    We had the MOST amazing Birthday Dinner! Our server was gracious and so helpful, the management team AND chef took time out of their night to ensure everyone was enjoying themselves. The food and drinks are always a 10/10. Thank you Martini Team for making our night feel so special!

    Best food we’ve had out in a long time! Leeann took great care of us, as we were celebrating my besties birthday. Nicest surprise of the night was Keith the manager , as we discovered we knew some people I used to work with. What a great night! Thanks to all!

    It was my first time in Columbus. My wife and her training partner are elite bodybuilders who had been to the Arnold a number of previous times. On those trips, they had celebrated at Martini Modern Italian on two prior occasions, both times with a tomahawk steak. So, I had been hearing about its glories for the better part of three years when I was able to finally go with them this February. Unfortunately, the menu had changed and it was not available. Actually, no bone-in options were available at all. Aside from that, I am used to some standard, but always amazing potato and spinach sides from places like Gallagher’s (NY), Gibson’s (Chicago) and Peter Lugers (Brooklyn). The offerings on this menu were different, which can sometimes be good from a variety perspective, but they just didn’t work for me. The ambiance was solid and the service was excellent so it would still be a recommend from me.

    We frequently dine here, however, the service tonight was rushed and our server gave us the bill when we still had full cocktails. Then the server came back and asked if I had the bill ready! Very disappointed!
