Our Menu: A Culinary Journey to Italy and Beyond
Our menu is a reflection of the diverse culinary traditions of Italy and the United States. From our famous family-style Italian entrees to our succulent ribs and steaks, fresh seafood, and homemade deep-fried chicken, there is something for everyone at Martino's. Our pasta dishes are made from scratch using only the freshest ingredients, and our pizza is a true Chicago classic. We offer thin crust, calzone, stuffed, and pan pizzas, all made with our signature homemade sauce and topped with your choice of the freshest meats, cheeses, and vegetables.
If you're in the mood for something light, we have a variety of soups, salads, and appetizers to choose from. And save room for dessert, because our homemade cannoli, tiramisu, and gelato are not to be missed.
Our History: A Rich Legacy of Family, Food, and Community
Martino's was founded in 1967 by the Martinelli family, who emigrated to the United States from a seaside province near Palermo, Italy. They brought with them their ancestral recipes for tantalizing homemade sauces, such as marinara and tomato-basil, which have become the foundation of our menu. Our dishes are inspired by the quaint towns of Sicily, and we take pride in creating a Martino's culture that unites family and friends over a great meal.
Our customers have been loyal to us for decades, from their first date in the 1960s to celebrating their grandchild's birthday in our dining room in 2022. We are proud to be a part of their lives and to welcome new customers with the same care and consistency that has made Martino's a beloved neighborhood tradition.
