Why Martini Modern Italian Is Our Best Overall Pick
We ordered the wood-grilled prime ribeye a la carte and let the Italian room carry the night. The cut stands without a heavy sauce program, service keeps pace with Convention Center energy, and the table still feels like a real night out in the Short North. It is the non-steakhouse steak we would book first for a date or visiting friend.
- Wood-grilled prime ribeye that stands alone
- Italian room, not a steakhouse costume
- Short North night we would book first
Know before you go
We book Martini Modern Italian when steak night needs a Short North table instead of a steakhouse costume. Order the wood-grilled prime ribeye a la carte and keep sides simple so the beef stays the point. Dinner for two with drinks usually lands in special-occasion range, so plan for a full Short North evening rather than a quick bite.
Hours run Sunday through Thursday 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Friday through Saturday until 10:00 p.m., with happy hour Monday through Friday 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Reservations are recommended, and parties of eight or more need a card on file.
