Marino Bistrot

I visited a friend in Poznań, and he asked what I was in the mood to eat. I said Mediterranean food, so we decided to try a place that was new for both of us, Marino Bistrot, an Italian restaurant run by Chef Livio Marino, who brought the success of his family’s culinary tradition from Italy to Poland. We didn’t have a reservation, but luck was on our side, and we got a small “romantic” table for two. The restaurant has received the Michelin plaque for both 2024 and 2025 ⭐️, and you can really feel why. The staff are professional and genuinely happy, which gives the whole place a warm and unique atmosphere. You can even meet the owner’s wife and the wife of his son working there; it truly feels like a family home. Chef Marino walks around the room, talks to guests, and personally grates Parmesan onto certain dishes. The food is delicious and authentically Italian 🍝. If you’re ever in Poznań, this is a place you must visit. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

We visited Marino Bistrot for a late lunch around 16:30 and were met with a truly unforgettable experience. The chef himself was outside when we arrived and gave us a warm, genuine welcome, such a personal touch that instantly set the tone. The dishes were exceptional. I had the spaghetti alla carbonara with guanciale and black truffle, with the chef personally grating the truffle over the plate at the table, an unforgettable moment, and the flavour was simply extraordinary. My wife enjoyed the grilled calamari with seasonal salad from the chef’s special menu, delicately cooked, perfectly tender, and full of freshness. Even the focaccia served at the start stood out, beautifully leavened and full of flavour. For a mid-afternoon meal, the quality and atmosphere were second to none. Marino Bistrot is a rare gem where passion, technique, and hospitality come together seamlessly. We will absolutely be returning, not just for the food, but to personally thank the chef who creates these masterpieces.

This was a fabulous experience. No matter the food, the service, the extra attention from the kitchen and chef … just perfection! I dropped a spoon, no waitress in sight, but they must have heard it from their service station and rushed immediately to replace my spoon. The chef came out to shave fresh truffles onto our pasta. We had a lovely conversation about different truffle varieties. He returned later to show us the white truffle in comparison to the black one. The waitress and service staff were the sweetest& friendliest, very professional & knowledgeable. It is refreshing to see people who apparently love their job and go the extra mile to make the customer feel special. We highly recommend visiting this restaurant.

I hasten to share my review of this place, which I visited for the first time today. At first glance, was a little surprised by the prices, I thought they would be lower :) The pricing is above average, count on it when you visit. But let's go in order. The service in the establishment is nice. In spite of the fact that the seating was almost full, two girls flitted like birds, managing to serve new tables and pay attention to those guests who have already enjoyed their meals. When they brought me my order (dorado and salad), I understood why it cost as much as it did. The fish was delicious! I have never had more delicious dorado in my life than here. Bravo for the chefs! My wife ordered calamari in a spicy sauce, but the sauce was not too spicy. I can't classify this as a minus, as the issue of spiciness of the dish is very specific and everyone has their own threshold (believe me, I worked as a chef for 5 years and know a bit about the cuisine). So, the calamari didn't seem spicy enough to us, but for someone it might be just right. Overall, we enjoyed our visit to the place. Every dish is worth its money. The wine was also excellent. The interior of the restaurant is great, there is something to consider while waiting for your order. Also the good quality of the utensils did not escape my eye, especially the cups that are on the coffee machine ;) Would I come back here again? Definitely yes, to try the other items on the menu. Would I recommend this place to visit? Definitely yes! Come, eat, enjoy and be sure to try the fish (it is simply divine!). Bravo to the entire establishment team!

In general food tasted very well. Focaccia was amazing, mules and gnocchi with Gorgonzola are incredible delicious. But my disappointment was pasta alla carbonara with truffle. I was waiting for truffle taste, but it was like nothing. I tried this piece of truffle and I did not feel the taste. The pasta was very greasy, with an unpleasant smoked taste. I know that carbonara is not about light dish but I could not eat it. Otherwise the food is very tasty.

An excellent dining experience in Poznań 🇮🇹🇵🇱 I’m currently in Poznań for business and decided to try Ristorante Marino Bistrot. It turned out to be a truly wonderful experience. The food was absolutely outstanding – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was excellent, but what really stood out was the warm welcome and professionalism of the owner. As an Italian, I immediately felt at home. The atmosphere was inviting, and the hospitality made the whole evening special. You can feel the passion behind every detail – from the dishes to the way guests are treated. If you’re in Poznań and appreciate high-quality seafood and authentic Italian hospitality, I definitely recommend this place. A beautiful evening – grazie Livio, alla prossima!

The best restaurant we dined at during our 6-week holiday in Poland. The food and service exceptional. There was a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with the chef and his wife visual and passionate about providing a wonderful dining experience. The staff lovely. We dined there 3 consecutive nights. Every dish was a gourmet delight; we were sorry our stay was so short as there were other menu choices we really wanted to try.

This has been an amazing experience. We’ve ordered the Coupin Savonese soup, Chitarra Nera della Riviera Ligure and Gamberoni alla Billy Bis. The food was delicious, so deep in taste and fresh at the same time. The service has been amazing, the waitresses know a lot about the food they serve. A big shoutout to THE CHEF! And mytujemy website - because otherwise I wouldn’t have found this amazing place.
