    We had a great dinner here. The steak was amazing and possibly one of the best I’ve ever had. Pasta was good and don’t miss the Arancini app - so so good!!

    Can’t go wrong with the Filet Mignon! It was cooked perfectly and I asked them to add blackened seasoning to my steak and it the perfect combination! This was our second time at this restaurant and definitely won’t be our last!

    My wife and I go to Martini at least once or twice a year. It’s always been one of our top favorite restaurant’s in Columbus. This recent visit has us feeling disappointed in the direction Martini’s is going. The first thing we noticed after we had been seated was the amount of time we waited for our server to greet us. It had been somewhere between 5-10min before she came. Not the worst thing ever. Just a strange experience compared to past visits when we’ve been greeted very quickly. Ambience at Martini’s is always great. The thing that REALLY stood out, no free bread service with the pesto and olive oil. This was a staple for us when we visited here. Conversations over bread and pesto was a great starter. Our server also never asked if we had dined there before and didn’t go over anything on the menu. Another odd experience. We didn’t know about any menu changes, recommendations. Nothing. Another ding for us portion size alongside an increase in price. I always get the chicken carbonara. Love it. Tastes great. Much smaller portion, higher price. Not a fan. I’m a guy who likes to get a cocktail and salad with my meal so I’m not being cheap here. You’re telling me we already spend north of $100 for a meal for two but now we have to pay for bread AND smaller portions? My wife loves the chocolate torte. Also happy the size it used to be. And she noticed it just didn’t taste as good as it used to. It just wasn’t the high bar standard of value and service we’ve been used to coming to Martini. We’ll be hesitant to frequent here if this trend continues. Not really sure what changed but it is a bit disappointing.
