I was just there yesterday & had a group of crazy misfits with me. Lindsey was just the best server—attentive & accommodating, and a great sense of humour to boot. Same group next week, same table with one more idiot, okay Lindsey? Xx
Best best best pizza EVER!! In fact, everything I have ever eaten here is SO good!!! Portions are huge and super tasty while cost is reasonable. Service is awesome too!! I highly recommend this gem of a place! LOVE Martinis!!!!
Martini’s Restaurant is a cozy restaurant with a bar. There is a small patio right off the street if you’d like to enjoy the sun and traffic watching. They have been around for a long while and still striving because they keep up with the beer trend while offering comparable pricing. The food is always amazing here too. Martini’s Restaurant is located on Broadway near Manitoba St. in Vancouver.
This is a long-standing joint located on Broadway, not far from the City Hall skytrain station with a pretty large menu of Italian/Greek/Mediterranean dishes and pizzas. I've visited the place once many years ago when I was still in highschool, and have been quite impressed by their food (they had pretty big servings and I actually wasn't able to finish the Veal Parmesan that I had ordered on that occasion). I decided to revisit this place recently. In spite of all the years that passed, the menu appears to have remained largely the same. In addition to their main menu, they do also have lunch specials. I got their Breaded Veal Cutlets from their lunch menu, and also their Chicken Tortellini Alfredo from their regular menu. The dishes were served with a side of daily soup and salad respectively; these dishes came out right away while the main dishes themselves took a bit longer (probably 20+ minutes) to arrive. The food was quite tasty: I particularly enjoyed their garlic bread and the veal cutlets came in a very generous portion for a price for less than $11. The server I had, while attentive, was not the friendliest. In spite of the shortcomings however, I did really enjoy, I did still really enjoy my visit to Martinis, and would highly recommend checking it out.
Chicken Tortellini Alfredo ($17):
3.5/5
This consisted of spinach & cheese tortellini with chicken breast and red peppers, and is served with salad and garlic bread. The chicken was pretty tender for white meat and well seasoned, while the tortellini was well-cooked, being tender while still retaining some chew. I did find it to be a bit bland however, and the sauce, while creamy, was also a bit underseasoned for my taste. The salad was quite fresh and contained pieces of pineapple. I absolutely loved their garlic bread: they give you a thick slide that's nicely toasted and crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside.
Lunch Breaded Veal Cutlets ($10.75):
3.5/5
This was served with your choice of fries or salad (I had fries), and a daily soup. The portion for this was very impressive for the price: they give you two generous slices of veal. The meat itself had a nice crispy coating, although I did find it to be a tad underseasoned and slightly chewy/grisly in some parts. The fries were hot, fresh and crispy. The soup I had was some kind of curry vegetable with rice.
Summary
Food: 3.5/5
Price: 4/5
Service: 3/5
Overall: 3.5/5
Recommendations: Lunch Breaded Veal Cutlets
I had a work gathering here. We ended up there for happy hour. Great prices on drinks and appies. We shared the pulled pork tacos, shrimp, cheese garlic bread, fresh made hummus and 2 different kinds of wings. They were all very good. I loved the wings. Friendly and helpful service. I will return.
This place has been around for years. Haven't made a visit in years and was around the area recently with friends and decided to stop by for light snack/early dinner. We made it for happy hour and they had some great deals on from 3-530. Wings for under $6, wine and beer for just under $4 etc. Still the busy place it used to be. Food was great and service was prompt. Had to get some take out as well and portions were generous. Forgot how great this place was!
Today was my first time at Martini's and I must say, I was quite impressed. I've walked past it countless times but figured it would be too expensive for me to consistently visit for lunch. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the beef dip lunch special which offered good quality beef on a fresh bun with a delicious soup and more fries than I could eat for under $13 including tax and a generous tip. The servers were very friendly and consistently checked up on me to ensure that I was happy with the meal. Food came quickly and I felt comfortable and cozy in the warm and casual, yet classy atmosphere. I can't speak for the dinner service but I am very happy with my lunch time experience and would definitely visit Martini's again
This place is very rustic and old, the location has been in the area for over 25 years. I used to work in the area at a brewery and Martinis is open late enough to have a drink after work. Everyone is very welcoming, from management to the regular. Highly recommended if you're a late night kind of person 🖒
Martini's is one of those places that is always there for you but you take for granted. Their cozy ambiance, their late night eats and their variety have saved me from resorting to overly-salty Asian AYCE spots. You can have anything from a souvlaki, spaghetti, pizza (whole wheat, btw) and their delivery is a must if you live around.
Would recommend ordering for home. Their delivery was extremely great and I had them on speed dial. Service in the store tends to be a little slow.
Small place, some tables can be hard to have a conversations if they are too close to others. Staff is very nice. The salmon dinner was fantastic and a great value. Heard the pizza is amazing but didn't get a chance to try it.
Great place for pasta and pizza. Very good value, large portions, and exceptional service. Best restaurant for delivery in Vancouver. I enjoy the customer experience and the food everytime I eat in, take out or get delivery.
Martinis has been a favorite of mine for along time. Great beer options & drink specials + extremely friendly service. One of Vancouver best kept secrets.
