Ristorante Martinelli in Bogenhausen
There are many Italian restaurants in Munich, but in my opinion only a few that have consistently offered such high-quality and creative gourmet cuisine at such a high level for so many years as the one located in Bogenhausen. Ristorante Martinelli. Operated by the owner couple Elena and Luca – sommelier/service and chef – the exceptionally attractive creations, which are served in the form of regularly changing multi-course menus (from three to six courses with optional wine pairing), are not only full of know-how, product quality and variety, but above all love.
Ristorante Martinelli has been a fixture in Bogenhausen for over ten years and impresses not only with its excellent food but also with its warm hospitality, personal interaction at the table, and an atmosphere that makes you feel like you're dining in your own living room or garden. When the weather is fine, a cozy, verdant terrace awaits, evoking the feeling of "Little Italy." Elena is happy to advise you in detail on menu and wine selections beforehand and, together with her husband and head chef Luca, caters to your individual preferences, needs, and tastes. Few hosts possess such extensive wine expertise as Elena, so don't miss out on the wine pairing.
Elena and Luca – the owners and operators of Ristorante Martinelli
„We are passionate hosts and live for good wines and good food. The joy we find in our daily work is reflected in our cuisine. We do our work with love, expertise, and flair. Luca is a chef and composer of unique culinary harmonies,“ says Elena Martinelli about her eponymous restaurant. Luca describes his cuisine as follows: „From my home region of Apulia, I bring the authentic, wonderfully Mediterranean flavor to our kitchen. Having worked in many excellent restaurants and kitchens in Munich, I know exactly how to tantalize my guests' palates and surprise them time and again. My Italian creations are both traditional and innovative, as well as playful. One of the most rewarding moments for me is seeing our guests leave Ristorante Martinelli happy, full, and satisfied.“

Alternatively, you can order the menu without meat or fish and enjoy it vegetarian at Ristorante Martinelli.

My companion and I always start our "delicious evenings" with an aperitif. Here you'll find a delicious one. Aperitif with raspberry puree on Prosecco and ice cream with fresh raspberries Served. Before the first course arrives at your table, Elena or her service team will of course ask you if you have any dietary restrictions, because you should be able to fully enjoy your surprise menu. If not, they'll proceed with a Greetings from the kitchen in the form of a Cold minestrone with minestrone ice cream and Parmigiano crème brûlée, topped with raspberry and cherry balsamic vinegar Let's go! You can also buy the fine balsamic vinegar in a small bottle on site – a perfect gift for little gourmets. Then your surprise multi-course meal begins.
The first course is a Ceviche “Crudo del Giorno” from Tuna (This means “Raw of the Day” and changes depending on freshness/availability), on green olives, onion sorbet, purple sweet potato, passion fruit and cress. Gear number 2 was one of our favorites of the evening. Buttery-soft octopus on white bean puree and salad. Simply perfect in the combination of the different components and a course that tastes even better with wine (see below).
Absolutely delicious and part of the priceless.com surprise menu: octopus on bean puree.
After a short break – you can set the pace yourself – the third gear. Every pasta and Bolognese fan can rejoice; you won't find a better combination of "pasta and meat" anytime soon. At Martinelli, this comes in the form of... Pappardelle with Iberico pork and Wagyu beef, nestled on a fluffy, airy Parmesan foam.
At the Main course, aka fourth course, You can look forward to freshly caught fish, which is why the selection of fish changes regularly. Only the best quality ends up on your plate. We received Monkfish wrapped in a potato crust on a bed of zucchini. Absolutely delicious and something to look forward to. Fish is Lucas's passion!
At the Dessert (5th course) We took our time to really savor the sweet finale. That made the first bite, or rather spoonful, all the more exciting. grilled pineapple with yogurt-olive oil ice cream and white chocolate praline with extra virgin olive oil and meringue tuile.Simply heavenly, and in my opinion, each one individually is reason enough for a Mastercard. 😉
The following wines These were served with each course. Elena is happy to advise you and discuss your personal preferences. However, I recommend letting her guide you through the evening when it comes to wine. Again, Elena has excellent wine expertise, and it's well worth letting her lead the way.
