Martorano’s Prime Celebrates Pittsburgh Restaurant Week – Aug. 10 to 16
Every summer, Restaurant Week puts Pittsburgh’s dining scene on full display, as participating restaurants roll out exclusive prix fixe menus and specialty offerings. With Martorano’s Prime once again joining the celebration, offering a three-course prix fixe menu for only $55.26 from Aug. 10 to 16, the excitement has officially reached the North Shore.
Diners visiting Martorano’s during Restaurant Week can look forward to house favorites like our house-made Fried Mozzarella as a starter, then dive into expertly prepared entrees, including Veal My Way — tenderloin medallions with prosciutto, spinach and Marsala sauce over homemade gnocchi. Always with a sweet ending, Martorano’s concludes with a selection of classic desserts such as Tiramisu or Peach Cobbler.
