After battling a craving for a Steel City Sandwiches (similar to the Famous Primanti Bros) my sister told me about Martino's. She brought me take out from there (the steak sandwich) several months ago and it was incredible. While the bread isn't a sliced french bread like Primanti's it's still a great sandwich inspired by the original.
The pastrami is juicy and tender and smothered in provolone and the slaw is crisp and tangy. This sandwich is a monster and though I try my best, every time I'm left with half a sandwich and a mini mountain of fries. The fries are hand cut and fresh and the chips are house made both complimented with a sprinkling of Malt vinegar that resides on the table. We've also enjoyed the Caesar salad, appetizer sampler, chicken Marsala, Shrimp Scampi, pizza and spaghetti.
The restaurant is located in Afton Village towards the back and is tastefully decorated. The booths are comfortable and the tables covered with white butcher paper to doodle while you wait for your food. The wait would be the only thing preventing Martino's from receiving 5 stars. The several times we've been the service has been somewhat off. Avery got it right with nice friendly servers that just forget requests and are just not in a hurry. There is an unusually long wait for food if you don't order an app or salad to start with but when it finally comes its just delicious.
Hooray for Martino's! You deserve 5 stars and we'll keep going till you get it right!
