The story
Martino Kitchen anchors its Mediterranean fusion cuisine at the heart of Wiesbaden's Marktplatz, where owner-chef Martino Stirn applies years of international experience to a menu built on market freshness and seasonal rhythm. The restaurant relocated here in July 2024 after a decade at Webergasse, preserving the close ties with local producers that support its Guide MICHELIN 2026 recommendation and two-ladle Schlemmer Atlas rating. This hands-on procurement allows Martino to craft a surprise tasting menu that evolves daily, ensuring the kitchen reflects only what arrives at peak quality.
The menu balances Italian precision with global influences, offering dishes like Tagliatelle al tartufo nero featuring Piémont black truffle and Parmigiano Reggiano alongside Seeteufel served with white turnips and pea cream. Lighter options include a ceviche dressed with avocado and mango, finished with yuzu, while summer plates bring Branzino from the Mediterranean paired with saffron risotto and wild broccoli. Guests can also explore the changing lunch selection, which features Spaghetti Carbonara made with guanciale and bio egg yolks, or refreshing Melonen Gazpacho topped with smoked buffalo mozzarella.
Dining unfolds across a sunny outdoor terrace and a cozy winter garden, spaces designed to accommodate families and even well-behaved pets. Kathi Stirn serves as the resident sommelière, curating a wine cellar filled with distinctive selections that pair precisely with the kitchen's output. Her expertise extends beyond the bottle; she visits producers personally to ensure the wine list complements the same rigorous standards applied to the kitchen's fusion techniques. Whether enjoying the five-course surprise menu or a casual lunch, the atmosphere blends warmth with a focus on genuine hospitality.
