Service was very slow. The food was excellent. But it took very long. It’s about an hour and 45 minutes just to get our meals. The lava cake was delicious. The chicken français was superb but a very small portion. Should a cappuccino was authentic. Everyone raved about the food. Shrimp scampi should include pasta. The waitress ran outside to us to get a tip meanwhile we gave her a huge tip.
We finally were able to go to Maria Restaurant for the very first time and we will DEFINITELY go back!! We were five; three of us had the Charred Octopus with beans and ohhh myyy freaking goodness, the Octopus was cooked to perfection. The beans were delicious too. And the three of us agreed. I don’t remember what the other two had but they loved their food as well. For dessert I had Pistachio Tartufo… ??? loved it! Can’t wait for for whatever reason to go back! The ambiance is also very nice and the staff super kind, attentive and friendly. It is located in New Rochelle but not in the super crowded and busy area. Parking was really easy. A big plus! Drinks were delicious too (don’t remember the name of mine, nor the ingredients but we all were happy with what we had chosen) It was, in a long time, the greatest meal I had dining out. Great quality! And I am saying this because after covid, food quality has gone down in so many places. Prices have gone up like everything else but I expect excellent quality for my money. Well done!
Excellent restaurant. Was super friendly on the phone taking a reservation. The food was delicious. Those ribs were insanely good. Highly recommend.
Where do I begin... The chef/owner Giovanni was so hospitable and accommodating with my gluten sensitivity, it was amazing. On top of that, my husband and I sat at the bar where we hung out with Eric, the bartender, who was awesome. Between the service, the food, the drinks, the conversation... We felt like we were in Nonna's kitchen. We will definitely be back. Can't wait until the next visit!
Went here for a lunch date with my husband. Everything we had was delicious! But what really made the experience great was the service we got from Eric! He was the best server we've had in awhile. Keep up the good work!
Great service too as well as great food
Five stars for outstanding service and delicious food. I ordered the meatballs for starters and it was above average. It was very filling, too. I ordered the veal steak and it was perfect. The steak was juicy and tasty. The rice was a marvel, too. Shout out to Erick who was a very gracious host.
