Why Martini Modern Italian Is Our Best Overall Pick
Martini Modern Italian sits at 445 North High Street, across from the Greater Columbus Convention Center at the south end of the Short North. Our listing has carried it for a wood-grilled prime ribeye served a la carte in an Italian dining room rather than a steakhouse. Because the restaurant's website would not load for us on October 30 or 31, we were unable to check the ribeye, its size, its price or current hours. Treat the details here as unconfirmed until the restaurant's own menu can be read again, and call ahead before planning a steak night around it.

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. Skip the walk-in gamble on Friday and Saturday after 7:00 p.m. Pair it with our best steaks in Columbus list if you are still comparing non-steakhouse cuts.
- Parking
- Valet on N. High Street at the entrance Tuesday to Saturday from 5:00 p.m. for $15; otherwise use nearby Short North garages.
- Reservations
