Maurizio's On The Water is a charming restaurant located in Beechhurst, near Whitestone Plaza, with a lovely outdoor deck overlooking the water. The restaurant offers a variety of fresh and tasty dishes, including pizza, pasta, seafood, and more. The pizza is highly recommended and surprisingly excellent, while the fried calimari and salmon dishes receive special praise for their deliciousness and perfect preparation. The pasta options, such as penne alla vodka with chicken, rigatoni scampi with shrimp, and tagliatelle bolognese, are all served hot, fresh, and flavorful, with options to add proteins like sausage or chicken. The seafood dishes, including Seafood Fra Diavolo and Sauteed Broccoli Rabe, are also well-liked, with the broccoli being tasty despite minor seasoning comments.
The service is attentive and friendly, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a good experience, especially during outdoor dining. The bartenders are skilled, offering refreshing margaritas and impressive tricks, making drinks like the sour apple margarita and Bourbon Sidecar memorable. The indoor space is bright and welcoming, though the seating area can be a bit dull compared to the outdoor view. The restaurant’s desserts, including pistachio ice cream and Italian cheesecake, are delightful finisher options.
Overall, Maurizio's On The Water is considered a hidden gem with excellent food, friendly service, and a beautiful water view, especially enjoyed during outdoor dining in good weather. Visitors plan to return for more dishes and to experience the outdoor ambiance when the weather is warmer.
