    Went to this restaurant for the first time the other day. Very friendly staff and outstanding dishes. Really exceptional. However, the music was so loud, I just wasn't comfortable. I get they want that night club experience but turning it down just a little wouldn't have made it any less energetic. You can't have a conversation during dinner because you can't hear. I would have enjoyed it more if it wasn't so loud. However, if that's your thing, the dishes were fabulous! The owners do a great job, the music is great to listen to. I'm glad I dined at this restaurant.

    Cafe Martorano was a great experience, good food, great music and lively ambience. It was everything I imagined and more. I’ll definitely come back as long as the disco hits keep playing and the food remains the same. Tony, Ottawa CANADA

    Look Steve has the best Italian restaurant in Florida period. He and his staff are amazing. I don’t mind paying for excellent quality. I do think the food deserves a better environment. Music gets too loud so go early. Otherwise you will experience some of the best food you’re ever going to eat anywhere. I’ve been coming here for 20 years whenever I get a chance.

    I have been here multiple times and this time I would say Horrible Horrible Horrible. Not worth the money or hype. All I can say too big too fast. When owner is there things are on points when he is not it's a disaster. Called to make sure he was going to be there was lied to just to come and find out not their. Rushed us thru dinner and veal shop had zero flavor. Will never return. Sorry to say this place has lost its lack of luster ever since Steve has opened his 2 other locations.
