Mr. Martino's Trattoria

The Overview: Husband-and-wife owners Marc and Maria Farnese shun publicity, never advertise, and limit their hours of operation to dinner only, Friday through Sunday. This all heightens the air of exclusivity that surrounds Mr. Martino’s, which is actually a sweet, down-to-earth establishment that has been serving uncomplicated, modestly priced dishes for 12 years. Maria cooks, and Marc oversees the dining room, a lovely approximation of an antique Old World café. The charm of this space draws plenty of dating pairs, as well as customers nostalgic for roasted red peppers, sautéed broccoli rabe, baked ricotta with olives and sliced dry sausage, veal tortellini with gorgonzola-tomato sauce, or cavatelli with tomato pesto.
