Absolutely great! It’s a Italian inspired restaurant driven by a couple that are so welcoming and together with the rest of the staff they provide such great service. The food and wine were also mouth watering. The interior is so beautiful and it feels a bit rustic. Would definitely come here again!

Really nice, fine dining experience. Delicious wine, a varied assortment of bread, and fantastic deer steak. I will certainly plan to come back here when I return to Riga.

Probably one of the most tasty dishes I have had in Riga. Must try the homemade bread with truffle oil, it’s DELICIOUS! The service is good, too. The only downside is the portion could be bigger for its price in Riga.

Peaceful atmosphere, great food and friendly staff!! If You want a really silent experience, book for a wine room

Cozy family owned restaurant. Really good food and fantastic service. We had ravioli and beef. Both delicious. The pistachio desert was good but not the best one I have tasted. Definitely a place to go.

Great atmosphere! We were served by the owner. I really enjoyed the advice and kindness from the waiters. The food was great, but it did not surprise me. I really recommend this place if you are looking for A+ service. I recommend you to reserve a table in advance.

Lovely friendly service and cozy family atmo. Food above decent. You won't be disappointed for sure. Recommend:)

(Translated by Google) Excellent cuisine, pleasant owners who have been working in their own business for over 26 years! The food is beyond praise, the ravioli with truffle sauce were especially delicious, it was something! 10 points! I was very pleased with the wine list, many interesting wines not typical for Baltic restaurants - Italian, Sicilian! We definitely recommend visiting, keep in mind that tables on the street will be 100% occupied, it might be better to reserve in advance. For us, the kind owners, in 2 minutes they organized a table for 3 on the street, and we had a pleasant time and ate very tasty food! Will definitely come back! :-) (Original) Великолепная кухня, приятные хозяева, которые сами работают в своем бизнесе уже более 26 лет! Еда выше всяких похвал, особенно вкусными были равиоли с трюфельным соусом, это было нечто! 10 баллов! Очень порадовала винная карта, много интересных, нетипичных для прибалтийских ресторанов вин - итальянских, сицилийских! Однозначно рекомендуем к посещению, учтите, что столики на улице 100%будут заняты, возможно лучше зарезервировать заранее. Нам же любезные хозяева, за 2 минуты сорганизовали столик на 3-х на улице, и мы приятно провели время и очень вкусно поели! Обязательно вернемся! :-)

Very very good home style Italian. So far best in Riga

🇮🇹❤️ That feeling, when you enter and after the door closes - you suddenly happen to be somewhere in Italy. Nevertheless the menu selection is not so vasty, I would say is more than enough and satisfying all tastes. Without any exaggeration I had here one of the tastiest dishes in my life. Maybe because any tiny detail matters? Agree, might be the vintage tableware matters too. Those, they serve food, from the past, manufacturered in Latvia, those from the childhood, those that seem not existing already nowadays. What else to add? Wine! Here you can get one from Friuli in a glass, yet super rare opportunity in Riga. Not yet good enough? Taste gelato di pistacchio from Sicily here. Thank you for those tastiest experience to remember forever. 🤍

Wow! Highly recommend this place!!! It's a small family owned business and they're so welcoming and friendly making sure everything was good. Guys, get the bread bag and try their black truffle bread with butter. Absolutely amazing when warm! Promise you! We got the seafood platter, lamb and beef cheeks. Very surprised at how amazing it tastes. Seafood was so to the point! Cooked perfectly well. Flavourful prawns. Octopus not chewy at all. Lamb was so good and the beef cheeks were surprisingly delicious!! They do have a baby chair just to add. Did NOT disappoint! 10 stars and more. Love it.

The food was ok. The portion size was quite small, and considering the elevated price, not really worth it for me. However the service was great! Very attentive and professional.

The loveliest place on the outskirts of the touristic center of Riga. Service is top notch, extra fast and unbelievably friendly. Despite not having a free table for two, the staff didn't hesitate to sit us in the wine tasting room, which was more quiet and cozy. The atmosphere is a mix of a quiet Italian family place and a wine cellar. Food is prepared very fast, and the quality is unquestionably great. They also have table wine, which goes very well along with many dishes. Oh, and a 'cherry on top' was a Limoncello shot after the food, as the best Italian manners call! Thank you for a wonderful experience! A splendid venue for family or private dinners🤩

My favourite place in Riga. I've been visiting for 5+ years and there have been no disappointments whatsoever. Amazing food & wine, flawless service, and cosy atmosphere of a family restaurant.

We dropped by for lunch and have been delighted by the outstanding service and excellent food. Definitely the place to go in Riga. You won’t regret it. Highly recommended. Anytime.

Amazing food and amazing service! Definitely a place to go if you want to have a delicious meal in relaxed setting.

Perfect and very cosy family run place! Highly recommended👍🏻 service is friendly and food is excelent quality.

I went there last friday on a last minute reservation. Glad I went. The food was excellent and the service incredible. The restaurant provides a charming intimate atmosphere, that is both warm an inviting. The is not overpriced for the quality. The menu is small and authentic, and the wine selection is excellent. We will be returning.

Nice cozy restaurant, definitely try the seafood dishes, the food melts in your mouth! The portions could be bigger though.

Excellent food, ambience and hospitality- real Italian feel🇮🇹❤🇮🇹 Loved it!

I honestly was pleasantly surprised. Every item ordered was of excellent taste and quality. With the cosy athmosphere, there was still big sense of privacy. Super fresh oysters, could not stop eating them. Not sure how they do it, but please keep the good work. You can feel when you are enjoying this food, that the food was prepared with soul, this is rare

First dish the steak was undercooked. Cold mest in not hot enough pan = no good combo. Sent it back and got some delicious beef cheeks in red wine sauce. Lovely and affordable wine. Be vary though if you a tourist they'll charge you 4€ for water and 2€ for bread without asking. The Latvians next to us did not get this treatment. When questioned the waiter rudely said "well you ordered water didn't you?"

Friendly service, great food & lovely atmosphere.

The best family-run restaurant in town. A very pleasant and kind family, a husband and wife who work hand in hand to maintain the years of quality in their restaurant. Quite a simple menu, but very tasty! The wine list is excellent because these people are very interested in different wine cultures, producers and wine can also be bought to take away. I recommend it to everyone. Relatively small, but very cozy rooms, so it is recommended to reserve a table in advance. No matter how many times I've been there, there have never been any free tables. Go, go there!!!!!

The best meal we've had in a long time. The owners were really friendly and informative. There is an excellent selection of wine to choose from. Our main courses (Octopus and Veal) were perfect, and the lovely desserts topped off a great evening out. The restaurant is fairly small, so I recommend booking a table.

An amazing small and cosy restaurant! We had olives as a snack, osso busco for main dish, and for dessert - canollo and chocolate fondant. Everything was very tasty and we loved the whole ambience of this place. Special credits go to a gentleman (a waiter, but most likely an owner) who even assisted us getting our coats on and held the door when leaving. Best recommendations!

Small, cozy, Family style Italian restaurant. Tasty food, reasonable prices, kind personnel, good choice of wines.

This is the most delicious place in hole Riga, italian food best quality and with personal approach from owners of restaurant. I am here second time and i am so in love with this place!! Charming tables on terrace, tasty wine and marvelous atmosphere! I am forever your loyal client! Next visit after two days! ❤️

The staff was rude, there was no English menu, the service was not considerate at all, and they didn't return the change. When we politely inquired about the change, we were told that in a restaurant, if we say “thank you” to the waiter, it implies the change won't be returned, and it's all considered as tips. Basically they just told us off as if we were small girls. There are so many more welcoming places in Riga, so I’ll never visit Martinelli again.
