“ Good food and great service. Our waitress was so patient and kind with our two and five year old. ”
“ Had a great dinner at Maria's earlier this month! Service is excellent and friendly. Food is delicious and quantities are substantial. We all had leftovers which is always nice. Prices aren't too crazy. Ambiance is nice. The only negative is the parking is ridiculously expensive at $14 per car and street parking is impossible to come by. That being said I'm sure I'll return! ”
“ The food is so tasty. I use to go here often but costs has limited me. The food is still good and continue to patronize this establishment. ”
“ I'm obsessed with Maria's chopped salad. I sometimes crave it and find myself here. I also love the old Italian vibe of the decor which reminds me of old hollywood. ”
“ The food was delicious and I will be back. The service by 1 female employee could use a little work due to not too courteous when speaking to about food options. The male employee was very friendly and polite when speaking to but I wish both interactions were the same. Now to the food, it was AMAZING!!! If you're in the area, I would suggest to come taste for yourself. You won't regret it at all. ”
“ Sorry Olive Garden, you won't ever see us again!! I've been to Maria's twice...once in Northridge and again in West LA. We finally visited our local spot here in Sherman Oaks!! Why did we wait so long?? lol. When we arrived, there was plenty of seating inside and out. We chose outside because it was a beautiful evening. Our server, wish I could remember his name...was very attentive! We ordered spaghetti with a huge meatball for our son, I got the calamari diavalo which was great with just the right amount of heat and the the hubby loves Italian sausage so he got a pasta dish with it. We were really satisfied! And loved that we had enough for leftovers the next day. We will definitely patronize again...soon! ”
“ Another lovely experience. Melanie was our server again and she's always very engaging and attentive. We absolutely love the bread. It's very flavorful and the perfect amount of crunch & doughy. He had the mushroom sausage risotto which he absolutely loved and I had the lightly breaded sesame chicken again with the side of grilled vegetables, which were lovely. Very good flavors going on. Always love to get a nice bottle of red. Very competitive prices and cozy atmosphere. See you soon! ”
“ All good on this trip ! My lasagna was ready at the time promised and tasted delicious - bravo ! ”
