My new favorite restaurant. Hits on every note. Food, wine, service, atmosphere all impeccable. The food is out of this world. The best dough/ pizza. A warm welcome feeling with incredible design. The menu feels truly curated and special. The best gelato. Honestly just everything is the best. There isn’t a single aspect of this restaurant that doesn’t over deliver.
A place where the passion and dedication is evident throughout your entire experience. Will definitely return to try more of the menu, but delighted in the taglioni limone and the grilled orata. Both were exceptional!
Delicious and fresh ingredients. The pizza is perfect. Save room for dessert- the gelato sundae with make your own toppings is worth it!
Simple flavors, big impact. From the aesthetics to the plates, this was the perfect example of less being more. I had the lamb - meltingly tender, fresh, flavourful - the lamb comes with a small serving of ascolana olives & sweet cremini... truly lovely pairing of exquisite flavors. Plus I had to order another side of gnocchi au ragout because one simply isn't enough. Delicate but hearty, 110% recommend.
Such a delicious meal, the decoration is so simple and elegant. We had pizza, lamb, coco rice, and frisee salad. High quality ingredients which i really appreciate. Our server was lovely very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu definitely coming back!
I had the pleasure of dining at La Martola last Thursday, and it was an unforgettable experience. The evening was made even more special by the addition of live music, which created a lively yet relaxing atmosphere that perfectly complemented the meal. The highlight of my visit was their Portonovo Pizza. It was absolutely divine—perfectly cooked with a crispy crust, fresh and flavorful toppings, and a delightful balance of textures and flavors. It’s easily one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. The service was prompt and professional, and the restaurant maintained a clean and inviting environment. The live music added a wonderful touch, making the evening feel both celebratory and relaxing without being overwhelming. The combination of excellent food, welcoming ambiance, and entertainment made for a truly memorable night. I highly recommend La Martola, whether you’re looking for a casual dinner or a special night out. I’ll definitely be returning—especially for another Portonovo Pizza!
If you’re wondering whether to check this place out — do it. I had zero expectations going in (honestly, we only went because I saw they had lemon pasta on the menu), but WOW. I ended up loving everything about it. The vibe was spot-on — that perfect mix of “nice night out” without feeling like you had to whisper or pretend you know more about wine than you actually do. And the food? So good. Like, actually delicious but somehow still super light? We tried a little bit of everything — the lemon pasta (duh), jamón & chips, pizza, lamb, panna cotta — and every single thing hit. Oh and we brought our kids. But even though it’s not exactly a “family restaurant,” the staff couldn’t have been sweeter. Made us feel totally welcome. Would 1000% go back!
Chef Stefano at La Martola is a culinary artist. As a New York girly with high pizza standards, I can confidently say—this is the best pizza I’ve ever had. The ingredients are fresh, straight from Naples, and you can truly taste the passion he pours into every bite. I literally dreamt of this pizza until I came back. Chef Stefano himself is warm, friendly, and incredibly generous—he even offered us to try the gluten-free pizza as well, which shockingly was even better than the regular one! From the ambiance to the music to the kind staff & attentive service, La Martola is the full package. Our waiter Mariano was excellent. Do yourself a favor and go. And if Chef Stefano’s in the kitchen—you’re in for an unforgettable experience.
