Steve, the owner, is often present, enhancing the dining experience with his personal touch. Guests rave about the "amazing food," especially the veal chop and meatball salad.

If you’re looking for a fun atmosphere with music and high quality Italian food, this is the spot. One of our favorites. Meatball salad for appetizer and we got ravioli special and the bone-in veal special both were phenomenal. There is nowhere in the country like Cafe Martorano.

Second time dining here in a week! The place is amazing, food is out of this world! We sat at the bar this time, had a fantastic meal. I went with the special ravioli and meatballs, delicious. The service as always was above and beyond. Adam was the bomb and his lychee martini might be the best drink I’ve ever had!! I love this place, can’t wait to come back!!

Started at the bar and sat with and had drinks before dinner and those guys never skip a beat. Specialty cocktails are the way to go. Our server Kyle and his helper Adryel were both amazing very knowledgeable about the food and wine and made us feel special throughout the entire dinner. The food is second to none, appetizers: meatball salad, cheesesteak, Sicilian slice are all insane. Dinner we had lobster franchise veal chop parm and linguine yo cuz all absolutely delicious. Dessert the waffle with ice cream (thank me later).. And last but not least Steve spinning and the old school gangster movies just makes the night that much better. Can’t recommend this place enough
