    Always return for their pizza, calamari, eggplant parmesan, chicken parmesan, garlic knots, and all were excellent. Friendly and fast service. Also, portions are HUGE! Chicken Piccata was 3 meals for me. Love this mom and pop restaurant...hope they stick around for awhile! Best homemade tiramisu I have ever had in an Italian restaurant. Yummy!

    Wish I could remember the servers name he was very friendly and said he had been there 7 years. My friend and I shared a bruschetta appetizer and I got Chicken Parmesan with angel hair and my friend got Chicken cachiatore. Mine was amazing and he loved his. I have since had a stromboli that was excellent and I plan on trying their pizza soon among other things. There was a brisk and steady take out crowd happening as well.

    Worst pizza we've had since moving here in 2016. There was zero pizza sauce. I called and asked if that was the norm and they replied no it wasn't. She reimbursed me for the deluxe but shortly after we were able to peel back the cheese on the other cheese pizza and there was almost no sauce at all. I also asked for it well done and it was barely done at all. I know good pizza and this is not one I would ever recommend.

    Loved the food and service. First time in here and it’s so nice and cozy inside. Will definitely come back to try some pastas.

    Dinner with Mom and we lucked out, arriving early without a reservation. During tourist season - and Saturday night in February is definitely tourist season - you will want to call ahead. We had a busy table in the back near the kitchen with constant traffic going past us. But that's how it is in a busy restaurant! Mom chose the Chicken Francese and enjoyed it. A big portion and half of it went home. I went to the Maria's Baked Combo, which was a gigantic pile of dinner. A piece of chicken parm, a meatball, some of their eggplant rollatini and a sausage, all served over penne and topped with sauce and melted cheese. Delicious! Their garlic rolls are pretty darned awesome if you like hot bread with melted cheese and garlic butter. Yum! Service was good though it took a couple of reminders here and there to move things along to the next step. Bring some patience and if you're in the Cape during the offseason absolutely give 'em a try!

    We are Michiganders and love a good pizza and mom and pop joint! Maria’s will not disappoint. Between the mouth watering smell when you walk in to the delightful wait staff that is quick and efficient we had a fantastic time. Jenna our server was amazing, last minute she quickly got my 3 year old all her demands and believe me it wasn’t easy. The food was sooooo good! The Caesar salad was delicious but Maria’s sets it apart from the rest with its homemade dressing. My family LOVED the meat lovers pizza! I’ll think about it forever. And if you’re lucky really really LUCKY you will be in for the times of your life if Luke is there! There’s a baby pic of him on the wall and we were so pumped when he came to our table. I’ll tell ya they don’t make management like this anymore, Luke not only gave us a full background on his families place but was just all out the sweetest kid! More people should take a page out of Luke’s book, absolute adored him! If you go to Maria’s ask for the kid in the onesie on the wall you won’t be sorry! He is a genuine personable guy with the sweetest soul! Loved him! And quick shout out to John who ran out my daughters bracelets! Such a nice staff, amazing food, and all out somewhere you should visit when you come to Cape Coral! Can’t say enough great things!

    Told don't have order than My husband shown them the on line order. Asked for money back. The unprofessional woman said she needed a manager for that. He says we have that. The pizza had been sitting a while it was cold and rubbery because it was sitting in the kitchen for a half hour, while the unprofessional woman was saying you dont have a order for you didnt make a order. Really people Extremely unprofessional and really bad pizza. If I could rate it as zero I would. My advice get rid of the people making this a bad experience this place has gone down hill. Been going here for many years. Last few times service is terrible. DO BETTER!

    Service was great, (thank you Tyler) food was very tasty, serving sizes are crazy big, they serve garlic rolls and oil, salads were fresh, iced tea is nice & strong. We've had their calories before and they were just as good. Would definitely recommended. Servers are wearing masks and seating is spaced appropriately.

    While on vacation from Virginia, we always love to support local restaurants. Maria's was small in size but big in taste!!! Authentic dishes, very large portions, the friendliest staff and delicious desserts! We enjoyed our experience at Maria's very much!

    We dropped into Maria’s last night for dinner and were impressed! The restaurant is very charming with a super cool old school authentic Italian feel. Our server, Shae, was great and the food was amazing! As a group we tried the cheese bread, chicken parm, baked penni, alfredo, and lasagna. We also ordered the all meat specialty pizza and a stromboli (the thing was huge) and everything was delicious! We will definitely be back to Maria’s on our next visit to Cape Coral!

    This restaurant used to be SO good; what happened? None of the people who have been there for years are there. The food has gone downhill. The garlic knots used to be the best any where. Tonight they were drowned in oil. There was at least 2 inches of oil under the garlic knots. Yuck!!! The meat sauce had no taste. When asked if there was a change of ownership we were assured that wasn’t the case. I hope this isn’t the beginning of the end for this restaurant. They need to get back to the fine Italian cooking they have been known for.

    Fantastic food! Ordered the family meal! We got delivery. The pizza was hot and fresh, salad was cool and clean and the pasta was cooked perfectly! But the garlic rolls?!? Wowwww!!! I could eat an insane amount of those! Well done! Will DEFINITELY be back!

    Food was OK. Depended on what was ordered. The eggplant rolatini was very good. Chicken Parm had a thick, very fried breading and that and the meatballs were a little burned. One of our 4 orders was missed and that person basically ate alone after us three others finished their meals. Extra garlic knots never arrived. My credit card was hacked 8 minutes after charging my meal and the credit card company said the fraud charge was manually keyed in. Judge for yourself.

    This restaurant is incredible! Better than when we we were here 3 years ago! I had a Stromboli that came out on a pizza sheet cause it was bigger than my plate. My wife had spaghetti with meat sauce. Huge amount and sooo yummy. Just to say, we won't wait so long before we come back!!! 🍲🦐🍰❤🙂🙂🙂

    Have only ever had take out, never dined in. Service is always prompt and food is always ready quickly. Large portion sizes that are great value for money. I have enjoyed the eggplant Parmesan and eggplant baked sub. Both delicious and easily enough for 2 meals. I have tried & enjoyed the pizza. Cesar salad dressing is tasty. Garlic bread with cheese is a generous appetizer. Would highly recommend

    This little hole in the wa resteraunt was very good! Customer service was fantastic! Both my partner and I were hangry and the food came out in a timely manner, and the pizza was phenomenal. The only thing I'll comment on, would possibly be a bigger sign out front. We passed the resteraunt once, but didn't see it the first time, ( it was really dark). Went around thr block again, and couldn't tell where it was at first. Maybe just add a little more lighting?

    I have going to Maria's for years and have always enjoyed everything I've ever had there. I've also had their pizza numerous times. This time was different. They now use canned mushrooms and the artichokes were peeled down so as to extend the amount put on the pizza. I would rather pay extra and have fresh mushrooms and artichokes cut such that I can taste them. If this is now become the norm, I will have to find another pizza place. I hope that with their other dishes, they are not cutting corners.

    Most of the food was really good 2 pastas were a little crunchy We would have sent it back but they were tired and hungry. The server must be new or doesn’t manage her time well. It took about 20minutes to get a drink then we had to wait about 15 minutes after that to get a menu. We asked another server for them. They gave us 2 baskets of bread and 2 saucers of oil for 8 of us so I asked: May we have more oils we got 1 more. I thought we were going to get our own saucer instead we dropped oil on the table. The bread and oil was really good and we were starving.We ordered 2 appetizers that took awhile then we finally got soups and some got salad. The soup was really good. The salad ok. We were there for nearly 3 hrs. Basically everything we received through it all we had to flag down people. There were 4 servers in our party. We still gave her 20% because we thought maybe she hadn’t been trained properly or she couldn’t handle our 8 top with her other tables Either way the food was really good

    THE BEST meatball parm subs ever. Maria’s also makes a delicious NY style pie & their 16 slice Sicilian is a fantastic way to feed a bunch of people. Good salads & yummy cannoli too. Their service is fantastic. We get delivery via the Slice app. Maria’s delivery staff are top notch.

    We order Maria’s pizza most Friday nights because it is consistently good. Tonight the pizza was beyond good. The best we have had in a long time. Good job Maria’s!

  • 5/5 Ted B. 2 years ago on Google
    Outstanding food! Had carryout so I can't comment on the service inside, but everything was absolutely outstanding! A must-have if you are in the area. Parking is tight, and don't park in the neighbors' parking spots across the street, but definitely worth the trip! Best advice is to park further down the street and walk a few more steps to the restaurant than get into a problem with the neighbors.
