I was in town on business. I chose to stay at The Landing Hotel that is connected to the casino. The main reason I chose to stay here was because of the selection of restaurants in the casino and the area. It saved me the time of hunting down places to eat at during my stay in Pittsburgh. My first night in town I decided to have dinner at Martorano's. When I walked in, the manager, who was wearing a poorly fitted suit, was at the hostess desk. He asked me if I had a reservation I told him no, sorry I don't. I started to explain to him I just got into town but he cut me off. He went on to say okay I'll be right back but you can have a seat at the bar which is full service while he gets me a table. He never came back. I decided to wait for him because I actually hate having dinner at the bar. I don't like smelling that old alcohol smell while I'm eating. When I'm at restaurant, especially a higher end one like this place, I prefer a table. He left me standing there for close to ten minutes. The hostess came over and asked me if I was being helped. I said yes I think so, I think the manager was getting a table for me but he didn't come back to seat me. She went over to him standing at the bar, then came back and said he was busy and she was happy to seat me. I was sitting at the table within a matter or two minutes. The table was about five feet away from where the manager was still standing. It turned out he wasn't busy... he was busy BS'ing with the bartender who seemed to be very busy. My waiter, Robert, took my order. He knew the menu very well and made some excellent recommendations. I ordered a Caesar salad, lobster mac & cheese, and a very well prepared veal chop. Everything was very good. Nice sized portions. The chop was the highlight of the entire meal. Practically the entire time I was there manager stuck around the bar area except for one time when he seated a couple next to my table Overall my experience was great, except for how the manager handled my seating. Everyone else was great. My service rating is low because of that. It actually lowered the 5 star rating I was going to give my waiter and everyone else who came to my table. read more

I had been looking forward to this dinner for weeks, and sadly it just missed the mark. Positives: We had reservations on a Saturday night and were seated immediately. The servers were kind (we actually had two taking care of us), and we liked that they had an iPad with pictures of each of the night's specials. It was my friend's birthday, and they put a sparkler in her dessert and had some of the staff come sing. Also, the tiramisu was delicious. Negatives: While we had two servers at the beginning of the meal, I'm not sure what happened to them because service was not great. They never refilled our water, and our drink ticket got "lost" (the server did offer to comp these but we weren't really interested in another drink when we were already done with our meals). Of the four in our group, three of us had eaten maybe 1/3 of our entrees (plates mostly full still), and without asking, the server came through, took our plates, and stacked them on top of each other, before we even had a chance to ask for a box. I've actually never seen anything like it; we were all so shocked by that. Strangely enough, she ended up asking if we wanted boxes for our leftover desserts... at that point it wasn't worth bringing anything home, though the dessert was the highlight of the meal. read more

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. read more

Dinner was fantastic!!! We ordered a lobster dish, a filet with Marsala toppings and a fresh crabmeat appetizer that was delicious. Servers were extremely attentive. Definitely expensive but the meal was worth every penny read more

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. read more

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. read more

My husband and I visited this restaurant expecting a nice evening, but unfortunately our experience was disappointing from start to finish. When we arrived, we were asked if we had a reservation. I explained that when I called and checked the website, I was not told that reservations were required. We were directed to a table that was not clean, and when I asked for a different table, I was initially told no. Shortly afterward, another couple arrived and was seated at the very table I had requested. The food was also disappointing. I ordered the Oysters Rockefeller, and they were wet, soggy, and not enjoyable. My fried green tomatoes were burnt. My husband ordered catfish nuggets, cornbread, and macaroni and cheese. The fish arrived first, but the cornbread was not brought out until after he had finished eating, which is not how a meal should be served. What bothered me most was how the returned food was handled. After sending the oysters back, a staff member brought the dish back to our table and questioned me about why I did not like it. I found this inappropriate and uncomfortable. If a customer sends food back, the issue should be handled professionally without putting the customer on the spot. I also witnessed similar treatment toward another table. The situation eventually escalated to the point where we were told we did not have to pay for anything and should leave. While I appreciate not being charged, the overall experience left us feeling unwelcome and disrespected. Unfortunately, because of the service, food quality, and overall treatment, I would not return. read more

Do NOT, I repeat NOT waste your time here! I have eaten here several times including paying thousands for the private room. Came in for a nice dinner for two. From the moment it started until we left, it was a DISASTER and based on how the manager responded I will NEVER stepping back in there. Its clearly spiraled down hill on service, food and overall standards and it was half empty on a Saturday night. The manager's arrogance and hostility for their mistakes on service was just astounding. Oh and I couldn't get a bottle of Pellegrino because "the bar is backed up and we have to wait for the bar to key out Pellegrino"....my water glass sat empty until after first plate was dropped waiting on the bar for WATER! What absolute disaster this place has become in the last 8 months. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Place and food AMAZING! Fine dining correctly! Portions bigger than anticipated! Flavor and temperature spot on! Multiple servers at your beck and call, professionals!

The service was excellent, and the food you can tell was made in house. The bread provided before the meal was hot and delicious.

Didn't look at reviews before eating here. We were in Pittsburgh for Steelers game and staying at The Landing Hotel adjacent to the casino and ate at Martorano Saturday and Sunday night. I just looked at reviews and was surprised they weren't 4.5 plus. My experience was the food was excellent and the service was 5 star. Going back in Dec for game against the Bills and will be eating here to celebrate a friend's Bday dinner. read more

The ambiance looked very inviting but it didn't match the food. I ordered the shrimp Diablo with linguine. The sauce was delicious but some of the shrimp want not fully cooked. Disappointing. I told the waiter about the shrimp being undercooked and all he said was " oh sorry about " ummm no, that's not good enough... but I just let it go. Also, we were only served one piece of bread each... like come on!! I do not recommend my friends n family to dine here. read more

Way over priced! Smells like smoke in restaurant because of the casino being a smoking is ok environment. Blah! The steak sandwich was literally flavorless with no seasoning and was no better than a Charley's steakery sandwich. It had chopped steak on it with hardly any cheese, which they said they couldn't change. I didn't want crappy processed fake American cheese, I would have preferred cheddar but they said no. The salad dressing was pretty good and the salad was big. The risotto was also good. But everything was still over priced and mostly Al la cart. I wouldnt don't go back. read more

The service was extremely good. Food was serviced in a timely way! The food was delicious and potions were generous.

The food is delicious, and the service is outstanding!!!! The cheesesteak is the best that you will find in Pittsburgh. The wait staff is extremely tentative to your needs. And when DJ Cake is there..... what else can I say Tonja Smith read more

This is not terrible for a casino restaurant, but Steve will be pulling out of here soon, I am sure. The writing is on the wall. He never, ever speaks on this location or pushes it via his social media as he does the other locations. It's blatantly obvious. Perhaps he's just trying to get through with his contract with the casino. Went there on Friday as somewhat regular patrons. We were told when he visited in January, he did away with his happy hour menu. We always enjoyed a few items on that menu (cutlet sliders, pizza) in addition to our dinner. We were so surprised he did this. Very disappointing. No use in going back as they don't even offer the choice of getting our favorites on the regular menu. We always enjoyed our meal here, so it's sad to see this change. read more

I hate to give a bad score or review, but we did not have a good experience for our Valentine's Day dinner on Friday. It started out great with a reservation at the time we wanted and friendly hostesses. We got there 15 minutes early and we were seated. Our server was very thorough but almost talked for 5 whole minutes. We were brought bread, one piece each...no more, and it was good. My husband dipped the bread in the sauce, and he started coughing uncontrollably. The sauce was super spicy but we were not told. The calamari was very good...our favorite part of the meal. We sadly will eat almost anything but we both did not like or finish our dinners. My chicken Parmesan had no flavor at all and the gnocchis tasted like bad imitation Alfredo. My husband's also did not have much flavor and was very very Al dente...almost hard. We also had no drinks for almost 15 minutes. It was just very sad that we had been wanting to go here for almost a year and after $140 we had to get fries before we went home. read more

Went out for a socially distanced Valentine's Day socially-distanced dinner with my wife and our best friends. First the restaurant did very well ensuring people were complying with Covid related regulations. This included the staff and the guests. We shared our anti-pasta (appetizer) family style. We had prosciutto and had the Eggplant Stack. I could've eaten eggplant stack all by myself. It was delicious. The prosciutto was delicious. I had to 16 ounce New York Strip Martorano steak. It came with peppers and sharp Gouda shavings. The steak was tender and the peppers and cheese on top added a nice flavor. My wife had the lobster Francaise that she loved. Our friends both had two different steaks, one a filet and one a t-bone, and both loved them. We had risotto and truffle fries and sides that we shared. The risotto was creamy and the fries were flavorful. Because I was driving I didn't have a cocktail but the Darjeeling tea they served me was delicious. We also enjoyed the service from our servers Erin and Ryan. The had a DJ playing music that I'm is back to our HS days. The DJ's lights made it tough to get good pics of the food so sorry about that quality. We will definitely go back at some point. read more

I would probably never eat regular dinner here because it's very pricey. BUT, I stopped into the cool circular lighted bar after a show upstairs & snagged the last bar stool. They have a 9pm happy hour, but martinis are still $12! But, I had this absolutely delicious lemon water ice martini which was like a lemon drop with a ball of Italian ice in it, I had a second it was so good. Steaks are prime & run $75 & up. I had carbonara pasta which was divine. They bring it hot with the cracked egg on it & mix it with the cream & cheese right in front of you. Oh my! If you wanna splurge or your a big winner at the casino this is your place. read more

Average food at expensive prices. Arrogant attitudes and policies. Was not allowed to order appetizers to start. Had to give entree's at same time. Wed night, not busy...makes no sense. I was waiting on my daughter who was 20-mins away after long flight and wanted to have apps ready for when she arrived. No reason to return. read more

Visited on New Years Eve 12/31/24. An absolute waste of money. The service was lousy, we had a complaint and our server basically justified it but said she would mention it to a manager, but nobody addressed the issue. To begin, the special menu for the evening was nothing but overpriced smoke and mirrors. An app, an entree, a side and desert for $130 per person. We were told the sides were "shareable" however, they were barely enough for one. We each chose a different side for this reason. Exactly 8 pieces of asparagus and less than one cup of mashed potatoes. My biggest complaint was that we opted for the $10 upcharge for sinantra style, and got literally ONE medium shrimp on top the steak. We dine out frequently, we try new places constantly and this experience ranks among the worst. I would not recommend this restaurant and I certainly would not return. read more

Best Ribeye in PGH - I've tried them all in my relentless search for Pittsburghs best ribeye and Martoranos wins the award. Prime cuts and perfect preparations with a gorgeous crust and seasoning with that dollop of butter on top just makes it for me every time. The ambiance is unique and entertaining since this place is inside the casino and always has mafia movies playing on repeat with a killer sound system Service is pretty much always on point with their host and wait staff - bar tenders know the recipes very well. Never had a bad cocktail here Try the ribeye! read more

The menu is not large but there is a nice variety of items to choose from. The eggplant/cheese appetizer is out of this world. Can eat at the bar if you want something more casual but the service in the dining room is good, too. read more

Wish I could give zero stars. My Mother and I went there for dinner the Friday before Valentine's day. They advertised a dinner special available starting February 10th the 12 and 14th for two for 125.00. We were told it was an error and not available on the 10th. The sign outside also advertised the special started on the 10th. The money was not the issue it was the integrity that was being questioned. This special was advertised on line for over a month. Someone should have proof read the offer before it was posted. The manager gave us a free appetizer big deal. She should have honored the advertised special. I will never return because of the integrity issue. The service was very good but the way the manager handled everything was simply horrible. I would never return because of their false advertising. The manager should have honored what was advertised on their website. I was told the items advertised were not available at the time. They had ribeye and crab meat they could have substituted everything else. Someone needs to do a better job of prof reading before anything is posted on their website. I was happy that I was able to tell another couple that had planned on having dinner there. They decided not to eat there. read more

I've been following this opening since he announced it on Jimmy Kimmel! I've been a fan of Martoranos for about five years now. Having dined at the Lauderdale and Vegas locations several times, I was eager for the opening of Prime here in Pittsburgh. We dined last evening- their second night open for business. As expected, there were a couple of bumps in the road with the staff, but they were all courteous, professional and helpful, albeit a little nervous. The food and drinks!! A couple of manhattans, up were delicious and well crafted followed by some wine by the glass- nothing to write home about, but we also opted not to go for a bottle. We were offered warm bread with olive oil that was amazing. For appetizers we had (of course!) the meatball and salad as well as the homemade mozzarella. Very consistent with the standards of the other two restaurants. The meatball and salad may be the best thing I've eaten, anywhere. For entrees I had the chicken parm served with gnocchi in a cream sauce. Home run. My wife had the eggplant stack (appetizer on menu) which was also fantastic. For dessert we enjoyed tiramisu and a couple of espressos. The space is amazing... cool, well decorated and offers great views of the river. Can't wait to come back. Need to try the cheesesteak next! read more
