Joe Italiano's Maplewood Mays Landing

Was not expecting it to be as good as it was. From the bread to the main top tier gem. I had the pork chop Italiano and lobster bites. 10/10. I was staying in town and this was as good as any place I've eaten in Philly or NYC. Also had the Italian Manhattan, perfectly balanced drink.

The food is subpar. The marinara sauce tastes like ketchup. The pasta was over cooked. The Chicken parmigiana was covered with that bad marinara sauce but no mozzarella (an important ingredient) I am Italian and cook my own food/sauce so I know how they are supposed to taste and be made. The service was alright.

Went there years ago Shrimp scampi was much better not as much flavor and got bigger quantity

Our waitstaff Ms. Deborah C, was one of the most friendly and welcoming. She was attentive to all our needs and made sure the food was served in a timely manner.
We ordered lobster Bisque soup, which was delicious and warm. The Salmon was excellent too.
Our sincere thanks to Deborah C, keep smiling. You are awesome.

I would never recommend this place for anyone who wants to bring a large party. My brother-in-law called earlier in the day to say he would bring in a party of 16 ppl. They said they didn't do reservation but would note it. His dad comes in before the time we said we would be there and puts in a name. They said an hour and thirty mins. He said okay understanding the restaurant was packed at 6 o'clock. We ended up waiting more than 2 hours going on 3 with no timing on when we would get seated. The kids were hungry and tired and it seemed like no one cared. We ordered drinks and even waited respectfully. But only got eye rolls and annoyance from the hostess. So we took all 16 people to olive garden and had a better atmosphere and were treated so much better. Then we were waiting at maplewood. They also tried to seat us on opposite sides of the restaurant which I thought was inappropriate and should have been said from the beginning and not after 2 1/2 hours. Will never go there again and the restaurant definitely lost money especially with the rude hostess.

Always has been my favorite restaurant. Last night while sitting at a table at the bar I witnessed the bartender dump the excess cheese from an individual container (including our left over cheese ) into a container of cheese. When asked if if they reuse the cheese from the tables for other diners she stated “ yes we do as long as it’s not dirty”. I will never eat at this Maplewood again!! This a violation of safety standards for restaurants….BEWARE!!!! What else is not up to code!!!!

Ordered take out. Got cousins. As always so good.
