The restaurant is good, I would have given it 5 stars, but I asked for only a cappuccino. I was never asked if I was going to drink it there or to go. So, I got the tiniest $6.00 cappuccino ever in a Styrofoam cup.

The food was good but the service was terrible. I believe the owner is working hard as he was constantly running around the restaurant however he needs to take some time to train his young staff. They have few social skills and have no idea how to speak to a customer, carry plates or work as a team.Plus serving meals from a school cafeteria food trolley is just not in keeping with a restaurant that wants to be a classy place to eat.

Sorry to say four of sat down - 3 ordered the bean ink fish dish whick was pretty good - my husband asked to substitute the marscapone potatoes as they are extremely rich - waitress said “sure “ I ordered a Tito’s vodka on the rocks - some ice on the side - when the bill came the 3 bronzing fish dishes were $38 on the bill ra ther than the $34 that was advertised - my vodka was $16 and the substitution was $3 extra - when we reported this the the waitress - she seemed to ignore it saying it was her fault- the machine put it in- doesn’t she know the price of the specials in a restaurant - ok they fixed that - the. I said I have never had a $16 Tito’s vodka - they said they charged $4 for the ice - then we noticed they had a surcharge for pasta rather than mashed potatoes $3- by this time it didn’t mat5er what the food was even like - we knew they were not even apologetic for all the overcharges. - this can really ruin a restaurant and it did for us - in the end we fought for what was rightfully ours but left aggravated

It's happy hour at Martini's from 4pm - 6:30. Eggplant Rolintini, meatballs, cheese sticks, bruschetta, or wings and pizzas (4 different types). Bar menu has to be at the bar or ask for reservations outside to get the happy hour price. Had 3 bruschetta and a 4 cheese pizza, and 2 beers for $20. Great place to grab some good food and not spend a fortune!

Traveling from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando and decided we didn’t want fast food for dinner so we drove off the turnpike and found this place. We were seated soon but waited awhile until someone took our order. We split an order of calamari and the Frank Sinatra pizza. The calamari was so chewy and the tentacles we so bad and tough we spit them out. One good thing was the bread that was brought out with a great topping. The pizza looked so promising but was disappointing. We couldn’t find the toppings mentioned in the menu. The pizza wan’t the worst we have eaten but far from the best. We mentioned to our server about the calamari and he just stared back at us. If were residents of the area we wouldn’t eat there again.

Food Is absolutely above my expectations! Chris the server is absolutely phenomenal! He remembered our names our orders and had great jokes! He was fast and efficient! Food is always fresh and hot! However the manager Eric I believe ignored us every time we came. I feel because we are black he didn't want to serve us. The first time we came to eat we weren't greeted for 20mins. We had no menus silverware. I had to go inside to get menus. Chris ended up taking care of us! The manager asked every other table if they were OK except us. It was very offensive and I came there to spend money. We did not appreciate being treated like this and it happens every time we go. Chris definitely makes up for it but it still hits a nerve.

Outdoor seating which was pet friendly. Large enough area to walk dog in shopping center. Decently priced good food but server a bit forgetful..

I went to Martinis recently with my family for dinner. We ordered several dishes,including a pasta and shrimp dish, a lasagna with meatballs, and a zauppa de di psece.All of the dishes were excellent and flavorful. Service was excellent and was responsive. The restaurant was clean and airy, and outside seating was available. The price to value ratio here was slightly below average for this type of restaurant. All in all this was a very good experience and I will be returning in the near future.

Great atmosphere, great service and personality among the crew, fun atmosphere and the food is excellent!!! I'm from NY and have been spoiled by the quality of Italian food, but Martinis will not disappoint!! Love Pizza, look no further!! Always on point and never any leftovers. Recent trips included stuffed zucchini flowers and rice balls and an excellent Zuppa di pesce!!! I go three times a month and this place is like home!!

Ok food and nice atmosphere. We were a party of 6 and arrived at this restaurant at 7:30PM. While getting in the venue a young blond lady (hostess) approached us and asked if we had reservation, which we did. She rolled her eyes and said: well, we need to get your table ready. It felt like she was doing us a favor - - - unpleasant feeling. The food was a hit- or -miss sort of speak. My in-laws really enjoyed their seafood linguine and tilapia plates. My boys liked their pizza as well. But the baked noque was tasteless with a weird sauce and my chicken marsala lacked spices and more wine.., very bland. If I am in the area I can see myself coming back to this restaurant but just for the pizza!
Food is great. Everything I eaten there or have taken out has been delicious. Definitely recommend this place

I ordered a pizza to go and asked for the arugula on the side. I was told ok by the person who took my phone order. When I arrived to pick up and pay the arugula was on the hot pizza instead of on the side. The owner had an attitude and said that they won’t put it on the side. I paid and left. The way he spoke to me will keep me away! I was a regular but no need to support a nasty owner!

We've been on a losing streak in Boynton recently. Decided to give this place a shot for some good Italian food. We were off on the wrong foot from the start. We walk up to the hostess stand, no one there. We are passed by multiple people who just ignore us. We go inside, ignored. I go up to the counter and ask them if they are open. Finally we get sat at a table outside. Anyways they had some kind of event going on where half the restaurant was taken up by this event. Later people start arriving for yet another event (more on that later). So apparently they are big on events, unfortunately they are not staffed for events and a full dinning area. Service was none existent. Our server came out to see us after a while, luckily we were ready to order. We placed our order immediately for some bruschetta for appetizer, veal parm for me and my gf had some bolognese pasta. I had a beer which took a while to come out, mostly just bottled beers on the menu. I believe I was told there were only 2 on draft. Our server was nice enough, but that's pretty much the last time we saw her until we got the check. We never got the appetizer, instead it all came out together. The bruschetta was good. However we got 2 normal size bruschetta and one nugget. Like they just took the small left over crumb of bread and said screw it, good enough. My veal was fine. Not the best veal I've had, not bad. However everything had the same generic red sauce on it. My veal had the same sauce as my pasta which was the same as the "bolognese" sauce on my girlfriends pasta. Sorry, you can't just throw some meat in your standard "red sauce" and call it bolognese. Bolognese is bolognese and is a completely different sauce than everything else. Now I will say a LOT of place do that, but still doesn't make it right. Anyways her pasta was also rather mushy. She did not like it at all. No spoon for the pasta, no parmesan cheese of course no server to ask for any of these things. After we were done eating we got to sit around waiting for someone, anyone to come give us the check. While we waited we noticed more people coming for another event. They would stand around not knowing where to go since there's no hostess. Eventually they would go inside and ask someone. We noticed they were sent to the patio. So eventually I became the hostess and started letting people know they should go to the patio area. Hopefully my paycheck is in the mail. Anyways our server finally showed up and apologized for being MIA. Said she had to go deal with some stuff for the event. Again, if you don't have staff for events and dinning room then close one of them. We finally got our bill and it was not cheap. Definitely not priced like a place that throws meat in their red sauce and calls it bolognese. Anyways, we won't be back. I think we might be sticking to our tried a true places for a while.

This restaurant is poorly managed, has insufficient help, and offers horrible service. For some unexplained reason, they could only bring one menu to our party of four. They actually tried to bring our meals at intervals until I threatened to walk out. There was something missing or wrong with most dishes. Our cousins, and my wife said the food was ok. They served me an overcooked rack of lamb. The food was expensive too. Fortunately, the company was good, or it would have been a totally horrible experience. Highly NOT recommended.
