Maria - New Rochelle

We went for our daughter’s graduation lunch and the reservations changed a few times. I know the restaurant is usually busy and thought we were going to walk into a snobby atmosphere, especially due to our multiple changes… I was so wrong!They were exceptionally accommodating, friendly and helpful! They didn’t make my teens feel like little kids and the service was impeccable. The food came out quickly and for the 7 people, including VERY picky teen girls, everyone was happy! We will all be going back!

Maria Restaurant is by far the best restaurant in New Rochelle. I hosted my rehearsal dinner at Maria and it was the best experience possible. All of my guests, including myself, loved their food as well as drinks. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and the owner Giovanni is a pleasure to work with. I could not recommend this restaurant more for a lunch or dinner out with friends and family, or for a private event. I have visited the restaurant numerous times and every experience was exceptional.

The food is good on most days but there could be significant improvement with consistency in the quality and quantity of the food. There are days that you will get a very decent healthy portion that is consistent with expectations and other days you are a little disappointed. Other than that, very good food.

Just a very special place that feels like home and family in every way! Visit often! Xoxo

Very nice little Italian restaurant with tasty, elevated food, good cocktails, and solid service.Highly recommend the smoked rosemary negroni for a cocktail. It’s very unique, not too sweet, and just very nice drink.I had the baked clams to start. A half dozen dressed nicely and buttery yummy.For a main course, I went with pasta and did the gnocchi with short rib ragu. I loved gnocchi’s texture and savory flavor. The short rib was tender and tasty, though the flavor of the ragu wasn’t quite to my taste (it was nicely done, just a bit sweeter than I prefer).All-in-all, this is a great place for some solid Italian.
