ABOUT MARTINELLI
I have been living my passion as a host since 1998, born in Italy, raised and studied in Heidelberg.
With international professional experience in renowned hotels and cruise lines, I completed my Master of Bartender in 2015. Since then, I have dedicated myself to opening bars and developing creative bar concepts, especially in the hotel industry.
In 2018, I began participating as a judge at the London Spirit Competition, working alongside renowned restaurateurs, shop owners, hoteliers, and bartenders from some of the world’s most prestigious venues, including those ranked among the World’s 50 Best Bars.
My expertise expanded through my work in sales at Maison Ferrand Germany.
In 2021, I started developing my own product, the "Martinelli Bitter" based on Pinot Noir, refined with selected herbal extracts.
The **Bar Martinelli** in Heidelberg now marks the pinnacle of my career.
This project combines all my experience and passion and will create a unique experience for bar culture and enjoyment in Heidelberg.
SALUTE !
Host (Co Owner)
Hi, I’m Anna – a certified restaurant specialist with nearly 10 years of experience working at a renowned 5-star hotel in Heidelberg. I’ve had the pleasure of welcoming guests from all over the world, and I currently manage the guest area at the elegant Bar Martinelli, where I’m also responsible for recommending and crafting signature drinks.
My passion for hospitality is matched only by my love for fine cocktails. One of my all-time favorite places for inspiration is the BAR Employees Only in New York City – a true icon in the world of mixology.
If you ask me for a personal recommendation, I’ll always go with a classic: Vodka Ginger – refreshing, simple, and perfectly balanced.
Whether you're looking for a tailored drink experience or simply a warm welcome, you're in the right hands.
