Local tips
- Book ahead for weekend evenings and summer nights, when the harbourfront location and terrace tables are in highest demand.
- Ask for a window or terrace table if views are a priority; arriving a little earlier than your reservation improves your chances.
- In cooler months, bring a warm layer for outdoor seating; blankets and heaters help, but the marina breeze can feel brisk.
- If you plan to drive, check current information on registration for the free guest parking linked to the restaurant.
- Allow extra time before or after your meal to stroll the marina promenades and enjoy the changing light over Aarhus Bay.

Discover more about Restaurant Martino
Harbourfront Dining at Marselisborg Marina
Restaurant Martino occupies a prime corner of Marselisborg Marina, with the water almost at its doorstep and masts and rigging framing the horizon. Inside, large windows wrap around the dining room so nearly every table has a view of the harbour, whether you are looking out over moored yachts or across the bay towards the skyline of Aarhus C. In fine weather, the terrace blurs the line between restaurant and boardwalk, with outdoor tables that catch the afternoon sun and the glow of long Nordic evenings. The setting feels both nautical and urban: close to the city centre yet surrounded by water, gulls and the soft clink of metal on masts. It is the kind of place where meals stretch out, helped along by the slow passing of boats and the gentle movement of the marina around you.Italian Comfort with a Coastal Twist
The kitchen leans into classic Italian comfort food while making the most of its seaside address. Menus typically feature thin‑crust pizzas from a stone oven, generous bowls of pasta, steaks and burgers, alongside a broad selection of fish and shellfish. Starters might include carpaccio, bruschetta or seafood plates, followed by mains such as mussels, grilled fish, prawn pastas or rich meat dishes. Portions are usually on the hearty side, with an emphasis on approachable flavours rather than experimental cuisine. A well‑stocked bar and wine list run from easy‑drinking Italian reds to crisp whites suited to seafood, plus cocktails and non‑alcoholic options. It works as comfortably for a simple pizza and a beer after a walk along the waterfront as it does for a more dressed‑up evening meal.Light‑Filled Interiors and a Signature Tree
Martino’s interior combines clean Scandinavian lines with warm Mediterranean touches. Pale woods, neutral tones and soft lighting keep the large space welcoming rather than formal. One of its most distinctive features is a large decorative tree set in the middle of the restaurant, bringing a playful, almost garden‑like focal point to the room and changing character as daylight gives way to candles and evening lighting. Seating ranges from smaller tables by the windows, ideal for couples or solo diners who want to linger over the views, to larger arrangements that can comfortably accommodate groups and families. The overall effect is casual but polished: linen and glassware on the tables, yet an easy dress code that reflects the marina’s relaxed, coastal mood.From Lazy Lunches to Late‑Night Suppers
Thanks to long opening hours, Restaurant Martino slides smoothly from midday lunches into late dinners. At lunchtime the terrace fills with people combining a meal with a stroll or bike ride along the waterfront, while the indoor spaces feel bright, airy and café‑like. As evening approaches, candles and softer lighting create a more intimate atmosphere without losing the bustle of a popular harbourfront restaurant. The kitchen typically serves throughout the afternoon and into the evening, making it a convenient option if you prefer to dine early, eat late or simply stretch out a meal with extra courses and drinks. On blustery days the glass‑walled interior offers a front‑row seat on changing skies and rougher water, turning the marina itself into part of the entertainment.A Social Anchor on the Aarhus Waterfront
Beyond the food and views, Martino functions as a social anchor on this stretch of the Aarhus coast. Locals use it as a meeting point before or after events nearby, while visitors often fold a meal here into a wider wander along the waterfront and through Marselisborg’s green spaces. The combination of indoor and outdoor seating, varied menu and spacious layout makes it suitable for mixed groups and different ages. It is equally plausible to see couples sharing a bottle of wine by the windows, families gathering around pizzas after a day out, and solo diners settled in with a harbour view and a plate of pasta. The easygoing yet polished feel, together with the singular position over the marina, makes Restaurant Martino one of the more atmospheric places in Aarhus to combine Italian‑leaning comfort food with a strong sense of place by the sea.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
