Reviews for Martello in Hamilton, ON
I would return for their big patio and nice atmosphere inside but the food and service were not great. The food was expensive... and not high quality. We ordered the $16 heirloom tomato salad and it was probably half a red tomato that tasted like it hadbeen stored in the fridge. The mussels were okay and the ravioli was good. Maybe our server was just having a bad day but sheseemed very annoyed with having to serve our table. Overall, I would not recommend eating here, but I would go back for a drinkon the patio and hope we get a different server. Read more
We went for Brunch and the food is good and staff there are nice. The breakfast pizza was not a traditional pizza, which was... made on order with eggs, potato, beacon. My 3 year old is not a fun of the pizza, however, the stuffed brioche was a hit (justdo not eat too much ;)) Read more
Beautiful, cozy space and great service. We came for brunch and wasn't disappointed. Loved all the dishes we ordered, decent... portions too. Pizza is a must-try!! Read more
Both times I’ve been to Martello have been great! The atmosphere is so relaxing, exactly the kind of thing I missed after... almost 2 years of not eating in restaurants! The menu is small and everything I’ve tried so far has been amazing! My husbandand I loved the artichokes. All the pastas are delicious and indulgent! We loved splitting everything we ordered so we could trymore things. I don’t really drink but the cocktail abs wine menu looked amazing and the cocktails I saw were so darn pretty Iwished I was more of a drinker to enjoy one! And of course the service, perfection! All the servers and hosts were so kind andcaring and really took great care of us. I’m excited to come back and try brunch next. Read more
Great experience from beginning to end. Food was top notch, service was great & the vibe inside the restaurant was nice (perfect... for date night or a nice dinner with friends). Can't wait to come back & sit out on the patio. Highly recommend Read more
Went to Martello for the second time yesterday, and really enjoyed the food. The first time I went was a month after opening... they were still figuring out the kinks like any business so I’m glad I gave it a second try! We ordered the suppli, artichoke,verde salad, funghi pizza, pappardelle and the cannoli! My favourite dishes were the verde salad, and pappardelle ragu. Thefried artichokes were unique - love seeing items on menus in Hamilton that you don’t see often. My fiancé tried 3-4 cocktailson the menu and loved them all. The one was considered a dessert cocktail it had Gorgonzola cheese - he loved that. Smelt funkyI would try in the future. We walked in on a Thursday evening around 6:00 didn’t need a reservation but it did get busier aswe were leaving so recommend calling ahead in case. Our server was great, recommended a lot of the dishes we ordered. The pizzahad a little bit of a burnt flour taste on the bottom but the flavours of the pizza itself was delicious. I think the oven maybejust needed to be brushed a little bit to clean off the older semolina flour on the bottom. We got the funghi pizza with fontinacheese and caramelized onion. The cannoli was different then what I’m used to - airy and fluffy filling it was good!Atmosphere is super funky, dark gloomy almost gothic finishes. Music playlist also resembles the aura. I haven’t had a chanceto check out their patio yet but looks super cool and very big will probably check it out when the weather is nice again???????????? Read more
Make this your first stop now that dining has opened up! They have an awesome patio out back complete with a CAMPER. A subtle... twist on pizza and pasta that makes this place unique. Creative cocktails and great service. Read more
Service was good! Portions were on the smaller side. We didn’t understand why the fried artichokes only came with half of them... fried. Food was good. Read more
