I'm glad i went because it was fantastic!! The servings were worth it, also very traditional authentic family Italian meals. The service was good!

We've been going to Maria's for years. The only problem we have is trying to get a table. During the week it is absolutely packed. Its genuine home cooked italian. The food for us has always been excellent and her ravioli is to die for. Maria has been going for years and years right next to the Victoria Market where all the italians have their stalls so I'm sure the stall holders that eat at Marias would be a good recommendation. Maria always welcomes you personally. The ambiance is not great but its a typical italian eat and run place.

Wow, where do you begin to describe the worst food you've ever had? Anywhere. Ever. We stopped by for dinner this week and we were served absolute garbage.
We both had bruschetta - there was so much olive oil dripping from the 1 small piece we each received (total rip-off) that I couldn't eat mine. It was just foul.
My husband ordered spaghetti & meatballs and I ordered lasagne. Beef lasagne. Except there was absolutely no beef (or anything else, other than tinned tomatoes) between the lasagne sheets. It tasted like tinned tomatoes mixed with tomato paste. There was absolutely no béchamel sauce. Not even the tiniest amount of cheese! There were some miniscule grains of mince throughout the 'sauce' but that was also the extent of the beef.
The spaghetti & meatballs tasted like dry nothing. After a few bites we paid and left. Never to return again. When we left my husband noticed there were 2 old ladies in the kitchen doing the cooking. Seriously, a 5 year old could have cooked a better meal. Luckily it cost us $53 for a tiny entree of bruschetta, 2 mains and 2 beers.
How could the owner not know how bad the food was? It didn't even look like lasagne!

Approximate cost: $20
