Our first visit (to celebrate our anniversary). What a little gem in the middle of Bedfordshire. We have recently returned from living in Spain for a few years, and this did not disappoint! A small taste of the Mediterranean. The outside Terrance open in the summer weather permitting, made the place, and of course the weather was beautiful as well. The food was fantastic. It is not cheap but it IS good, and you get what you pay for. We shall certainly return having now found it. Wonderful
I've got to say, Martini's really has impressed us over the last couple of visits. We attended their "Sardinia" evening, set menu for £19 and it was gorgeous.
Now they've opened the garden, we had lunch their on Sat. Again, the food was wonderful. Seeing them pick the produce direct from their garden and it being used for our lunch....well it doesn't get ant fresher than that, does it.
Really rate this place, great food, attentive staff - you can't beat that to be fair.
We could not fault our meal in any way, the whole experience was absolutely fantastic. I thoroughly recommend you try this restaurant, the staff were very attentive and the ambience was perfect. Thanks Brian and Julia
Never fails to disappoint, excellent food, attentive and friendly staff. Wonderful atmoshpere. We are regular diners here, the best place to eat in LB.
Just got back from having a lovely meal here. Great service, food was amazing and huge portions too. Highly recommend. :) x
Lovely restaurant with great food and attentive staff. Well worth a visit.
Fantastic restaurant I would highly recommend this to anybody. The food is beautiful the atmosphere is cosy and you feel very welcome and looked after by the staff. They show real knowledge and enthusiasm of the food they serve, this is really lovely to see. Five stars from me will be going again most definitely � x
My Favourite Restaurant .Lovely atmosphere you will not be disappointed with the food .My steak was cooked so well and everything about the place is to be admired .Love the refurb .Hats off to the lovely family business who work so hard to leave their customers lasting memories .Thank you for a lovely evening .x
I visit quite regularly with friends for lunch and occasionally for dinner. I have always enjoyed the experience of being greeted and served by friendly but not over attentive staff and the feeling that nothing is too much trouble to make sure that everything is to your liking. The freshly laundered tablecloths and napkins complete the welcome and the food in my experience has always been delicious. It is a shame that lovely little family businesses such as hi are overlooked by people rushing to the chain restaurants who are run purely for profit and don't care much about their clientele. Good luck Martini, I hope to come again soon.
lovely restaurant staff friendly and easy to talk too. food was excellent. first visit but won't be the last.
Cannot recommend enough! (Again)! Absolutely amazing meal, superb service!
Lovely Valentines meal , great food , great service , prefect as always .
Friendly , unobtrusive staff whom let you enjoy your meal but are on hand when you need them. The food is beautiful delicious and obliviously made with care and attention to detail in flavour and presentation. We loved our evening spent here and will definitely return
Absolutely love this place. Don't get to go as often as we'd like, but it's always wonderful when we do - great food, great service, lovely atmosphere.
Lovely Italian restaurant in Leighton Buzzard. Opted for the stuffed mushrooms and vegan lasagna. Both were ok but acknowledging other reviews just seemed a little dry and I need of flavour and/or seasoning. Fabulous vibe.
What a hidden gem.
The new decor is great. Such friendly service - I have been in the hospitality industry for almost thirty years and its such a joy to experience such great food and service.
Up a side road in Leighton Buzzard, and just across the road from a car park - so convenient and peaceful when you leave the restaurant.
This restaurant recently renamed definitely gets my vote !
Had a lovely meal at this wonderful cosy cottage feel Italian restaurant yesterday evening.
Great ambience (upstairs is lovely) and the food is delicious - catered for meat, vegetarian as well as vegan (vegan lasagne was delicious)! Order the tiramisu - just don't water the pot ;)
Just moved to Leighton Buzzard and booked The Cottage for my Girlfriend’s Birthday. Everything from the food to the service was amazing. The setting of a cosy English cottage with Italian food was the perfect combination. And a special shout out for singing Happy Birthday and putting a candle on top of my Girlfriend’s tiramisu, it’s the little things that go away a long way. Definitely coming back
Martini café (not the main restaurant) is a Great place to grab delicious Italian lunch, proper Italian taste and very good and rich ingredients, quality is as you will expect from proper Italian place. Few tables inside so eating inside is optional, it’s always busy so that’s also says a lot. Prices are very comparable and affordable.
Highly recommend to visit.
We had a lovely evening at Martini. It was our first time and eating alfresco felt like we were abroad somewhere! Food was fantastic, staff were friendly, we can’t wait to return, next time with our pasta loving little boy!
Authentic Italian food and it is some of the best food I have ever tasted. Lovely for a classy night out. The staff are very friendly and the owners are on the ball and remember the people that have been there really recommend this place.
Renovated, warm, welcoming place. Friendly and professional service. I ate wonderfully well. I highly recommend it.
The mushroom starter I had was a bit uninspired but the rest of the food was great. Service very attentive and the owner came out to have a chat, which was nice.
Great Italian place. Good food. Excellent service. Waiterresses do an exceptional job. Keep up the good work.
It's OK..
Food was OK but nothing I'd say was memorable good or bad.
Service was prompt and it is a well presented restaurant.
Authentic Italian food cooked to perfection! The owner is really nice and the garden is beautiful to eat in on a summer day.
I'm Italian, I'm based in London since 3 years now and this is the first italian restaurant where I feel like at home. The Parmigiana di Melanzane is marvellous! Cozze alla Marinara are superb! I was in Leighton Buzzard for work and I went there twice in a row. The quality of the ingredients and the passion/love for food tradition does the most. No need to say, they have a selection of the best italian wines... this restaurant is a precious pearl in town!
Bravi Ragazzi! I hope to see you soon!

Warm and friendly atmosphere, speedy well timed service, recommended wine and went through the menu with us. The food was superb felt like I was back in Italy. Very authentic. Good quality ingredients and all food arrived nice and hot. I won’t go anywhere else now.
We came here for a late Valentines dinner on Saturday and we had the best meal we've ever had in Leighton Buzzard. If it was warm and sunny outside, I would be fooled to think we were in Italy. The decor inside is gorgeous. Staff were very attentive and answered all questions. We had the bruschetta to start with the special of the mozzarella. These were super tasty. The mains were the white fish with garlic and prawns and a sausage tomato pasta - excellent. For two starters, two mains, two sides and a bottle of wine, it came to a very decent price of £80. Thank you for a lovely evening, we will be back!
Lovely evening with friends. Food was delicious. Not too big a menu that you dont know what to choose, but more than enough choice. Would definitely go back.
Nice decor, friendly staff and amazing cuisine. Highly recommended.
a bit more on the expensive side but the food is delicious! my wine came with lots of debris in it, but they changed it as soon as we let them know. good service and nice ambiance
