Great fresh Italian food with tasty cocktails. Waitress was awesome.

I ordered takeout tonight for the first time from Maola's. I got the calamari appetizer and the Garlic Roasted Brussel Sprouts pasta. When I arrived to pick up my order, the resturant was packed (always a good sign). My calamari was fresh and perfectly cooked. My pasta was amazing. The brussel sprouts were perfectly cooked as well, and the sauce was just right and not overly "heavy" for a cream sauce. I will definitely be back and there are other things I can't wait to try?

If I may say so, this is the best Italian place in town, I have tried to go once and brought my family here, everyone loved the food and the service, staff here is amazing and super nice, amazing food! I love to review, specially all moms and pops restaurants.we are the last one today and they want to go home but not for once they were rushing us. Keep up the good service and good food and can’t wait to try more dishes.

Great local pizza joint. First visit on recommendation of friends. Grandma’s Pie was excellent. Thin, firm crust, tangy tomato sauce, fresh mozz, decent amount of basil. Pasta fagioli was basic, white beans and pasta, nice broth. 2 of us split the pizza, and we each ordered soup. Soup bowls were very large, so we took home half of each. Also took home over half of the pizza. Server, Luis, was very nice and boxed up our leftovers for us. We were there about an hour, not too bad for 1 server and 2 (?) kitchen staff. We’ll be back ??

Our visit today was a nightmare. My wife brought her food from another restaurant because she didn't want Italian today. I ordered my food and we ordered drinks at Moalas. Rudely we were told that the "Owner" was not ok with us bringing my wife's food in to eat and we would have to leave with our "outside food". I can tell you that in this area customer service is vital to maintaining repeat customers. I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone and my family and friends will not return.

Delicious food!! Recommend this place!!

Quality Italian food, the portions are huge and you definitely get what you pay for! Would recommend

Ordered for first time tonight and was excited to try from all reviews. Placed order around 5:30 and was supposed to by ready at 6:05-6:20 so went up about 6 to pick up. Was told it would be couple more minutes, then it was 10 more minutes then another 10 minutes then a couple more minutes so got my pizza at 6:40 while my chicken parmigiana was sitting on shelf getting cold.Got home to eat and pizza crust was totally under cooked where there was still flour on bottom.I understand it is Friday night and were busy but if you missed my order just let me know. I would rather have a fully cooked pizza rather then under cooked pizza and cold chicken parmigiana.

Food was excellent and plentiful. You won't walk away hungry through any fault of the restaurant. Service was a bit slow and had to ask several times for bread that was supposed to come with the meal but didn't get to the table until we were almost done eating.

Good pastas and ice cold Red Oak Amber on tap.
