Martini Modern Italian is a downtown gem known for its "phenomenal" cuisine and "attentive" service. With a "diverse" menu and a chic atmosphere, it's perfect for special occasions. While some find it a bit noisy, the "outstanding" pasta dishes and "excellent" wine selection make it a top choice in Columbus.

    Very disappointed. Long time customer of more than 15 years. The renovation was dark and low energy. Liked it before. Now bread and dip is not free - very expensive. Now food quality worse- serving size much less - Big difference in chicken parmesan. Waiter not good - no attention once food served. AND many empty tables. On the way out the young lady was on her ipad - did not say thank you !! I walked out the door and in passing to her said "you are welcome". Cameron Mitchell I hope you read this - I am not coming back to Martinis. Overall your prices are going up and food quality going down. Better fix it - many new options in Columbus.

    Revamped menu. No bread service. Food arrived 30 minutes late. Taste was mediocre. Not the same experience we have had over the years.

    This was our first time dining at Martini's since their remodeling and revamping of their menu. The quality of the food remains excellent, and they retained several of the earlier menu items and tweaked several others. The wines available by the glass are excellent. This is a special occasion restaurant, well worth a visit. The changes in the decor are relatively subtle. The energy level is fairly high, reflecting the apparent enjoyment of the patrons. Service is attentive without being intrusive.
