs, the tomato salad (with the goddess dressing which is to die for), the beets, and vodka pizza and had some great wine. Definitely coming back!

From the moment I walked in, the ambiance struck the perfect balance between cozy and chic. There's an effortless elegance here that's warm, inviting, and supremely relaxed with a beautiful rustic bookshelf, encompassing a backsplash lit beautifully during the sunset. The food was delicious, and the espresso martini was smooth, balanced, and easily one of the best I've had in the city. What truly made the experience memorable was the incredible service. Rich, Clary, and Maxwell were outstanding warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They elevated the entire evening and made me feel like more than just a guest. Between the excellent food, standout cocktails, and exceptional staff, Stoa has quickly become one of my favorite spots in LA. Can't wait to come back!

This is the kind of spot we needed in the marina! Great wine selection + full bar with cocktail menu. Food was amazing. We built our own board and the portions were huge - sometimes with cheese and charcuterie you pay so much for so little - not the case here! Meatballs were also full of flavor and a good sized portion. The hamachi crudo was nice, but felt heavy for crudo with all of the sauce. Although the sauce was good because I wanted more bread for it! We got there right at 5:00, and there was a line waiting to be sat, by 6:00 the place was full. I think reservations right now are just call-in, but they said they’ll be on Resy next week so be sure to make a reservation! Atmosphere wise: nice patio in the sunshine. Inside there is bar seating, a little library-esq couch book and regular tables. Inside also has a market where you can purchase cheese and wine. So cute. Service was a little slow - at no fault of the servers/bartenderss though. They were completely slammed right at 5 and maybe could have used a few extra people working.

My friend in MDR popped in to grab a gift card and browse their wonderful food and gift section (the customer service is fantastic). I walked out with one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had—and I consider myself a serious sandwich snob. Do yourself a favor and order the Centurion sandwich from the lunch menu. The crunchy focaccia crust paired with a crispy chicken cutlet, fennel slaw, pickled Anaheim peppers, arugula, Calabrian chili, and aioli creates the perfect balance of flavors. It truly melts in your mouth and honestly brought tears to my eyes.

Relatively new spot in MDR. Both indoor and outdoor seating. However, indoor is very loud when busy. But most LA restaurants seem to be loud inside, maybe it is just me. We had a pizza and salad. But we had excellent help from the sommelier. I forgot his name but he knew the wines very well, made some suggestions based on what we wanted and offered us tastes too. We ended up with a wonderful bottle for our table. The menu is somewhat limited but this is called a wine bar and market, so the selections were fine. We got the olives for a starter. Nice selection in oil with rosemary and thyme. The Tomato Goddess salad is interesting. Tomatoes and fruit surrounded by avocado and green goddess dressing whipped into a 'dip'. (We used the dip with our bones from the pizza). The pizzas here are red or white. We had a marinara and a summer squash. They serve the very thin crust here. Both were flavorful, but we felt they could have had a little more spice or punch to them. The white pizza with summer squash had an interesting texture and taste. This looks like it will be a neighborhood bar as parking here is very tight, only 4 spots. The County parking lot ($6) is the closest to the building. Overall, it was a nice experience and we would try it again bit choose an outdoor table. I would suggest making a reservation. Worth going back to try their other selections of pizza.

I ordered their Epicurean sandwich and it makes me wonder if anyone there has ever actually eaten one. The sum of the parts made a pretty bland tasteless sandwich. Maybe that’s the way it’s supposed to be and others like it that way but it was not for me and I discarded the 2nd half. Maybe I’ll try a different sandwich sometime as they are close by. They could probably also improve by adding some shades on the upper windows and a few more umbrellas for outdoors. At least at noon there were few tables not in direct sunlight, even indoors. I’m guessing they aren’t targeting the lunch crowd but the two other restaurants near by are packed at lunch

This was hands-down the worst dining experience I’ve ever had — not because of a mistake, but because of the attitude. We made a legitimate 8:45 PM reservation through Resy for a birthday/New Year’s dinner. We arrived on time, were seated, and were immediately told it was last call and that we needed to order right then. While taking our order, the server made it painfully clear that our presence was an inconvenience and that we were disrupting his evening. After that, he disappeared entirely. No check-ins, no drinks, no follow-up — nothing. We were forced to go to the bar to order our own drinks and then eventually find a random employee just to request the check. Only after another employee noticed us ordering at the bar did a manager finally come over — not to apologize, not to ask what went wrong, but to quietly discount the drinks as if that solved the issue. It didn’t. This wasn’t a service mistake — it was a complete breakdown of hospitality culture. Fine dining isn’t just about the food or the price point; it’s about making guests feel welcome, cared for, and respected. We felt none of that. If you’re not prepared to serve guests with professionalism and grace at 8:45 PM, then don’t offer 8:45 PM reservations. Don’t invite people in for a celebration and then make them feel like a burden for showing up.
