    Chicken parm.
    Kyle C.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

I've heard so many mixed things that I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed every aspect of my experience. It kind of has dive bar vibes but the food and drink options are definitely on the elevated side. They open at 4 on Sundays and I got there around 4:15. It was already pretty busy (and by the time I was leaving, every single table and bar stool were occupied). They have standard booth seats along the windows, hightop tables in the middle and bar seating along the bar that curves along the back of the restaurant. I chose to sit at the bar since I was by myself. I was promptly greeted by the bartender. They don't hand you copies of the menu, you have to scan the QR code to access. It is easy to read and follow with sections for drinks, specials (this time they were Wicked themed as a nod to the show at the Benedum) and a sushi section. I ordered the street corn dip. The chips were a bit overcooked and the dip was just OK. I thought it was pricey for what you got. The star of my meal, though, was the patty melt. It had the burger, a bacon jam, caramelized onions and was absolutely delicious! It was served with fries. I considered ordering sushi but wasn't sure what to expect. The patrons sitting on either side of my ordered rolls and they were a nice size and looked delicious, so that is something I would consider ordering in the future. It was a place I'll likely be back to because of the proximity to the theater (although their prices definitely reflect that). Just note how crowded it always is and give yourself plenty of time if you plan on heading here for dinner before the show.

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.

Super cool entrance and fun comfortable lounge upstairs. It's a fantastic place to go as an intimate group. But it's kind of small to take a group of more than 4 friends. Cocktails were made surprisingly quick even on a busy night. Everything is just really great about this place. Except for maybe the price lol but at least you're getting what you pay for in a good way

Thankfully nothing is overly gory or too creepy. To avoid a line, it is best to go right at opening or about an hour before it closes. There is a list of fun themed drinks served in quirky glasses that match the theme of the drink (a mummy, for example). I visited three times and tried a different drink each time. One thing is that they can (and often do) search your bag to make sure you don't steal the glassware. Sad that they need to so that, but I guess I understand why they need to check.
