Marino's La Passione in Fife

I recommend! The food is excellent, varied, Italian dishes are available, the price is reasonable)

What a wonderful find. We were looked after with great care, and our food was brilliant...highly recommend this place if you love food and life!!!!

Out for a birthday dinner with friends and fancied eating Italian (who doesn't). Good food, good service, reasonable drink prices. Well worth a visit!

Food was fantastic, didn’t take long to come and staff were lovely even though they were not expecting such a busy Sunday evening the restaurant was full! I loved the Italian music that was on too great atmosphere.

This is one restaurant I would love to go any time of the year. Absolutely loved my time spent in there the food is amazing and the kitchen is impeccably clean

Food arrived hot which is a plus as many local takeaways find it acceptable to deliver your meal stone cold. Food was good esp pizza, would order again every once in a while as well. Good portion sizes.

Family favourite... been coming for over 30 years... Great food Great staff Great prices

As usual great food good service but strawberry cheese cake big let down looked and tasted cheap not the normal end to a lovely meal dissapointed.

This place poses as an Italian restaurant. There is not a lot of Italian choice on the menu, eg prawn cocktail (really tiny shrimps), steak pie, sausage and mash, profiteroles, lemon meringue pie plus many more. Food was OK, not startling, but it was only £12.95 for 3 course. Don't think we'll be going back.

There is an extensive menu and the portions are huge! Staff were friendly and welcoming. Our waiter was really helpful. Best hot chocolate I've ever had.

One of the best pizza I have ever had ❤️❤️

Takeaway food is a joke. If there is any Italian at all in these people....they should be ashamed.

Friday evening was initially quiet but then it became quite busy and very lively. Service was very good and avocado and prawn starter was very satisfying . The sword fish steak which followed was superb. A thoroughly enjoyed meal and I hope to come back. Wonderful food.

Not an italian restaurant. Before to booking I've read reviews... can't believe that an italian writing well about... Thats are fake reviews

Good Italian cuisine and exceptional service.

Just had a lovely meal at Marino’s La Passione.

Good food, well presented. Friendly staff. Good atmosphere. The waiter made a special effort for my husband’s birthday which was a very nice surprise.

Every Time I've been here, food has been fault less. Excellent food, excellent quality. Booked up again for Friday.

Great value 3 course lunch menu, delicious food. Will be back soon.

First time visiting and really enjoyed. Food excellent and very well priced with great portions. Staff really friendly and aptmosohere was great mix of big tables and couples. Menu has a big selection so something goes everyone. Owners are lovely too Definetly recommend a visit

The best Italian around! They have great service with friendly staff who really care about your experience, the food is so good! Would completely recommend it for any occasion

An excellent and unplanned evening. I have never been before but will certainly be back. Delicious well presented food, service was second to none. A relaxing atmosphere although the restaurant was understandably full. The staff were friendly and helpful A+ and five stars.

Very pleasest stuff, nice food, generous portions. Too many kids for our liking😜

Marino's is the best Italian in Scotland, since I moved to Glasgow I am yet to find one that comes close. Such a great atmosphere, I've been coming here since I was very young, celebrated birthday's etc and its never disappointed. A must go if visiting fife!

Went for the pre-theatre menu, had a great time, good food, superb service, lovely friendly staff.

Nice restaurant and good food but they need to do better at taking orders. Both during my time in the restaurant and taking away have they got my order wrong.

Service shocking. Waitress very obviously not trained , rude abrupt and argumentative. Restaurant struggled to cope with 5 tables on a Saturday night Food just ok. No. Won’t be back.

My go-to for quick fix of Italian food in Kirkcaldy. Fresh seafood! I’ve always ordered the pizza and pasta. My favourite would be the seafood pasta, verdure(grilled vegetable) and contadina pizza. Some days Marino is there working in the kitchen. It’s sad to hear that the crowd has gotten less after pandemic.

Fantastic quality food at a great price. Always leave the restaurant feeling satisfied that we have all enjoyed our meals.

Had pre theatre 3 course meal great value with great food and service .also wine was good as well.really good Italian food

Only dropped one star for the atmosphere as we were one of only 2 groups in when we visited, so it was very quiet, however the staff, service and food were excellent as always.

Always great food and friendly service. Really good value for money.

Food quite nice., good size portions. Typical Italian menu but also some standard british meals. Good very friendly service. Toilets in real need of upgrading, taps leaking, doors stiff, damaged walls etc. Not easily accessible as stairs into entrance.

The people there make you feel at home, they are so nice you really forget you are in a restaurant The food is DELICIOUS I normally don't like shrimps and salmon but they cook it so well that I couldn't resist It was wonderful, really looking forward going again soon

Lovely place, a great variety of food but too loud once you get a squad of people that scream over each other its just not pleasant

First visit tonight. Will definitely be back. Food was delicious and the staff were so friendly especially the lady who gave my partner an assortment of ice cream when he couldn't make up his mind.

Heerlijke pizza gegeten. Inrichting is lekker eenvoudig maar het eten is geweldig.

Food was nice, no complaints really, maybe could have been a bit hotter. Service was non-existent, had to go and find someone every time we needed something or to tell them not all our food had arrived. To be fair to the team on, they did apologise numerous times and experience on previous visits was a lot better, maybe just an off night.

Buoni piatti abbondanti a ottimi prezzi e serviti da personale cordiale e professionale.

Excellent food with an extensive menu. Very helpful and friendly staff. The only minor issue was the loud background music, otherwise we'll be back asap!

Had a lovely mid week visit, but the staff were amazing, and the food was so good x

Pizza was good. Pasta was ok. Charging £5 for this spinach was criminal.

We had the pre theatre menu which was very reasonable priced for three courses each. The selection on this menu was also very good. It came in at about £40.00 for 2 of us, including a pint of coke each. Can't argue with that and the food was excellent, will be back in the future for sure.

Absolutely stunning. Great food the service is far better the staff are no longer over attentive. Only 1 area for improvement is the desserts, they're not the best. They have a feel of Costco cakes or ice cream

Avoid at all costs. Thought we'd treat ourselves to a nice takeaway. Menu looks great, lots of choice etc. We ordered on the app. They charged us, cancelled the order by mistake, then called us to advise we'll need to reorder at our own costs and wait 3-5 days for a refund for the first order. (£50 order) We re-ordered and 2 hours 10 mins later, the most disgusting mush of supposedly Italian Food arrived. Chicken was terrible. Stuffed mushrooms swimming in grease, undercooked onion rings, lasagne was inedible and the minestrone resembled vegetable soup that has been left in the pot for 4 days and turned. Totally rotten service and even worse food. Just save youself some time and put £50 cash into the bin.

Better service and enjoyable meal. Keep up the good work

Love this restaurant Visited yesterday 14/5/23 for my daughters 18th birthday. Lovely staff and lovely food.

Yet another first class meal and reasonably priced.

Absolutely fantastic authentic Italian cuisine. The portions are a great plus, you won't walk out hungry! The staff is nice and helpful and service on time

Absolutely horrible staff one staff member shouted at us and another walked away when we tried to ask a question there pizza's are terrible there pastas are revolting I suggest to stay away from this place

Very tasty at an affordable price. Thank you.

Lovely food, the pasta was delicious and very quick service.

Absolutely brilliant Marino's a gentleman and his staff are excellent. The menu and food are exceptional 😇👍

Change of ownership has sadly hit this place hard. As a local, Marino's used to be the best restaurant in Kirkcaldy. I have been coming to this restaurant for over 15 years and Marino's always delivered quality food and service. The experience I had last was neither great or bad, something just felt off. The new staff seemed extremely undertrained and food was poor. The recipes seem to be the same however, the quality of the produce has seen a noticeable decline. This place has such value to the community and is loved by all. It's such a shame to see its reputation be destroyed. I hope things improve.

The food and service was amazing it was the best restaurant I went to i really really really recommend to go there once you start eating you will never stop! And it was super cheep the best restaurant in Kirkcaldy!

Food was good. Service was horrendous nearly walked out.

I came here a week ago with my sisters and we all ordered from the lunch menu which was not only very reasonably priced for a three course meal but with a lot to choose from. I had the prawn cocktail for starters and sea bass for the main course. When it came to dessert we were given a list of choices and I was hoping there would be my favourite Italian dessert Tiramisu... Alas they didn't have any so I opted for the lemon meringue pie which was lovely. The staff and the owner were all super friendly and very accommodating and so I decided to come back with my husband today. I had battered prawns with chilli dip for starters and lamb chops for the main course which were absolutely delicious. When the waiter came to tell us the dessert list the first thing on that list was Tiramisu! That was it for me, I didn't need to hear the rest of the desserts. When it was served, omg it was so beautifully presented it was almost a shame to eat it. I'm glad I did though because it was the best Tiramisu I've had. I want to say thank you to all the staff and the owner of Marino's for looking after us so well. It is a lovely restaurant with beautiful decor and authentic Italian music. Pure joy to be there!

Excellent food, brilliant service

Good portions, reasonably priced, good service.

Lovely food...large portions very reasonably priced 👍

Was there on Saturday with our Family of 5 ( 4 adults and 1 baby) The meals were lovely but service was a bit slow as it got busy. Had 4 meals and 3 desserts but got charged for 4 desserts.

Absolutely great place. Totally deserves all five stars. Great service and great cuisine .

1st time ever and won't be last. Very nice meal at reasonable price. Fair enjoyed

Lovely Italian good, fresh and well cooked. However, giving 4 stars as portions are absolutely MASSIVE !!!! Way too much food for an average person to eat. I really don't like food waste and I felt bad leaving a lot left on my plate as it was simply too much....! Please review your portion sizes 🙏

The food was wonderful! I had the stracciatella soup as the starter, then the lasagna al forno as the main course, and finally the banana fantasia as the dessert. Afterward we had a cappuccino. The restaurant had a very nice atmosphere, there were Christmas decorations. The waiter was also very friendly to us. We will definitely come back!

The mushroom risotto was excellent.

Very good food. Nice family night out.

Excellent customer service and food is delicious. Special thanks to Joseph for such detailed service.

Great great great can't wait to go back keep up the good work guys

Had the pre theatre meal, delicious food, the chicken and mushroom risotto was delightful, great value for money. Very pleasant staff. I'll definitely be back.

Oct 2022 update - although Marino has stepped back from day to day here, it's still fantastic quality, service and value. The set menu remains an astounding deal, especially with costs these days. Well worth a visit! Original - I genuinely believe you couldn't beat the value and quality of the lunch menu offered here.

Son and I had lovely evening dinner was excellent

1st time having a take away ,the service & food was really good ,would definetly order a take away again

I regularly eat at Marino's with my partner and never have any complaints. Sevice and food are always spot on. Unfortunately the sevice last night was very disappointing. We had our order taken promptly, drinks, starters and main course all served to the usual high standard. We then waited more than half an hour after our plates were cleared and had to ask for someone to take our order for desserts, not once but twice, before a waiter came to us. This particular waiter was the only one on the floor at this time. He went round the tables, of what appeared to be regular customers, just chatting to them. He blatantly ignored my friends and I to our absolute disgust. My friends and I all work in a public service environment and understand the importance of customer care. However this should not be to the detriment of other customers. Our desserts arrived promptly and were all to the usual high standard that we have always had. I will come back as I know this is not 'normal service' but, unfortunately, my friends will not be back. Not good first impressions for, what could have been, regular customers.

Staff were so helpful food was delicious. Enjoyed eating there looking forward to my next visit.

Ottima qualità e scelta nel menù,accoglienza in sala superba, raccomandato , primi piatti conditi e cotti alla perfezione. Unica pecca la pizza e pesante e non molto digeribile. Complimenti comunque

Would just like to say that the service, food and staff were absolutely brilliant, we stayed near here for a couple of days and decided to try this place for our last night out, would highly recommend. Great selection of food the seafood risotto was 100 %. Thankyou again

Food was fantastic and very welcoming staff, we loved it and look forward to going back

My wife and I had the pre-theatre menu and it is very good the quality and quantity was the best, The service was as usual good prompt and polite. I would find it hard to beat this place anywhere in Fife.

Excellent value for money lunch with quick service in a nice atmosphere. Definitely a return visit in the near future! TRY IT!

Had a meal here tonight with my family for the first timr and the service was amazing. The gentlemen serving us was funny and chatty. Will return again.

WOW!!! Don't take my word for it, this is a place not to be missed.

Absolutely amazing the food and staff defo go back

Very poor and underwhelming. Will not be back.

Best food in town Exelent and friendly staff

Generous portions and delish food

Ottima cucina e servizio ineccepibile

This is our local place to eat. One of the best places to eat in Kirkcaldy, there is such a huge variety and all freshly cooked and prepared. Would highly recommend!

Excellent. Fitted us in without booking. Food was delicious. Service fantastic.

Proper Italian. Great menu , well prepared food , attentive staff.

Out of this world , very friendly and welcoming and beautifully decorated

Authentic Italian restaurant, I know they don't come from Napoli but I felt I was back there once again! Food was good with a huge menu selection, you would really have to be the fussiest of eaters not to enjoy the variety of dishes there! Staff were good and appeared to care, not sure they all did but overall I have to say try Marino's in Sinclair St!

First time absolutely loved it falue for money x

Excellent value for money ,in a good atmosphere.

The best Italian restaurant in Fife. The decor isn't the best but clearly all profits are put back into the quality food and portions are amazing! Mussels and pasta cooked to perfection 🥰

Value for money and never had a bad experience yet.

Great place Great food friendly staff

Good service and value for the money, £14.99 for 3 course is good if on a budget.

it was really, good nice staff. I recommend it.

Everything was outstanding from food to service.
