Nothing Special – Currently on a fresh pasta binge I sought a Midtown restaurant and came across Pia Maria online. I met a friend there and found the place pleasant and average. The food was alright but nothing extraordinary, I had the lobster ravioli which contained chunky pieces of meat and a tomatoey sauce. My friend had the fish special with spinach - she said the fish was bland but enjoyed the veggies. If you need somewhere Midtown this place is okay, and, not particulary overpriced. Generous portions, good service, ave... read more
very good food exellent service – I ate at this cozy and mouthwatering italian restaurant twice this week and it was exceptional on foo and service.if you need to eat something before or after theater don't hesitate to go to this great italian fare. It is good for anytime of the day with a pretty gorgious menu and great service.tyr ther mussels and clam stew or their antipasto mix (dry meat and cheeses) and don't forget the Polpo. For your main course try Rissoto Pescatore or the calfs liver with balsamic reduction. If you l... read more
cozy lil' place – Maria Pia is conveniently located practically next door to my favorite musical, Wicked. Naturally, I have eaten there twice...Good and inexpensive Italian cuisine. It's a no-brainer for NYC! It offers an extensive wine list (no Reisling for boyfriend, though). Yummy goat cheese ravioli, breads for the table, and tasty delights for after the meal.
Great venue, helpful staff, and most importantly good food – Bit delayed writing this review but we celebrated our wedding here back in the summer. It was a Monday so we were able to reserve a large table at the back of the restaurant and so not disturb the other diners. The staff were very relaxed and permitted guests to drink around the bar longer than they could have. When finally seated we enjoyed some good reasonably priced (for New York) wines and some great food. Of the 25 of us, almost all enjoyed all three courses a... read more
Nice Atmosphere/Large portions – Nice Restaurant. Staff was pleasant. We made a reservation for 10 and they were very nice to add an 11th chair when we brought an extra person. Everyone enjoyed their food. A couple of picky teenagers with us and they were very happy. Portions are big - I recommend splitting which apparently they do. I wish we knew because a lot of food went to waste. I hate that! I had the lobster ravioli. It was just okay. Salad was very fresh and tasty. Overall a nice restaurant.
Just like home. – Maria Pia's food is delicious! The cavetelli bolognese was amazing. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the meat sauce was rich and favorful. The food tastes just like my what my Mom and Grandma used to make - earthy and authentic Italian. We were served promptly and the wait staff was very nice. I highly recommend this little jem of a resturant.
Perfect Pre-Theater – Dined here on Saturday 1/28/06 before the Theater. Reservations were for 6:30 and we arrived 15 minutes early. We were seated immediately, even though the place was packed. There is a 3 course Prix Fixe menu for $21.95 or you can order off the regular menu. Food was great, service was prompt. Seating is a little cramped, but that is the norm for a restaurant of this type in the Theater District.
Didn't even get to eat! – We had a reservation for two but were told to wait at the bar. We each ordered a glass of wine, paid for them and waited 15 minutes to be seated. Once seated, we waited another 20 minutes in the busy restaurant without a server acknowledging our presence. We figured that although the menu looked good, it wasn't worth fighting to eat there. As we left without getting to order, we told the hostess what had happened, and all she could manage was an unapologetic "sorry."
Great Food! Average Service... – ...I love Maria Pia's food, really Italian...really yummy! Unfortunately, the service is not at the same level of the food:-/ Last time I was there the bathrooms were not working, and my chair was broken. I complained to the manager, (his name is Mary...weird) and he didn't care AT ALL, and gave me a cold and rude answer...and it was not the first time dear Mary!!! The wait stuff is attentive though, the bartender was really nice and competent (her name is Jo...jaja a little gender confusion ... read more
