"Our waitress was excellent. Our service was very good. Our food for the most part was very good. Detractors were that something seemed a bit off with my pear martini, and it arrived after my food, but the server apologized right up front and comped it. My steak was a bit overcooked I ordered medium rare, and it came out closer to medium. It was still tender and tasty, so I didn’t send it back. Finally, one of the parties near us got pretty loud and obnoxious as it got later. Nothing the restaurant could have done about it, but it was unpleasant and affected our experience. Everything else was great! And your French fries have vastly improved. They’re actually good now!"

"This is the place you need to eat at with you're family and friends to celebrate whatever special occasion comes up. I swear, there are at least 2 times the amount of vegan options here than there are non-vegan, so that's something to look forward too. So anyway, last night I and my family went here to celebrate my little brothers birthday. It was my first time eating in the restaurant and let me tell you, the staff is really nice and the decor is so quaint. I immediately really liked being there. Then after we sat down and ordered our dinner, they brought us this tray with some really fluffy bread along with butter, biscotti, and olives (all vegan). It was then that I knew I came to the right place. That stuff was so good. Then after a little while, they brought our salad and appetizers. I got buffalo cauliflower, mac n chz balls, and mozzerella sticks. Wow. That buffalo cauliflower was outstanding, I will be getting it again. As for the mozzarella sticks, they were really good, the mac n chz balls were a little plain but still ok. I wish the mozzarella sticks and mac n chz balls had a cheeser taste. But I was really happy to try it out. And of course the salad was good, the vegetables tasted really fresh btw. Anyway, moving on to the dinner. For dinner, we got a seitan parm, fettuccini alfredo, and eggplant rollatini. I loved the fettuccini alfredo, I will definitely be getting that again. The seitan parm was good but I thought it mimicked chicken too well, and I don't like the taste of meat, so I won't get that again. To be honest, I was a little disappointed by the eggplant rollatini, I've had it quite a few times from their chain restaurant in Rockville Center and the Rockville center location does it better. What I can say though is I prefer the cheese used at this location over Daiya cheese, and the Rockville center location uses a lot of Daiya cheese (I still love the Rockville Center location a lot though). So moving on, after trying out all this food, I ended up having massive leftovers, which is awesome because that means the party won't end right away! Also as a side note, my grandparents are meat eaters and they came with us, they got the shrimp parm entre and loved it. So to sum everything up, I HIGHLY recommend coming here."

"It's an Italian restaurant, for better and for worse. The food was good overall, wait staff were friendly and accommodating, and the decòr and abmbience were quite warming. The food service itself is interesting in that individual portions are fairly small you're really supposed to get a sampler/multicourse meal and share it family style. The menu was almost entirely Italian and not everything translates correctly, such as the diplomático dessert (a sponge cake if I recall correctly). And since this place was a full house tracking a staff down to explain the menu was a bit of a hassle, and the overall noise level made conversation difficult and became uncomfortable after a couple hours. My primi dish, fettuccine pancetta ragu, was fine, and I found the bread to be bland (no seasoning in either the bread nor oil), but I did sample other dishes that were quite impressive such as the sausage/fennel pizze and pesto pasta (off menu vegetarian option). And the gelato was the best I've ever had. I'd imagine the experience being much better with a familiarity with Italian language, and coming at a less popular hour."

"Burrata appetizer was beautifully plated enough for three people to share. The lamb chops were tender and delicious. The Gorgonzola gnocchi was rich creamy. It is always a favorite of my wife's. My favorite pasta was the Rigatoni alla Norma. The pasta was aldente the way I like it the sauce was abundant with eggplant pine nuts. My wine was a Duckhorn Merlot, very smooth finish. I passed on dessert but I normally get their cheesecake that is always the best around. All in all a great place to dine if you're looking for a real Italian restaurant."

"Why do they bother asking to make note of about a special occasion during reservations if they do nothing to honor it? In times of Covid, one would think they would go out of their way to show appreciation to their native Floridian customers who dare to come out. We both ordered a dessert didn’t even get a “Happy Anniversary” or a candle. Not asking for anything for free but that would be nice.Ambiance: Nice updated yet cozy room with maybe quiet couples aside from one rowdy group of which ruined the atmosphere. Not the fault of restaurant but I asked for a quiet romantic table to celebrate our anniversary. They had a second room they could have put us in. Our choices were a table next to the rowdy crowd, or sit next to kitchenbathrooms.Service: Staff wore masks but not gloves so that was off putting. Service was perfectly attentive but not intrusive. Gave us a nice amount of time in between courses.Food: Tomatoes on caprese salad were ice cold. Tomatoes should be served room temperature. An Italian restaurant should know this better than any other. Poor quality tomatoes. Enjoyed the flavor of the veal ravioli although extremely al dente, and I love al dente but this was crunchy! The bolognese was flavorless like a kid’s dish and the linguine was surprisingly overcooked. Especially compared to the ravioli. No consistency. Even the butter pats were frozen solid. Tiramisu was too American, with too much marscarpone cream and not enough espresso flavor or lady fingers. The large portions did not make up for the lack of flavor.Overall: I’m very sorry to knock on the little things but they just missed the mark on every single thing. I hate to say anything that would hurt a restaurant in these uncertain times but I hope this helps them improve. I’m sure they have their regulars who are treated better. If you’re not one of them, I’d try somewhere else"

"So 2 stars for the service which was great, waiters constantly came by to fill up our water glasses. But the truffle pasta was a major disappointment. Can't believe I wasted my birthday lunch on this bland meal. I paid $15 for the shaved fresh truffles on top which I thank God for because the fresh truffles was the only thing with any flavor on my plate. I also paid $28 for the cheese wheel upgrade but imagine my surprise when the first waiter just dropped it off table side and then the second waiter immediately just twirled it around a fork and placed it on my plate. No mixing or scraping of the cheese wheel to pick up any pecorino cheese flavor. When I asked our waiter about it, he said they finish cooking the pasta in its sauce on the cheese wheel in the kitchen. Ok but my pasta clearly had no sauce either. My husband had the linguini w half lobster, the tomato sauce overpowered any crab or lobster flavor. The lobster was also overcooked. We came here for a special occasion and left very disappointed. If you're looking for good food, look elsewhere. So many better options in the neighborhood."

"A bland experience. I came here one time for with my bf's family for his brother's birthday. It was an extrememly busy night for them. Good thing we had reservations. With all the hype, I expected all the food to be superb. Unfotunately my food was very bland and my bf's plate was overly too salty. The family and I were very surprised by this. I want to try it again cause I'm sure it was just a fluke, but I haven't been back yet."

"Amazing food that covers other sins. First, I want to say that everyone leaves laughing and happy. It is one of the first things that I noticed when I arrived. We sat near the door, and it was a joy to watch. It's a small place and tables are a bit too close. The back room is an unreasonable cluster where people are right on top of each other. It seemed stuffy when we arrived and that turned into a glistening sweat as we ate. . The server was delightful. She knew the menu and described things well. We really enjoyed her. We ordered cocktails. Her wine was delicious. My old fashioned was perfect. The starter salad was great for my wife. Even my little plate of greens and berries were unexpectedly good. The wait for our meal was unpleasant. We were hot and sweaty. The restaurant was annoyingly loud. We mentioned the heat to the waitress who was sweet and agreed but could not solve the problem. I had scallops with veggies which were amazing. I loved every bite. The scallops had that perfect crispy outside and tender flavorful center. My wife had the beef rib over pasta. She raved about her meal. I snuck a bite and it was flavorful and tender. She carried on about how delicious the pasta was and how incredible the mushrooms were. The meal was truly exceptional. There was a fly that would not leave our table. At the end of our meal, it found a mate and made love on the window sill as we waited for the check. Even they left happy."

"I dined at Maria's Cucina for the first time and was greatly impressed. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the staff were fantastic. From drinks to appetizers, entrees, and dessert, everything was delicious. It was truly one of the best meals I've had in a while. The swordfish, recommended by our waitress Jenna, was especially amazing and perfect for Lent. Jenna's great personality added to the overall dining experience. We will definitely be returning to try more of their dinner options. - Jim"

"The welcome back menu was a fantastic value. Excellent offerings with delicious and filling portions. Considering the restaurant seems to only be open a couple nights per week, it didn’t seem like the service was well put together. After waiting a while to order, consistently food was served at different times within parties. It was noticed throughout the dining room as others complained as well after half their table received their food at a different time. Not sure if it’s just the style of their service or it was an off night, but we had what seemed to be a different person serving, taking our order, filling our water, our bread, salad, etc. It seemed all over the place. But compliments to the chef for the amazing meal"

"overall quite terrible servier experience. the server did not let me try any kind of wein without buying the bottle. I could only try to open bottled wines, but if we agreed on a bottle, he served my mother first and asked if she wanted to taste it. server never came back to check our experience. my steak was very well done. only when the wonderful busser noticed that I was not happy and he immediately returned the steak and brought a new one. Once the new steak came, the server never came back to check on our table. When I mentioned my overall experience to the manager, the manager could only apologize. for the ambiente and the price....you pay too much to be served terrible"

"Went on Thursday night at 6PM with reservations and place was about a 1/3 full and after about 6 minutes of waiting had to ask bartender to call the hostess. Had to wait another 10 minutes for waitress to take drink and appetizer orders. Had to wavedown waitress to put in dinner order and had to wait again to pay bill. Horrible service and the only positive thing was thefood."

"Exceptional Dining Experience. The food was beautifully prepared and presented. The ambience was beautiful modern but intimate enough for a romantic evening. The service was A . I rarely take the time to leave a review but I felt compelled to share such a lovely evening with others who may be looking for a special restaurant. My husband and I love good food and wine. I am very critical when it comes to Italian food since I always make it better at home than at 98% of Italian restaurants. Both carpaccios were excellent. We loved the pasta with mushrooms and sausage and the steamed branzino was delicious something I could not have cooked at home. I think this restaurant serves the best authentic Italian cuisine outside of Italy and perhaps Donatello’s in Tampa and my home."

"that was my second time in osteria, the first being before they turn off for covid. after almost 2 years I was very excited to come back! eating was absolutely amazing, and I remembered what brought me back. I have only two small weights that are small. one is that it is smaller than I remembered, so my date and I were placed in the middle of everything, so it is less cozy and intimate than I liked, and that it is loud. (this is part because we came on a Saturday evening during the rush, so everyone was filled with table. I imagine if they go in a less busy time, it would be much more cozy and quieter. certainly something to consider when they 're on a first time date, or plan to have a conversation that remains. the appetizer we chose was burrata, which came in a beautiful, squishy little baptism, on the top of prosciutto, with roasted red pepper and caramelized spices. I never had better burrata in my life as creamy, salty and decadent as it was. my date had the Butternuss-Quash-Ravioli (which she worshipped and really enjoyed, and I had the pistachio correction of cadjau, which was perfectly tender and came on a delicious pool of rice that they were forbidden to call a bit suppy, but perfect, slightly salty, nutty and al dente. we both ordered a glass red wine that could be a bone of satisfaction for $16 $18 per glass, led to a very meager pouring. (maybe this is standard, I don't go much out! be they that, as it can be, this restaurant on her must go to list for incredible, authentic, Italian tariff. the host was beautiful and the prices are fair."

"Update- still killing it at 3 bros vegan cafe! First time visiting three brothers vegan cafe and I was blown away. Food was delicious and fresh, service was friendly and quick everything was on point. I had the fettuccine alfredo and it was delicious, the portions don't seem big at first but you fill up fast with the bread appetizers and by the time the entree comes out you realize you're not gonna be able to finish the whole thing. My partner ordered the orochiette with broccoli Rabe and sausage and WOW. That was the best white wine sauce I've ever had, the sausage was incredibly, definitely some home made secret recipe type of thing. Also had the polenta fries (huge portion) and tofu crab cakes with an amaaazing tartare sauce. They also have desserts from vegan treats available. Definitely going back to try more stuff on the menu. Absolutely delicious. 5 stars."

"The food was incredibly delicious, but the service left something to be desired. We started with arancini (thanks to the waitress who condescendingly corrected my pronunciation) and fontina flatbread. The arancini were delightfully light, while the flatbread was just an average small pizza. The entrees, however, were much better: the pappardelle al ragu was like a warm, savory embrace. The highlight of the evening was the spaghetti al granchio, which featured black spaghetti with crab meat that was expertly seasoned and truly a feast for the senses. Unfortunately, the service was slow, even though the restaurant was only half full for most of our meal (it’s a cozy spot). My dining companion described the staff's attitude as a mix of heightened obliviousness."
