Maria Restaurant

I was at Maria's for a holiday lunch. They allowed us to choose where we wanted to sit as it was not busy when we got there. The food was served family style for a group of 6 with different dietary concerns (gluten, dairy, vegetarian). The staff was friendly and accommodating - even helping us with our white elephant exchange to preserve anonymity. Due to this lovely experience, I decided to cater Christmas dinner from them. I found it was better to call than email; they took my order over the phone after several attempts due to the holiday rush. They were able to accommodate a peanut and a gluten allergy and gave me half trays to accommodate storage even if I ordered full trays. They also added sausage to the broccoli rabe and pasta dish. All in all it was a delicious meal. They also gave us a loaf of bread. I would cater from them again in the future for sure.

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!
