Both pastas we're fresh and all dente. The Alfredo sauce was creamy but not too thick, the shrimps and mushrooms were cooked just right. Portion wise I want more of the Fettuccine Alfredo.

Everything was delicious. Chicken Marsala is a big portion with lots of fresh veggies and pasta of your choice, I got spaghetti and the Marsala sauce was everything! Hubby loved the Minestrone Soup Cup & Baked Meat Lasagna. Everything was hot and fresh, well packed with utensils & condiments!

This used to be one of our favorite places....the quality of the food has consistently declined from French fries that were so cooked they were inedible to a turkey sub with ONE piece of turkey meat! Management was unprofessional and offered to remake the meal after saying there was one piece of meat because of the bread it was made on! No thank you! A REFUND would have been more appropriate! Not sure what is going on but the quality and substance of the food is nothing like it was and certainly NOT worth 17.99 for a turkey sandwich with ONE piece of meat! Not to mention the management smirking responsibility! Eat elsewhere you will be much happier!

Delicious. The Chicken Parmigiana was still hot and the arrabbiata sauce is flavorful with a nice kick to it; I just wish they gave me more sauce, the pasta was quite dry. I love that you can customize the type of pasta, my favorite is angel hair so it was nice to be able to enjoy every aspect of the dish. The Caprese Salad was fresh and easily one of the best dishes I've gotten at Maria's, they give you the perfect amount of olive oil and balsamic to compliment the mozzarella and tomatoes but not too much to overwhelm the flavors. I also love how they chop up the basil, I definitely prefer that over whole basil leaves. The Calamari Fritti is great as well, it was crispy, tender, and flavorful; the marinara was easily the highlight. Lastly, the Nancy's Fancy Gelato (Pints), Roasted Banana Bourbon & Pecan Praline flavor, is absolutely to die for. It taste's exactly like banana bread and I love it; it's smooth and the perfect amount of sweetness, I highly recommend it.

Parpardelle & Sausage was absolutely delicious very spicy and tons of sauce
The Bruschetta was so fresh and full of flavor. The bread was so crispy and crunchy with herb baked in and the balsamic reduction was amazing making me wish I had ordered more
