Martino’s Upstairs Reviews, Prices, Services, Photos

It was a great surprising place while looking around the Shakespeare theaters, the restaurant was just next to the theater. Seafood linguine was excellent with lots of seafood!

I understand, Ashland, Oregon doesn’t offer a wide range of dining options. If you’re hungry and prefer to avoid fast food, this place will suffice. However, if you’re planning a date or a family outing, keep your expectations low if you opt for this restaurant. Be prepared to be consistently ignored and brushed off, needing to wave your menu in the air repeatedly just to get attention—from ordering drinks to getting dessert and trying to pay the bill so you can leave.

To top it off, I was literally chased down the street by a waiter who ignored me the entire time, attempting to bring me back to settle my bill because he thought I hadn’t paid. A bartender came running after him with a handful of cash, only to discover that I had actually left a very generous tip despite the poor service, simply because that’s my approach.

Rich delicious food in a wonderful setting. The patio is beautiful, but if you prefer to sit inside, the atmosphere is great as well. Generous portions and we left fat and happy. The lasagna is spectacular as is the mac and cheese. Very impressed with the staff as well, our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and most importantly attentive.

Visiting out from California. Seeking some good food. Found Matino’s around the corner from the Shakespeare Festival campus.

The staff is very attentive, helpful and professional. The upstairs in the name is literally need to walk up the stairs, but next door is the street level restaurant location. Go up the stairs, enter into the door, the first thing you see is their full bar and their bar stools. They have inside seating as well as outside dining (roof dining).

The food review: the menu selection is unique. Their menu have the titles of each category in Italian from Appetizers, Soups, Salads, main dishes, desserts and of course a separate drink menu (Alcohol, spirits, ect.). I had the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken (the options are just pasta, or add Chicken or Prawn . There is spaghetti and Meatballs and Lasagna. The bread served as complimentary and you mix the olive oil with Balsamic Vinegar to dip in.

The red (out of Oregon) and the white wine (Italy) were a great pair between our dish selections. Had the Mud Pie and coffee for dessert. The coffee is a perfect match with the Mud Pie to top off the dinner experience.

I will have to give this a deserving 5 stars rating, aside the fact that this business DOESN’T HAVE a Military Discount. The wait staff did provide a SHAKESPEARE Discount and thanked me for my Service.

Amazing food and service. The upstairs is more suited for date night which is why we moved from the downstairs dining. Food was amazing and we for sure couldn’t eat it all. We will be returning for sure.
