About
Martino’s Italian Cuisine & Pizzeria
Welcome to Martino’s Italian Cuisine & Pizzeria, a true treasure nestled in the heart of Chicago at 3431 W Peterson Ave. This charming family-owned restaurant has been delighting both locals and visitors alike with its authentic Italian flavors and warm hospitality.
As you step inside, you are greeted by the inviting aroma of traditional Italian dishes, lovingly prepared by a family that truly embodies the spirit of home cooking. The owner, a wonderfully engaging presence, ensures that every guest feels right at home, creating a cozy atmosphere that feels just like a visit to a beloved relative’s house.
Why Martino’s Stands Out:
- Authentic Italian Fare: From freshly baked clams to crispy fried calamari, every appetizer teases your taste buds. The famed fritto misto offers a delightful medley of flavors, making it perfect for sharing.
- Pasta Creations: Choose from a range of pasta dishes that feature rich, homemade sauces. Whether you're craving a comforting pasta with meat sauce or a zesty tomato cream sauce, each bite showcases the freshness of ingredients and the love that goes into every dish.
- Signature Ribs: Martino’s is known for its ribs, served alone or paired with fried shrimp or chicken for a hearty meal that feels like a warm hug. The flavors are deep and fulfilling, reminiscent of a family gathering around the dinner table.
The ambiance is enhanced by the nostalgic sounds of Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra filling the air, truly capturing that “old school” Italian vibe. It's easy to see why guests rave about their experiences here. As one regular customer, ChiGuy, enthusiastically notes, “The pizza is delicious and consistently great,” which aligns perfectly with Martino’s reputation for serving killer thin-crust pizza that’s a delight in every bite.
What’s more, the restaurant prides itself on impeccable cleanliness, adding another layer of comfort as you dine. It's the little things, like the spotless bathrooms and welcoming environment, that transform a meal into a cherished experience.
Martino’s Italian Cuisine & Pizzeria isn’t just a place to eat; it’s a community where flavorful dishes, warm smiles, and family traditions come together to create lasting memories. Whether you’re dining in, picking up, or enjoying a delivery, Martino's is sure to become a cherished favorite on your culinary journey in Chicago.
So why wait? Experience the authentic tastes of Italy at Martino’s and indulge in a meal that’s as heartfelt as it is delicious!

“ What a beautiful experience in this old style Italian Restaurant. We were greated by the owner, she also was our server since we were there in the middle of shifts change I guess she was the only ones in the restaurant, she was really kind and helpful a the end of our meal we also met the daughter and we discovered than that was a family business with one daughter in the kitchen one in the front and the Mom at the head of everything. What a nice family atmosphere in this place and what really surprised me was the incredible cleaning in all the restaurant. Everything was just clean at the perfection from the ceiling fan to the restroom and this is really hard to find in the restaurant. We were just visiting Chicago but I'm sure if we were locals we want dining there once a week at least. ”
