I had lunch with 3 friends today and it was wonderful. Food was delicious and our waiter Adam was exceptional. Loved the whole atmosphere as we were celebrating my recovery from breast cancer surgery.

This is the first time our food was not that good. It took 45 min to an hour to be served. Hot spot in the middle of my food and the rest was almost cold. We had a reservation and we were 10 minutes early. We were told we had to wait. Called us 45 minutes later. We just sat at the bar booth. 😕

OMG. Such a fantastic happenstance in Louisville! A lovely atmosphere in a great area. Sat ar the bar as a first timer and Jason guided me through an unforgettable experience of amazing flavors! The beef carpaccio was a melt-in-my-mouth delicious appetizer! But the entrée...I could survive off the doctored up version of Pasta Rosa! He catered to my ordering go-to's and it felt like visiting a psychic! Next time I am in Louisville, this will be a definite stopping place!

It had been years since I had eaten here. Our staff were friendly and on it when we asked for something. My husband enjoyed his salmon dish. However my lasagna was tepid and a bit dry. I was disappointed because I remembered it being so delicious. My house salad tasted as good as I remembered. I'll go back but I'm in no rush to get there. The patio suited our dinner date perfectly.

Martini is one of our go to restaurants.
It consistently has good service, food and atmosphere.
It has to be considering how long it has been there.

I recently had the chance to dine at Martini Italian Bistro, and overall, it was an excellent experience. The food was absolutely delicious and left a lasting impression. I ordered the chicken parmesan over fettuccine, and it was everything I hoped it would be. The chicken was perfectly breaded and fried to a golden crisp, topped with rich marinara and just the right amount of melted mozzarella and parmesan. Each bite had a great balance of crunch, sauce, and cheese. The pasta underneath was cooked to the perfect texture, coated lightly in sauce so it wasn’t overwhelming but still complemented the chicken beautifully. It was hearty, flavorful, and plated well, making it not only tasty but visually appealing, too.

The atmosphere at Martini Italian Bistro also added to the experience. It had that welcoming, warm Italian restaurant vibe where you can relax and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. The staff was friendly and attentive for the most part, which made the evening feel comfortable.

The only real downside was with my to-go order. It took over 30 minutes just for one order to be prepared, and while I was told I’d get a call when it was ready, that follow-up never happened. On top of that, the silverware was forgotten, which was a little frustrating since it was meant to be eaten outside the restaurant. These may seem like small things, but they stand out because everything else was so well executed.

All in all, I would definitely recommend Martini Italian Bistro for their food and atmosphere. If they tighten up their to-go service, it would be close to flawless. I’ll definitely be going back for another plate of their chicken parmesan.

We accidentally ordered an item with pieces of bacon in it, and because we are vegetarian, we had to refund it. They refused taking it back, even though we ensured it wasn't even touched. The representative was also rude for no clear reason. Would not recommend.

Very clean decor. Made reservations a few days ahead of time, but it appears the person making the reservation placed it on their calendar for a week later. Regardless, they say my wife and me right away. I ordered the minestrone soup and pasta bolanase. They forgot my soup and I reminded them. It arrived after the entree. The soup was outstanding and the pasta bolanase was very tasty. My wife ordered the chicken Marsala. She was not happy with the entire. She said the chicken lacked flavor. The dinner is a little pricey. So we will return some time in the future for a special dinner and my wife will try another entree.

The food was very good. I enjoyed a martini during happy hour & we stayed for Singo - which was incredibly fun! It's like bingo but with music...definitely recommend it, they play every Tuesday in the bar area at 6:30.

Had a lovely time at martini yesterday. Started at the bar for a Bellini martini, and it was delicious. Then I moved onto the patio with my guest for an early dinner. Our server Felicia provided excellent service, and the chicken piccata & zucchini fries did not disappoint. Would definitely recommend this place and ask for Felicia. ?
