Dive into a chic haven of modern Argentinian fare and inventive cocktails, where the vibrant setting is matched by exceptional dishes like empanadas and cacio e pepe ravioli.
"Chef Danny del Prado’s flagship restaurant Martina is well-designed (and well-lit), a dream of lighting and composition. Order the potato churros to start, which balance a soft, creamy interior with craggy, crispy fried edges. From the grill, try the pork chop with corn puree, or the parillada for two, made with bavette, sweetbreads, chorizo, and bone marrow." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff
"Chef Danny del Prado is one of the Twin Cities’ most celebrated chefs, and his Linden Hills restaurant Martina is an elegant platform for his Argentinian and Italian cuisine. (Sister restaurants include Rosalia, Colita, Josephina, and more.) The well-designed (and well-lit) dining room is a dream of lighting and composition. Order the potato churros to start, which balance a soft, creamy interior with craggy, crispy fried edges. From the grill, try the pork chop with corn puree, or the parillada for two, made with bavette, sweetbreads, chorizo, and bone marrow." - Eater Staff
"Linden Hills restaurant Martina offers a savory-leaning brunch menu with notable Argentinian influences: think empanadas; choripan with mozzarella and chimichurri; salsa verde-drizzled smoked salmon bagels; and bavette and eggs served with potato churros are a few highlights. Start brunch with a platter of oysters and end the meal with a chocolate croissant." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff
"At scene-y Martina in Linden Hills, pasta plays a starring role. During dinner service, the spaghetti fra daviolo makes an appearance on half the tables in the dining room, easily recognized by the massive chunks of lobster meat that top each plate. Like the spaghetti, every other pasta on the menu is the most intense version of itself: the cacio e pepe ravioli is near twilight-grey with cracked black pepper; the taglioni rich with truffle and parmesan; the potato gnocchi light and tender, topped with bitter leaves of fresh oregano." - Julie Yu
"Chef Daniel del Prado’s Linden Hills restaurant Martina fuses Argentinian and Italian influences, serving exceptional oysters, tuna tiradito, seared scallops, and mussels. The spaghetti fra diavolo with lobster is a highlight. Save room for caramel flan." - Eater Staff
