This was our first visit to Marta, and we absolutely adored this charming little restaurant! Our server, Anthony, was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional. The food was outstanding, and we look forward to returning soon!
- Meatballs: 4/5 - Tuna Cannoli: 2/5 (fresh but each bite tasted the same, lacking depth of flavor) - Carbonara: 5/5 - Scallops: 4/5 - Bistecca: 3/5 (too greasy and seemed to be missing something) I would recommend updating the wine list, as many of the bottles offered are subpar and could easily be replaced with better options at the same price point. The service was average— our waiter was pleasant, but they forgot one of our orders. It’s also a bit frustrating when the table next to you receives much better service simply because they are friends with the waiter or staff. Overall, I’m on the fence about whether I would return.
Tuna cannoli is a food lover's dream! The octopus cacciatore brings fresh ocean flavors to the table, absolutely delightful! The truffle chicken is simply exquisite—chef's kiss! If you haven't tried the Dover sole yet, you're missing out! And the crab surprise in the carbonara? It blew my mind!
Service and food was excellent in every way. Such a warm and inviting spot.
Great small intimate restaurant with high class food. smaller portions but all was amazing. Great selection of cocktails. Server and service was great except we got our one main and then had to wait a while for the other. Other than that great dinner, will be back.
