Maria's Ristorante & Pizzeria

We recently had the pleasure of working with Maria’s for our wedding, and we cannot recommend them highly enough! From our first consultation to the final bite, their professionalism and attention to detail were unparalleled.

The tasting was an incredible experience, showcasing their creativity and passion for food. They offered a diverse menu that perfectly accommodated all of our guests’ dietary. On the wedding day, the food was absolutely exquisite—each dish beautifully presented. Our guests are still raving about the beef tenderloin tips and vegetable garden risotto.

The staff was attentive, friendly, and efficient, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Ferdi and Marilyn went above and beyond to create a seamless experience, and their commitment to making our day special was evident.

If you're looking for a caterer who will elevate your event and leave a lasting impression, look no further than Maria’s. We are so grateful for their exceptional service and delicious food—it truly made our wedding unforgettable!

Normally we have a good meal here, but after an incorrect order and burnt food, we were very unhappy. We ordered lasagna and got something else.

The service was great. However the food was not great. Salad was wet. The crab cakes were burned on one side.

We happened upon Maria's while driving home from Chicago, and it had a lot of great reviews. Very clean exterior and classy interior. White tablecloths and very well lit. Our hostess was prompt and polite, and our waitress was attentive and answered our questions. The only issues we had were with a few dishes, and that really takes away from the positive aspects as the main reason to visit a restaurant is for the food. The concept of the fresh bread with olive oil and parm is ingrained in the dining experience, but tonight, the bread was a let down. Very hard and unpleasant. The side salad was served with a small amount of standing water in the bottom of the dish (not sure about you but that is quite unappealing). The firecracker shrimp were awesome. A little heavy of the sauce. But overall 7/10. The kids had the grilled cheese, and it was a huge hit. Cheesy and crispy make for a great sandwich. The lasagna was a solid 7.5/10, probably an 8 on a normal day. The Philly steak sandwich was visually very appealing, but the meat proved inedible. It slightly resembled shoe leather. Our waitress had them make a new sandwich, and the wife went with the chicken sandwich. It was much better.

Staff very professional and very nice. I'm a truck driver never ate there. I'm sure most of the food is pretty good. But I'm very disappointed got shrimp alfredo today. But it was either canned or the Cook doesn't know how to make alfredo. Regardless The taste completely like chicken base did not taste like Alfredo at all. I don't like knocking restaurants but the shrimp Alfredo was not good at all.

This is our first time visiting and I must say this is a lovely restaurant with tasty food! We ordered the bruschetta and angry mussels as an appetizer and eggplant parmigiana and linguine primavera for our entree plus the red and white sangria. Lindsay and Tina are so nice. We will definitely come back the next time we’re in Morris!
