                                                        The food and experience was outstanding. We had the fried mini meatballs which were off the charts delicious and pizza for an appetizer which also was fantastic. For our main dish I had the veal chop on the bone parmigiana which was tender and so tasty and my wife had spaghetti DOP which she loved. Dessert was the waffle with ice cream which complimented our evening perfectly. Another outstanding night at Martoranos. Thank you Steve and Merry Christmas

                                                        I’ve dined at the Ft Lauderdale location numerous times as well as Pittsburgh and Vegas and the experience always gets better. The service is outstanding and I can honestly say I’ve never had a bad meal at Martorano’s You owe it to yourself to pay one of the locations a visit. I plan on going to the new place in Philadelphia in the near future. Yo cuz thanks for another outstanding meal.
