The story
In July 2023, after a decade at their previous location, Martino and Kathi Stirn moved martino.kitchen to Marktplatz 13 in Wiesbaden. The restaurant has quickly become a fixture in its new home, known for its sunny terrace, cozy winter garden, and a commitment to seasonal, regional cooking. The kitchen is led by Martino Stirn, whose long international experience in renowned houses shapes the restaurant's Mediterranean-inspired cuisine.
The team at martino.kitchen cooks exclusively with market-fresh ingredients, sourcing regionally wherever possible. This dedication to quality is not just a label—it requires personal relationships with local producers and suppliers. The result is a menu that changes with the seasons, offering both lunch and evening options. Lunch features a changing selection of antipasti, fresh pasta, and a catch of the day, while the evening menu expands to include risottos, soups like a Tuscan fish stew, and classic pasta dishes such as Spaghetti Carbonara with guanciale and Tagliatelle with Bolognese ragout. Kathi Stirn, an experienced sommelier, curates the wine list to perfectly complement the food.
martino.kitchen has been recognized by the Michelin Guide, a testament to the consistent quality and craftsmanship in the kitchen. Beyond the restaurant, the team also runs martino.catering, bringing their Italian and Mediterranean cuisine to events throughout the Rhein/Main area, from Frankfurt to Wiesbaden. Whether dining on the terrace or enjoying their catering service, guests experience the same dedication to fresh, honest cooking.
