    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.
