Cafe Martorano Fort Lauderdale Reviews from The Last Year
please don't go overpriced and food is totally over rated
please don't go overpriced and food is totally over rated on top I was given 200.00 gift card which was paid for with cash for a future visit which was today and martoranos had the nerv to say my cash bought gift cards have an expiration date and were NO GOOD is this guy crazy over charges then wants me to pay double . dont go please
Excellent food and service. Ouch with the prices.
It is a cute place in a strip mall. The decor is a bit overdone and cheesy but it grew on me. The service was impeccable, very hands on and Johnny on the spot! The food was also wonderful, but I need to agree with many reviewers who say it is super pricey!
this place is just ridiculous.
the food is amazing , the service is amazing. the owner is nice. this place is a god sent. the food is so good i start to descend into heaven and God is asking me to bring him some food as well. it's very delightful
Been going to Martorano's since 2004 and it is still the
Been going to Martorano's since 2004 and it is still the best food on planet earth. That is coming from a consummate foodie and Brooklyn girl of 26 years. And aside from the food, Stevie is a great guy and deserves all of the accolades!
Don't Believe The Hype.
Only those that don't know better call this good food. The music etc is a nice touch. As far as rude staff, it's all a reflection on Managment. He not starving for business so it is what it is, but smart money stays away. Typical Brooklyn, Queens, NJ, Boston and Philly wanna be lady's and gents go to show how much more Giido that can be..
Comfort food & Disco.
Classic food. Large portions. DJ /Owner makes food and DJ's. You will be fed well! Menu has photos! waiters show you on ipads! Service is efficient and anticipates what you will need. They have a secret pizza they give you a slice if you are good. you can't order it. Everyone is friendly, wild, and fun. You can eat alot and not get sick. Food is real.
I've been coming here for so long and keep coming back
I've been coming here for so long and keep coming back because of how incredible the food is. Definitely get the meatball salad and eggplant stack to start because those are two of the best appetizers they have. I got the vodka rigatoni with sausage as a main and it was so good. The service is always great here. The ambiance is also fun but I will say it is very noisy and can be hectic so be prepared for loud music and a dark vibe.
Overpriced Menu and Ambience of a bar
A lot of hype and about this place. Could not wait to try it. Food is indeed excellent. My issue is the cost of the plates are ridiculous and way over priced. Many other high quality Italian restaurants provide same menu items at a much more reasonable price with the same same high quality of taste. $32 for grilled octopus, $48 for cavatelli with short rib and $48 for chicken cacciatore is crazy. Everything was very good, but my god, $48 for pasta and chicken. I wanted a glass of wine, but a glass of wine starts over $20 and can go up to $40 or more. Water will do, thank you. Ambience was not what I expected with TV's on the wall playing a movie. Am I at a fine dining restaurant or a bar? Not what I was expecting for a very high end restaurant. I don't mind spending money on a very good meal, but there comes a point where its just stupid. This was it. Go somewhere else and get a great meal where the same high quality dishes are $35 tops.

After reading many of the disappointing reviews, I actually
After reading many of the disappointing reviews, I actually wanted to cancel my reservation! However, when I was told that it was outside of the 24 hour 24 hours grace period, there would have been a $25 per person cancellation fee..so we decided to go. We were pleasantly surprised. The hostess and staff were all very nice and very attentive. I will say though when we ordered two Belvedere martinis we were hit with a $49 bill! Next time I will have a drink at home.. they honored our reservation and we were seated inside. I would probably agree that I would not want outside seating in a parking lot. it was not loud it was pleasant. There was music playing TVs were on and it was a fun place to be. We had the pork special which was delicious. I did not go with the meatball salad. Perhaps that will be for next time, I had spaghetti with clams, which was loaded w clams in the shell, my husband had, the carbonara both delicious we finished with two cappuccinos and a tiramisu. The table next to us was very nice as well, we had very nice conversation. We had a wonderful evening. We will return on our next trip from Philly.
We had a similar experience to many low ratings on this
We had a similar experience to many low ratings on this site. We are from out of town; our friends took us here based on the "celebrity chef" owner name. We know good food and good experience for what you pay for restaurants in this category. Several things stood out for us: 1. We walked in the door and we were told to wait to be seated until everyone arrived. Our friends were simply parking the car in the outside parking lot. They could have seated us, but refused. The attitude of the hostess was much to be desired. 2. We were seated by the kitchen door and bar. We asked for a better table, but they refused. So, the nicer tables were given to others because our friend was parking the car in the parking lot, which forced us to wait while others were seated. Honestly, I think the hostess just had a bad attitude 3. From the minute we sat down, we felt rushed. We were told we only had 90 minutes to finish our meal. The waiter very quickly went over the "specials" but didn't give us the prices. We asked him to give us prices, and, no wonder, their prices were outrageous, eg, the veal "Sinatra" dish special was $70?! Give me a break... 4. We ordered appetizers, and our friends received and ate their appetizers and we were still waiting for ours. By the time our appetizers arrived, they gave us the wrong dish! 5. We complained to the "hostess", and her attitude was "take it or leave it". We proceeded to talk to the owner, the "celebrity chef". He wore a diamond cross necklace, and when we tried to tell him about how terrible our experience had been, he basically said, "tough"! 6. We left the restaurant. We have never experienced anything like this before. It was a restaurant nightmare! Do not eat here! For what you will pay, you will be very disappointed! Plenty of Italian restaurants nearby. And, no wonder, this restaurant only gets a 3star rating..
I make an effort to get to eat here every time I'm down
I make an effort to get to eat here every time I'm down here in Florida. However, this trip I forgot to make a reservation. I needed one for Saturday night for my gf and I. I called and left a voicemail sat morning around 9am and they promptly got back to me within the hour, with a table at 815, prime time!!! As soon as you walk in, the ambience is buzzing, like always, music playing, tv on! Thank you all so much for getting my gf and I in for dinner. The food was tremendous as always, but the thing that really stands out to me, besides the food, is the absolute top notch service. I believe my waiter was Jose, he was so professional, knew the menu, it was a pleasure. See you again, soon.
BEST ITALIAN FOOD IN FLORIDA
Best Italian food in Florida hands down and the vibe is next level. The energy is so incredible and the staff and all who work there are the best. The best service the best vibe the best food. Can’t wait to go back!
An Experience to Try!
I was unsure of what to expect of the atmosphere and food based on Trip Advisor reviews. I was pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere is loud and energized…disco ball lights everywhere, TV’s showing movies, and music. As long as you expect this, you will have a good time. Be prepared to shout if you are with friends! The food was delicious. If you go, get the pizza app. The bread was crusty and cheese plentiful. We were a party of 5 and ate family style. Therefore, we tried many of the dishes. All were excellent. Make sure that you have a reservation…it was packed at 8:45 PM. We will definitely go back for the pizza specifically!
Don’t waste your time && money here
I was really looking forward to this restaurant. Once you get past the fake cheesy Italian accents it’s fairly cute inside. I ordered a fine bottle of wine and then was served. Totally stale bread. They boast on having truly authentic Italian food but then serve a salad drenched in thousand island dressing. :( When I received my eggplant stack, it was very dry. Tasty, but overdone and very dry. I asked the server If he could bring me a side of sauce to make it more palatable. He refused and said if he were to give or sell me a side of sauce, he would be fired. Wow ……. Seriously the food is over done and dry. The person I was dining with ordered veal Parmesan, and also felt that their meal was fairly dry. They asked for a side of sauce and the server refused and said no because they might give some of the sauce to me. It was just insane. They insisted it was company policy and they would be fired. We were blown away. The lack of customer service and inflated ego of this company’s policies are totally ridiculous. I literally just came home from two weeks in Italy. Eating the most fabulous food in Rome and all along the Amalfi coast. All of them put this establishment to shame and they put their patron’s customer satisfaction before ego. The ghetto NY ego here isn’t remotely Italian and totally lacks in quality of food & customer satisfaction Dont bother wasting your time and money here.
Fabulous find
Phenomenal spot! Fantastic ambiance and drinks. The food was sooooo yummy. Heads up they say you need a reservation about a month ahead. We showed up 10 mins after they opened and got lucky and got two seats at the bar. Fabulous service! Would return in a heartbeat!!!

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Any seller support?
Has anyone found a way to get a question answered? From what I can tell there is no way to get in touch with anyone that works at/for AT. Other than the occasional admin posting a consultation offer here and there they are non existent. A lot of people have the same issue I have where we cannot cash out earnings. I cannot get my warning medal removed even though I am under the threshold. Sad to say but seems like AT is holding up everyone’s funds currently. Very scary and makes me wonder….Please reply if you read this admins and can help. Tried every way possible to get in touch

I accepted a bid for a popular restaurant in Los Angeles only to receive a phone call shortly thereafter informing me that the reservation had been canceled due to it being listed on AT.

I've reached out to customer support about this several times with no response, not sure what to do in this station. Hoping someone can advise.

I have a prepaid reservation, but I'm allowed to transfer that reservation to others for a price that I set (up to the total price I paid).
For selling POSTPAID reservations, do I charge the buyer the full amount of the reservation when transferring? And then the buyer pays something on top of that (which is what is listed in the AppointmentTrader listing?)
Major Issue for Seller
My money is being held hostage! Can you please remove my refund medal as I am below the 11% threshold and should be able to withdraw my full daily amount now? I have been teying for a long time to get a reply on this. Major issue for people looking to do good/right like you ask and make positive sales. Being able to access earned revenue is critical and not getting any reply is very concerning for your sellers. Lot of other people having the same issue. Once below the threshold you should auto remove the warning medals.

Give the best answerWell through rate holding money for 180 days
Just wanted to put this out there as I find it quite weird. AT will hold money if your sell through rate is to low. I find this strange as you would think that sell through rate should reflect more on AT not marketing their site well enough to generate sales. It seems weird to punish sellers for listings not selling.

Banned from Resy for selling reservations- Do we have a rat on our hands???
I am new to this app and started off by selling a polo bar reservation and then quickly sold one more reservation.
