Absolutely delicious! Great food, great service. A super cute hidden gem for a fancier meal or a special occasion. I love all of their pasta dishes and anything with burrata.

This charming Italian restaurant offers a delightful culinary journey that left me eager to return.From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting ambiance that set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The decor was elegant yet cozy, providing the perfect backdrop for indulging in the rich flavors of authentic Italian cuisine.Speaking of which, the food at Mariela Italian Cuisine was nothing short of exceptional. Each dish was expertly prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients, showcasing the chef's mastery of traditional Italian recipes. From the homemade pasta to the mouthwatering sauces, every bite was a symphony of flavors that delighted the palate.But what truly set Mariela Italian Cuisine apart was the impeccable service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my dining experience was nothing short of perfect. From friendly greetings to attentive recommendations, their hospitality was second to none.Overall, my experience at Mariela Italian Cuisine was nothing short of delightful. The combination of delicious food, cozy ambiance, and exceptional service left a lasting impression, and I can't wait to return for another memorable meal.

The restaurant feels intimate. The waitress was pleasant and the food came at an average rate. Brunch was until 4 PM on Saturday so I got the pancakes. The peaches were tasty. The pancakes were not buttery or sweet enough for me but my friend said Ricotta pancakes can be like that. This place seems good for a date/catching up with a friend.

I think they really trying hard... I kinda feel bad but it's the second time and... first time the wait was long but this time we have to leave after 45 minutes of waiting outside because there's no space, for the table we reserved for a birthday party... thankfully I found a restaurant nearby that save us the night!

What great service and fabulous food with generous servings. Great specials and appealing affordable wine list. Had a birthday dinner for four with perfect table up front. Cannot compliment the server enough -- she was attentive and provided great service with a very professional and pleasant attitude accommodating all our requests. The lasagna is my go to but my son loved his veal scaloppini too. Every- item was perfect. Thanks much Mariella!

I feel like that was the best steak I’ve ever had! It’s four days later and I’m still thinking about it! My fiancé had the Ravioli Burro and I had the Hanger steak. She was very pleased with her plate as well. The service was great and it wasn’t very loud there at all. Will be back again!I would have added a photo but the food didn’t even make it?

The table was ready at the time of my reservation. Even though it was the typical busy Saturday night the wait staff was very courteous and attentive. The food was delicious and was served in a timely matter. Great food and great service at a fair price. What more could you ask? Always awesome to find another go to place.

The space is small but cozy . The waiters are attentive. The food was excellent. I am definitely going back there .
My second time dining here and the food was delicious as always. I ordered the menu special gnocchi boar wagu this time. Definitely decent dish and fresh to order. The staff gave excellent service and was charismatic towards my group with the salmon dish return. The salmon was the least favorite but every other dished ordered below was delicious. We ended up ordering the the lobster ravioli. Mi piace.

Cozy, comfortable place to have a good Italian dinner and chat with good company. Good wine selection, yummy pasta (try the Mushroom and Truffle pasta), and --- important! --- very low volume, so you can have an actual conversation without yelling at other people's faces.

We returned for the homemade pasta with open kitchen, but service was inexperienced this time. It was a struggle for our server to make eye contact and the table to get his attention throughout the meal, despite the half-empty floor. At a point he looked at empty glasses and entree dishes, pushed to the side, and walked away to stand with his back to us in the kitchen. Scallops were a generous portion, but missing flavor. We had to flag down pepper and, eventually, the polite female server to order a second entree, bus the table, and we took the wine she offered. He made a huge lonely mound of cracked pepper on one corner of the food. By the time dessert menus arrived, we decided to go to Piccoli on the same block to end the meal. (Piccoli's also homemade pasta with a very experienced, warm floor staff.) While they are nice here, their service can be inconsistent.
