San Martino's Italian Restaurant

Harrogate's newest Italian restaurant, San Martino is a gem just yards away from the Exhibition Halls on Swan Road close to the Old Swan and Studley Hotels.

Opened in October 2005 the intimate and exclusive restaurant is owned and run by a father and son team from Lucca in Tuscany , with Mattias.

The stylish bar area is an ideal place to enjoy an aperitif and select wines to accompany your meal, and the restaurant itself is a warm and elegant space with leather chairs and the finest linens, cutlery and glassware has been designed with great attention to detail. The menu at San Martino hs a great choice of classic Italian favourites, all cooked using the freshest ingredients and to Martinucci family recipes.

The wide range of seafood, pasta and steak dishes is bound to appeal to most palates., but the restaurant's signature dish, invented by owner Costanzo Martinucci is the spaghetti San Martino cooked in a paper bag.

Created in 1971 at Costanzo's Chelsea restaurant of the same name, the now famous dish is a delicious combination of fine fresh made pasta, seafood and secret ingredients, all cooked – unusually – in a paper bag to seal in taste and cook the past to perfection.

A range of fantastic house wines all picked by the owner are great value, and the bar sells all the finest spirits and liquors such as Limoncello made by Martino's wife.

Quite simply one of the finest and most individual Italian restaurants in Yorkshire , San Martino will not disappoint any fan of fine service and authentic quality Italian cuisine.
