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 ;)

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.

Food heaven. Made from scratch tastes sooo different from your packaged products. This was divine.Cosy and personal. Perfect.

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 !

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

I visited with my wife and some friends for dinner in August 2023, and the entire experience was excellent. We sat at a well sheltered out door table where the ambience was great. The service was first rate, as was the food, and both food and wine reasonably priced. Altogether we all really enjoyed the visit and will certainly return.

Our friends who are local residents took us to Martini. We very much enjoyed our evening. Lovely old building, friendly welcome from the owner and staff. We ordered veal for the first time in a long time, very well cooked, excellent presentation and service. A very pleasant fun evening and we will certainly dine here again

Lovely little restaurant, staff welcoming, atmosphere relaxed. Disappointed in the menu and lack of choice.

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.Vegetarian options: Limited and could be better.

Used to use Martini?s frequently but also for special occasions between 2000 and 2020 when we moved to the north east. Booked tonight as part of a trip down memory lane. I was a little surprised to get a table 3 days beforehand on a Friday evening!The service was amazing, although we were both hoping to see familiar faces, the food ( stuffed mushroom, mussels, lamb, veal and extra potato?s/ broccoli) was very underwhelming, far too much garlic and olive oil trying to hide the main event. Spoke to the new current owner who sounded passionate about the restaurant, food and ambiance. This is a gem waiting to shine again in my honest opinion. I really do hope Alexandro takes this on board, I know the vast majority of feedback is 5/5 but on this visit - sadly very sadly underwhelmed.

We came to Martinis for a wedding celebration . The venue was excellent private and very well set out especially good on a very sunny day . The food was very good especially the shared starters. The service was excellent not rushed and very pleasant staff . We had a great time

We recently had our wedding reception here in their wonderful courtyard garden. Alessandro and his team made it the most amazing experience. The atmosphere, service and food was incredible. Everything was relaxed. We couldn't have asked for more. I can not recommended enough for dinner or perfect for a party to celebrate something special. It was like we were on holiday. Thank you so much ???
