A: I had high expectations for Martorano's because my Italian friend was raving about it. Unfortunately I really wasn't impressed. We started with the Calamari in sweet chili sauce which I thought was horrible. It was a really easy way to ruin calamari. Two of my friends liked it, and one thought it was edible. I guess the deal with this restaurant is that Mr. Martorano knows Italian food and he makes it the way he likes it. I am NOT rushing to eat dinner at his house. It was a very Northern Italian style that was heavy on the meat. His famous meatballs are a mixture of veal, pork, and beef. I don't eat veal and I'm not really a pork eater so I was not interested there. The rest of the menu was really lacking. There was no gnocchi or risotto, only one fish option, and really no salad. I think if I want some spaghetti, I can make that at home (and better). So most of the entrees are around $20-$25. When the waiter said that there was a special of Chilean sea bass, I decided to go for it. It did come with some awesome spinach with huge chunks of garlic and the herb crust was good, but the sauce was drowning the fish. It was really heavy. Although it was my fault for not asking, I was REALLY surprised to see that the sea bass was $48. The service was seriously lacking as well. We told our server that we had show reservations and needed to be in and out quick, but he was really slow and often seemed confused about what was on the menu and maybe even just life in general. He also did a weird crumb relocation rather than cleaning before the main courses arrived. He started to scrape up the crumbs, but just left the piles he made on the table. He also started to tidy up a little spill, but half way through just left it. I've definitely had much better Italian food and would not rush back here anytime soon.

A: Overpriced food, that wasn't very good. The service was so-so. The really only redeeming quality about this place was the decor. Felt kind of like Pirates of the Caribbean meets Vegas.

A:
This place is excellent for lunch or take out dinner. The Pad thai is the best in Charlotte, the green curry dish is also excellent. If you like spicy food (really spicy), you need to try the Sum Tum Salad... it is made with green papaya, tomatoes and lettuce. It is fresh and flavorful. On a hot day, I can't think of something better.
