Gnocchi were better than my homemade!! Super sweet lady and the interior is a well kept secret!! Thanks Maria!!!

After looking to try this restaurant for some time, I finally had the opportunity.
The atmosphere is modest and seating limited. I'd been concerned about not getting there early enough to get a table on the occasions of being in the area. Arriving at 5:30 on a Saturday, had no issue getting a table. Driving past, one may not be sure, from the outside, that they are open. Just try the door, it's worth it.
When it comes to Italian food I've a high bar which the meal met. Pasta fazool, lasagna, gnocchi and meatballs were all fantastic and authentic, in-house made. Provided a great value for cost.
Looking forward to returning.

Do not even waste your time trying this place. The place has a weird, old people - antique smell. The food tastes awful. The atmosphere is like you’re sitting in an old basement. It was very strange.

My wife and I have ordered food here quite a few times! All the food is great, service is great, the wait time for your food is normal for the quality of the food. It’s a very cozy atmosphere and a perfect place to have a small party. We are getting dinner there tonight!

The food is absolutely delicious. The sauce is the closest that I have found to my grandmothers. The portions are large. The service is a bit slow, but they make everything fresh as ordered. The salad and the bread is nothing that you cant buy in a store. The atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. Smells like an older grocery store. But the food is worth going there. Have plenty of time.

April 20242 seniors. Carry-out on a Sunday evening. We're very particular. We don't patronize chain restaurants. We look for places like Ala Maria's, home cooking, independently owned. Maria is in the kitchen, cooking. Literally. It was almost closing time on Sunday evening and the place was empty because Maria had been doing carry-out all day. She greeted us and told us what was still available. Most of her menu was sold out. My husband had spaghetti and meatballs and I ordered the veggie lasagna. Her tomato sauce is perfect. Not too thick, spiced just right. It "coated" the pasta perfectly. The meatballs were good if a little bland for our taste as we like garlic and lots of it. I loved the lasagna, lots of texture, and taste other than just the taste of pasta. The accompanying white Italian bread, and basic salad were fine but nothing special. No deserts as they were sold-out. We'll be back.

Astounding service from the waitress Amira, extremely kind and professional, followed by excellent and very authentic Italian food, Maria’s homemade sauce is one for the charts!, I definitely recommend you come here if you enjoy authentic Italian food! :)

The first time I ever ordered Lasagna at a restaurant and this was absolutely the best! A gem of a restaurant in Washington PA. The menu is minimal, which allows the chef to put their heart and soul in the homemade authentic Italian dishes. Eventing came out hot and the service was great! I will definitely be back anytime I make my way to Washington.
My wife and I got take out from here! The food was excellent and the service was the best! The price is incredibly cheap compared to other Italian restaurants. The portions were very big! We will definitely be Gonna back there very soon maybe even tonight or tomorrow! Places like this just don’t exist anymore where the chef comes out to greet you and learn your name!!!!

It's a small place but has fantastic food.Table seatting for 24 people plus another 8 seats at the bar.Ala Maria's at the end of Laymoine Ave. In Washington PA is where you'll find the best Italian food.
Vegetarian options: Vegetable lasagna, spaghetti
Parking: This place should be featured on Guy Fiettis dinners driveins and dives.Everything is homemade in-house ?The pasta, sauces, meatballs, and salad dressing, as well as the desserts, are all made by the owner, Marie.The only place that you might get a better Italian meal is Italy ??
Kid-friendliness: It's a nice family run restaurant any people from the neighborhood eat there and bring their kids.
