Trattoria Martone

Talk about a rare gem! The location is basically a hole in the wall among some other industrial buildings (Heretic Brewery is next door which is also worth checking out.) but the food is delicious and the service is fantastic. It’s about as ITALIAN as you can get. The cooks are speaking Italian with some other customers when we were there, which is something you’ll never see at The Olive Garden! Definitely would go there again and would strongly recommend. Very good food and very authentic!

If you want amazing Italian food…. This is the only place you will ever need to go! Absolutely the best, there is nothing I can say to adequately describe how flavorful and fresh the food is no matter what you order.

An Italian meal worth the money! From pasta (gnocchi with smoked mozzarella) to pepperoni pizza strait from the oven to table, and then on-site made dessert (we had the tiramisu) we were not disappointed! Food is clean and fresh. Bathrooms are clean. Staff is super friendly and attentive.

After a slow start, empty restaurant yet asked if we had a reservation, and not sure we would be seated, we received impeccable service, and even better food! Their gnocchi is the BEST I have EVER tasted! My husband tried them, and praised them, and he has had them in Italy. We will be back, and getting dressed up next time. We want to sit were we can see the chef do his awesomeness.

I don’t eat at any Italian places but here, and there’s a good reason for it. Fresh, flavorful food with a quaint and friendly atmosphere with attentive and welcoming staff. I haven’t found a pizza in CA until today that tastes like it does in actual Italy (I lived there for a few years). If you want to impress your friends and family, go here! I recommend booking in advance
