Lobster Mac
Alma M.

Had an early dinner at the bar on 4-22-26 during NFL Draft week. Our server, Diane was very personable and attentive. We had a Caesar salad, 16 oz ribeye steak and lobster mac & cheese. The salad was delicious with plenty of dressing and large croutons. The lobster Mac & cheese was not great, it lacked flavor and it barely had any lobster. We ordered our steak medium rare and it came out medium well. We sent the steak back and a new one came out about ten minutes later. The steak could have been better, it was not flavorful. Matthew from behind the bar took our drinks and mac & cheese off our bill which was appreciated. Probably won't eat here again and prefer Hyde Park Steakhouse.

Chicken parm.

The two of us were able to walk and be seated fairly easily on Thursday night. Service was excellent and we had a comfortable spot back by the kitchen. The drinks were good, especially the lavender limoncello. My wife had chicken Parm and gnocchi. The chicken Parm was excellent and quite large. The gnocchi was very heavy but in a good garlic cream sauce. I got the pasta special which was ravioli with bare ribs. The spare ribs were fatty as expected and oddly seasoned. Not as enjoyable as my wife's chicken Parm and I should have known better.

Had an impromptu dinner at Martorano's inside the casino. Service was great, but the food was just okay, nothing memorable. Especially at that price. The Caesar salad was way overdressed, and my steak was over-seasoned. Even without the toppings, it leaned too spicy for my taste.

Fried meatballs, meh.

Before ordering ANY pasta dish, be aware of the fact there is only ONE single way they cook their noods: rare al dente plus. This means that if you like to eat your pasta cooked and edible, don't waste your time. The server and manager explained to us that it is a strict kitchen rule that is enforced - no allowance to customize since they will only make it one way. The toppings, sauce and everything else was fine but what good would it be without eating the virtually uncooked pasta with it? Might as well not even include pasta in my opinon! What I did enjoy were a few times I did their happy hour (in the evening during the weekdays after 9pm) with their wings, garlic fries and cheesesteak.

Service was super fast tonight and there was a great vibe in the restaurant. Got the salmon special and the glaze was the perfect mix of sweet and tangy

Charcuterie, The big pepper is Hot ,Cheeses are perfect

I enjoyed my dinner at Martorano's Prime. My boyfriend and I went on a Wednesday evening at 5:00pm. We made a reservation and were seated immediately. We had quick service the whole dinner, but had four different waiters/waitresses serving us at one point and were asked the same question multiple times. This was confusing because we were not sure who to ask if we needed anything. The bread that is offered is fresh and warm. The two oils were both delicious when dipped in. For an appetizer, we ordered the calamari. It was warm and crispy when it arrived at our table and the balsamic glaze was delicious. The Chicken Cutlet was huge and super flavorful. The Bucatini Carbonara is delicious. The pasta is cooked to a "true al dente" and fairly firm, which I love! The Chocolate Cake for dessert was absolutely our favorite part of dinner. The chocolate is extremely rich and the cream cheese icing was amazing. The Yo Cuz white chocolate topper was a great addition. I would like to come back and try other dishes at Martorano's Prime.

Awesome food great service !!!!! Love it definitely will be back again!!!!! NY strip was amazing and delicious!!!!

Seafood special.  Crab stuffed flounder was just ok

Been here a few times. Steak so tender it cuts like butter, don't need a steak knife. Pricey at $74 for 8oz filet which is the smallest size available. I topped it with the chili butter. Absolutely delicious. #TateApproved

Ambiance!

Place and food AMAZING! Fine dining correctly! Portions bigger than anticipated! Flavor and temperature spot on! Multiple servers at your beck and call, professionals! It is in Rivers casino but quiet, soft lighting with the right kind of swooning music! 5 star so far! Has specials that are not on the menu. Plates for every desired taste!

Can someone under 21 have dinner there?

Hi Joe, thank you for reaching out to us. All guests in Martorano's Prime must be 21 years of age or older. Thank you.

This is a steakhouse right? Is there really only a ny strip on the menu? 1 steak at a steakhouse?

They mentioned that the menu would be expanding as the kitchen gets better training. It is limited now for sure.

It's a great pick for date night, drinks with friends, or showing off a one-of-a-kind spot to visitors. The drinks match the theme. The lead bartender, Arum, is incredibly talented and comes up with truly original cocktails that are creative, well balanced, and fun to try. There's always something new on the menu, so every visit feels fresh. Fantastic vibe, standout drinks, and a team that clearly cares about the craft. Highly recommend!

The staff they had at the convention were all super-cool people. They served great drinks. I haven't seen their drink menu, so I just said a few words about what I like, and they mixed up good stuff -- at reduced alcohol per my request. Perfect! Best of all, they had the acclaimed science fiction and fantasy author Mary Robinette Kowal as their special guest. (But she lives in North Carolina, so don't expect her as a regular in the Pittsburgh location.) Space Bar is obviously LGBT+ friendly, but it's an everyone bar. OK, maybe not everyone: it will be more fun if you're interested in science fiction and fantasy, and don't upset the vibe. I'll be sure to visit the in-person location next time I'm in Pittsburgh.

In addition to indoor seating on the first and second floor, they also have a fenced in patio outside for sitting. As we sat outside, we saw groups of people who could not figure out how to get into the speakeasy. Another thing that happened was that they closed early the night that I went because of the lack of customers. A group was trying to come in as we were leaving but we told them they were closing for the night. So be aware of that, if you're planning to go late night (past 11 pm). However, the drinks were amazing as always! They now added a couple of small bites so we tried the cucumbers. They were delicious and packed with flavor! Our drinks were great as always. They have even more options than the last time I was there which was nice! I still really enjoy this little space!

The atmosphere alone is worth a visit. The drinks are definitely crafted with care and have a lot of complexity, but with only two bartenders working, it took quite a while to get ours. Not the place to go if you want quick service or are grabbing a drink before another event. My biggest downside is the price point--most cocktails are around $17. They're good, but at that price I can really only justify having one. Note: They do not have food, just snacks like peanuts. Overall, amazing ambiance and well-made drinks, just expect slower service and a higher bill.

Beautiful decor, chandeliers hanging throughout the bar, fun art upstairs, it's a really nice vibe. We sat at the bar and decided to have a couple of drinks and some appetizers. First, I ordered the Bloody Mary. This MIGHT have been one of the best Bloody Marys I've had in my life. It had candied bacon, celery, pepperoncini, and bleu cheese stuffed olives, plus it was just the right amount of spicy. The perfect brunch cocktail. Next, we ordered the heirloom tomato flatbread, the cheese grits, and the deviled eggs. The flatbread was pretty good, though I found the tomatoes a bit mushy for my taste. The flavors were all there, but the texture of the tomatoes left me a little bit sad. The grits were tasty, a bit thick for me, but the addition of the honey drizzled on top gave the entire thing that sweet and salty deliciousness. It was very rich, but tasty. The deviled eggs were done very nicely. Personally, I think I make a better homemade one, but honestly, I can't resist a deviled egg and these were just fine. Overall, it was a decent little brunch / lunch moment during our trip that held us over until dinner.
