Maria's Old Town 21 21 West Old Street, Petersburg, VA 23803

"This restaurant is a true gem in Petersburg. I ordered bacon scallops as appetizer and butternut squash ravioli as entree on their seasonal menu. 10 out of 10. I would definitely come back when I have the chance."

"If you're looking for authentic Italian food then look no further than the Historic part of Petersburg. Maria's Old Town 21 is simply perfect for any time of day. From the patio to the front door is charming and then when you enter, you will find a bar that will equal or better any in NYC or DC. Walk further in and you will feel like you have just walked in to an Italian Pizza. The food is wonderful, and the staff and owners are lovely. I have been back twice now and the hardest thing is deciding what to eat. The decor is second to none and the ambiance is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are eating alone or a large party, they are able to accommodate you. Parking is on the street, or there is parking behind or a close by parking lot. Do not hesitate to go here, you will not be disappointed. This is now one of my go to restaurants."

"Their bred is to die for! Love the bread and butter as well as the fish bowls which are worth every penny. My daughter loved the lasagna for her birthday and the gelato. Kids pizza is good portion size as well as the other kids meals. A bit pricy but worth it! Gave them two tried and wasn’t that bad however over priced a bit. I will return for their bread and fishbowls."

"Our group of 15 was the first for dinner that evening. After a round of drinks, we ordered as another larger party (40?) and smaller parties were seated. The food and service were excellent... right until our server (the only one?...how?) dedicated herself to the larger group. It was difficult to find anyone to refresh drinks or provide dessert. We waited 45 minutes for our checks and had to distribute them to ourselves. We found someone who could cash us out and rather than wait at the table, we stood in a line at the server's station. They were nice and we enjoyed our server but she was a one woman show with little support. We tipped HER and the person who helped in the end. To clarify, the problem was not the size of our group or any other. The problem was only one server. Waiting for ANYONE to visit our table for 45 mins to check on us is unacceptable."
