Maurizio's Trattoria Italiana

"I am literally writing this at the table while I sit at the restaurant because it was so perfect!Came here with a large group for a 21st birthday and Maurizio himself welcomed our party. We couldn’t have chosen a better setting to celebrate a momentous occasion. Our food was delicious, drinks were heavenly, and the atmosphere will without a doubt have us coming back for more. Many thanks to Maurizio & staff for a fantastic evening!"

"My friend who passed away a year ago today liked this restaurant so I thought I might go in remberence. I made a reservation for just myself. I came on time and the man I spoke to seemed surprised I was eating alone. He told me since it was busy he could only seat me at the bar. I was pretty sad, I had made a reservation because I didn't want to feel lonely at the bar. But I said ok because I didn't want to be difficult. After sitting there for a moment I felt quite emotional, so I just left. I understand that things get busy on a Saturday night and would've waited longer for a table, but he made it seem like since I was alone that wasn't really an option. It already feels kind of sad to go out to eat by yourself, I just wish I could've had a good experience like the people who came in groups. In the future I hope you try to accommodate parties of one just a bit more, instead of making them feel like an inconvenience."

"This is our favorite Italian in north county. Food was so AUTHENTIC, full of flavor, great wine options and service was great. We will definitely come back."

"High quality authentic Italian food. While the place is very unassuming and is even missing white table cloths, the magic is all in the kitchen. Everything that we tried from the appetizers to the deserts was a hit. 5 people 11 dishes 0 complaints."

"Pricey, but very nice experience overall. Waitstaff was working short but still managed to be attentive and polite. Food was excellent. My wife and I split a starter salad and the kitchen split the plates without being asked. Meatballs were dense and full of flavor, definitely homemade and well seasoned. Spaghetti was well cooked. Everyone else seemed to live their meals as well. Cannoli and tiramisu were well executed. Overall a great experience."
