As you step into De Martino, you’re not just entering a restaurant—you’re stepping into a world where the love for food and the joy of sharing it converge. And the best part? De Martino embraces the BYOB culture, inviting you to bring your favorite bottle to complement the feast before you. De Martino employs plenty of mixing options for your preferred alcohol. Try any of their four mimosa options, or opt for something a tad more adventurous like the sparkling cucumber daisy or the Mexican mojito, which combines muddled mint and lime with Mexican Coca-Cola—great on its own as a non-alcoholic option or mixed with your favorite bottle.
Chef Martino continues to find creative ways to improve the brunch menu. One crowd favorite is the tres leches French toast. Utilizing Chef Martino’s signature tres leches batter, he soaks brioche bread, making for a sweet and decadent French toast that people travel to try. It keeps the same theme as the classic version but is improved by a Latin touch.

What’s more, an eggs Benedict menu features four varieties of brunch staples. The “Jersey Benny” includes Taylor Ham, cheddar cheese, poached eggs and, of course, hollandaise sauce to blanket it all. Many opt for sandwiches when enjoying brunch, and Brunch By De Martino does not disappoint in this regard. A Mexican chicken milanesa torta or Cubano sandwich are both popular options, but we can’t get enough of the short rib grilled cheese—which includes four-hour braised short ribs, Swiss and gouda cheese, served with creamy tomato soup and fries on the side. It’s savory, filling and delicious.
