The prices are out of this world. Beware they will charge you 50 dollars for 2 small meat balls. Unless your income is disposable and you like to throw your money away. Then this would be the place for you.

Went for the first time Mar 14,2024 and it was great...! Veryyyyyy Fast Paced,well explained menu,servers were great,drinks were great...the atmosphere was on fire and very busy, but was very smooth from the time we sat down to the time we left.Small place but just big enough to enjoy everything.You need at least 1-2 hrs to enjoy everthing from food to drinks.It was a different kind of style italian food for me but we loved it... we ate everything...,portions can be individually eaten or family style.They are big enough.Steve was even cooking which is great to see a chef that has a large following on social media and is involved with the cooking and logistics of his business...,which even makes it better.Alot of dedication goes into this restaurant... ,very family-friendly oriented or party oriented...,dress to casual dress...,everyone was treated the same.I arrived in sports attire shorts etc.with a baseball hat but at least removed it..lolWe can't wait to go back... soo much passion with the food... A+

The woman who answered the phone today, 3/14/2024 is so unprofessional. I tried to leave my name and number for the manager and the woman on the phone said to call back at 6 PM because she didn’t want to write my number down and it get lost. The personality of a cactus! She should not be answering any phone for any business!

Steve was there cooking and playing Sinatra from the kitchen. Staff was attentive but not pushy or chatty. Food was fantastic. I have been there decades ago and recently returned. Steve has not lost his touch. In fact, he's gotten better!

Been going to Martorano's since 2004 and it is still the best food on planet earth. That is coming from a consummate foodie and Brooklyn girl of 26 years. And aside from the food, Stevie is a great guy and deserves all of the accolades!

Don't Believe The Hype. Only those that don't know better call this good food. The music etc is a nice touch. As far as rude staff, it's all a reflection on Managment. He not starving for business so it is what it is, but smart money stays away. Typical Brooklyn, Queens, NJ, Boston and Philly wanna be lady's and gents go to show how much more Giido that can be..

Food is good but nothing spectacular and certainly way over priced. I think they have the nostalgia crowd who are willing to pay the prices but for me it's a one off too many other options. If the food matched the prices possibly we would return but it's consistent with every other review
The wait staff was knowledgeable and professional. The food was amazing! We went while on vacation but we are from Philly suburbs so we can't wait to go to the PA location!

Came here with my best friend for his birthday dinner. From the moment we set down, we felt welcomed and well taken care of. Our waitress and bartender, Rachel was very thorough in explaining the specials and she was consistently asking us if we needed anything or had questions. She was so pleasant and smiley, 10/10 for her! The food was impeccable, specifically recommend the Chicken Cutlet Park and the Spicy Vodka Rigatoni. Espresso Martinis with strawberry shortcake for birthday desert was the way to go. Thank you Martarnos for making it a great experience!

Went last night for Saturday wow was it LOUD but I guess that’s the scene outside reservation at 7:30 was lovely mid February and was nice because I was there with my parents and we could actually sit outside and here each other so I recommend outside for a quieter dinner and inside and after 8:30 for the party lol our food was very very good we had the short rib bolognese which was excellent the linguini and clams was delicious too as well as the chicken it wasn’t scarpiello but same idea was delicious , they didn’t rush us at all which was expected from prior reviews and was expected as we were an earlier reservation however we had desert lounged and enjoyed the dinner as well as the experience for when ur paying 80 dollars a plate is how it should be it was my birthday g and his support staff went out there way to make it special and he was an excellent server as well very attentive and everything was timed correctly , we didn’t receive our meals while eating the apps which was great , lovely birthday I waited a year cause I couldn’t get in last year within 2 months of my bday so worth the wait incredibly pricey but you kind of know the deal when you go , thanks Steve and crew also the cakes for desert were top tier !!!

I have been going periodically to this place for several years, I love 80s music and I enjoy dancing after dinner, but I have noticed that after Joe passed away, Mr. Martorano took control of the music and makes some very erratic changes to his music. mixes, it only gives you seconds to enjoy a good song, the change of rhythms is a bit chaotic, it doesn't allow you to enjoy the music. Otherwise I think it's a very cool place.
