Always a great place for dinner or a drink with a quick bite to eat at the bar. I'm from the same neighborhood as owner Steve Martorano back in south Philly and friends with 2 of his family members. Martoranos is the only place you will find authentic south Philly Italian cooking. The staff are all very welcoming and friendly with Jeff the general manager and Steve an Bethany the bartenders. My first night there I remember ordering nearly $200 worth of food and drinks for myself and sampling the menu. All of which exceeded my expectations. If you're arriving there just for only a quick bite at the bar a must have whether its your first visit as a tourist or a regular is the homemade meatballs. It's well worth it. The cannoli deserts are amazing, as well as the pasta, risotto, and most importantly the friendly attentive service and overall dining experience.
