First Impressions

A proper Italian restaurant in Mayfair that has found the tone — warm, confident, worth the visit for the pasta alone.

Martino's is the Italian restaurant that earns its Mayfair address by doing what good Italian cooking requires without embellishing it: excellent pasta, well-sourced ingredients, a room that is warm without being loud, and a wine list that stays honest about the peninsula. The kind of dinner you want to repeat.

What We Loved

THE KITCHEN

Classical Italian — the pasta is the highlight, the secondi are correctly executed, the tiramisu arrives as it should. No surprises; that is entirely the point.

THE ROOM

A warm Italian room in Mayfair — the right proportions, the right noise level, the tables placed for actual conversation. A room that serves the evening rather than dominating it.

THE VIBE

Martino's is the reliable Italian at the right level for Mayfair. Go for the pasta, stay for the rest, and understand why the room fills every service.

Worth Knowing

  1. 01Reserve well in advance — this room fills weeks out, especially on weekends.
  2. 02Ask for a table in the main room and let the pasta and antipasti lead the order.
