We really like Maria's Italian Kitchen and I think sitting outside was the reason for the slower service. And that's bc our regular waiter Alfredo wasn't there and he spoils us! A couple small issues with the sauces not being made the same as it was the last time we were there. And I was disappointed with the lasagna. We will return!! I highly recommend.

The pasta here tastes homemade and fresh every time. I ordered the lasagna and it came out bubbling hot with tons of cheese. The servers are attentive but not overbearing. The space feels cozy and welcoming. Great spot for comfort Italian food without the fancy price tag.

I've been to Maria's for about a year now. Have tried the Chicken/Shrimp Alfredo, Lasagna, Pizza, ricotta and spinach calzone and other dishes and always feel satisfied! Good quality food and exceptional service! Weekends may be a little busy in the evening but worth the wait! Recommend this restaurant
