I love this sweet little Italian restaurant in Kingwood. I ate here in May and stopped in again today for carry-out, while visiting the area. I ordered the tuna hoagie and cannoli, both of which were fresh and delicious. The buffalo chicken pizza is to-die for. I noticed the dining area looked refreshed from when I visited in May. It is so cute, cozy, and charming. But the best part of both visits were the warm and friendly staff and fantastic service. Thank you!

Cafe Maria has always been a go to for our school to order pizzas because of their flexibility and willingness to open a little early since our school unit lunch starts at 10:30. Recently they also catered a special celebration for some of our staff members and the food was amazing...especially the tiramisu they included in our order. Thank you for always being so accommodating for us and supporting our school and your local community! ❤️
