Maria’s Restaurant

"This is easily the best Italian restaurant around, and they have an incredible gluten free pasta option too! My whole family absolutely loves Maria’s, the food, service, and atmosphere are always perfect. I grew up going to Maria’s with my family (so I’ve been visiting for 20+ years) and I’ve never had a bad experience. We love the puttanesca, baked stuffed haddock, and ravioli but everything on the menu is excellent. The waitstaff are always so kind and attentive and the chef does an absolutely fantastic job!!! If you’re looking for Italian in Portland this is absolutely the place to go, you won’t find anything else like it."

"Such a great experience with my family. We got 3 different dishes, antipasto, and coconut cake. We shared everything and loved them all. The special of the day was amazing. Probably the best Italian place left of the old Portland. Long live Maria’s. I’m grateful you’re here."

"Fabulous fun place superb service! Wonderful food and gluten free options see pic of Shrimp dinner. My mother and I eat here everytime we fly into Portland. Just a jewel!!!"

"Great Italian food, large portions. Exceptional service and great desserts too!"

"The service and food were excellent! My friend ordered the chicken parmigiana and I had the zuppa di pesce fra diavolo with linguini. It was AMAZING. Even the pasta was cooked to perfection. I skipped my salad and cocktail to save room for my meal and still barely made a dent. There were mussels, scallops, calamari, huge shrimp and a huge piece of haddock in a perfectly spiced fra diavolo. I had to order dessert to go! I got the triple layer coconut cream cake. I'm not a big coconut fan but it was delicious."
