Martino's - Standish

This place just opened! The crew is new and a bit inexperienced. They had more staff than customers as they were actively training noobs. Everyone was friendly and motivated. I will definitely be back! Food was excellent quality and well prepared. I had fresh haddock chips at $16 and my son had chicken parm at $12. The portions were large on both.

Satisfactorily average. I was craving a sea scallop dinner and, after seeing the sky-high prices for the various platters, we decided to share a seafood platter with fries. It took more than half an hour to receive our To Go order. When we got it home, the portion size was decent, but there were way more clams than anything else. Unfortunately, the food lacked flavor, which left me feeling disappointed. Given the price, we could have chosen a different place and enjoyed a better selection of seafood.

This restaurant deserves no more than 1 star. I ordered the linguini with clams, and there was nearly a cup of oil in my bowl. My wife got the clam cakes, which were frozen, and the fries were completely unseasoned. I wouldn't consider returning unless they completely revamp their menu and staff. Not a single person checked in on us to see how our meal was. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, even my worst enemy.

As for the food, I tried the fish sandwich with cheese, which is one of the more affordable options on the menu—I was trying to save a bit. It was decent. My partner ordered the pasta, which unfortunately did not taste great; it had a flavor reminiscent of store-bought sauce and was rather salty. Another friend opted for the lobster dinner and seemed to enjoy it; I suppose it’s hard to go wrong with lobster! Our last friend had the chicken parmesan and finished most of it without any complaints. However, the presentation of the dishes left something to be desired. Overall, if you're just passing through and want seafood, this restaurant is a good stop. But if you’re specifically after Italian cuisine, I would recommend looking elsewhere. It's a very casual place, so it may not be the best choice for a romantic date or to impress a guest. I might consider going back, though.
