Food was solid but absolutely not going back tons of other better restaurants in the area.

                                                    Birthday night, midweek, 7:00 pm. Not too crowded, service excellent, food excellent. Dined on ravioli stuffed with braised beef & cheese w/chunky tomato sauce, also chicken parmesan. Our salads were amazing. I had green market salad perfectly dressed & partner had arugula salad, perfectly dressed. I wanted a specially made drink & they followed my instructions. Delicious! Our new fine dining place. Only issue, wish the parking situation was more convenient.

                                                    They honored our request for a quiet area in the restaurant and we had a lovely table in the corner. Service was exceptional. Food was delicious.

                                                    Our 3rd time at Maiella and this will be probably the last. Food was a little mediocre, not as great as before. Wait staff service was good but hostess’ rudeness and lack of experience ruined the vibe. There are many better options in the area.
