Aufieri&Martinez

Aufieri&Martinez is an Argentine steakhouse in North Naples built around a traditional charcoal and wood-fired grill. The kitchen doesn't cook with gas. Steaks are cooked over wood and charcoal in the asado tradition, where slow-burning embers give the meat its smokiness and texture. The Argentine beef comes naturally marbled, and the fat is left to render slowly over the fire.

Signature dishes include wood-fired short ribs with a deep crust, a New York steak prepared the traditional way, and provoleta, provolone melted over the fire until golden. There is an Italian side to the menu too, with spaghetti alla Bolognese in a slow-cooked meat sauce. It suits steak lovers curious about Argentine grilling and diners who want an unrushed meal.
