Martinottis' is about family, tradition, and quality for over 23 years, serving and selecting the finest Italian products. In the fall of 1978 this family found a spot in downtown Portland to open their cafe. In December of 1978 they opened with some catering and a wine bar. Today the store has grown to have one of Portland's largest selections of hard to find wines from around the world, imported cheeses, fresh coffees, sliced meats, and Italian grocery items. The Martinotti family has roots that can be traced back to the Ligurian section of Italy. Frank and his parents, Armand and Dixie are partners of the Deli/Cafe.
