First time here! 12/15/25. Wow, it was fantastic! They offer specials all the time. Today was half off pizzas, $10 stuffed shells, etc. cozy atmosphere. We got the Cavatapi pasta, lasagna, and an order of their breadsticks. You have to order the breadsticks here – they’re so good!

My dental hygienist just got back from a trip to South Haven just as we were getting ready to head that way so I asked her what she recommended and Maria’s was at the TOP of her list. Obviously we HAD to stop.
We were NOT disappointed! Our server was very nice and did an ok job. A little slow, but not anything bad. The food was INCREDIBLE! Like roll your eyes back in your head kinda good. My husband got the open faced meatball sub. I got spaghetti. And our daughter got the stuffed shells. My husband and I came home with an entire second meals worth of leftovers. And the price was very reasonable. It was only $50 for the three of us.
My favorite part was how QUIET the restaurant was. I have sensory issues and crowd noises/restaurant noises can be very painful for me. There was very little of that here. A little bit of noise from the kitchen, but hardly any crowd noises. (It was also 2pm on a Saturday. So it wasn’t very crowded.) Which is JUST what I needed after strolling the Center Street shops.
We will definitely be coming back to Maria’s if we visit South Haven again!

We had a nice dinner at Maria’s. The pasta was fantastic, the lasagna was delicious, and the pizza was a 7.5/8 out of 10. We prefer mozzarella and it was nice and thick.
We don’t eat Italian often, but we do like it. This time around, we were pleased.
The service was good location was fine.

Maria’s taste of Italy serves mouth-watering family recipes handed down from Sicilian ancestors with from-scratch bread and perfectly seasoned sauces. The Alfredo sauce was creamy with extra cheese. The meatball appetizers were big enough for an entree. Fresh breadsticks melt in your mouth. Even the herbal tea was served with a slice of lemon, selection of flavors, and extra hot water. Staff were friendly and genuine. They also offer a selection of locally bottled soda. We came on. Monday for lunch around noon and were seated immediately. Definitely recommend!

Went to Maria’s in the early afternoon on a Thursday. It was cloudy out and we asked to sit outside, to which the wait staff were highly against due to a fear of rain and if it were to get busy, the service would have been slow. Ok, no worries. We then sat upstairs. The upstairs was bigger than we thought, and had cute decor. The waitress came to our table and introduced herself within 5 minutes of being seated.
We got lemonade, milk for our toddler and a sprite tasting drink.
They do not have cups for kids.
The side salad came out drenched in dressing and cheese.
We ordered a 16 inch Margherita Pizza. The pizza was filling, but the pizza did not taste the greatest. It was the equivalent to a cheese bread.
The service was good, but we’d skip this place if we want a pizza in South Haven.

I will start with the good:
The chicken Parmesan was the best we’ve ever had, we ate most of it before we could take pictures. I would come back for that dish alone. Generous portion size, reasonable price, flavor was awesome, cooked to perfection. I would also like to try the lasagne and spaghetti. Waitress was so kind and pleasant.
The not so good: Extremely Long wait times, and did not allow carry out on Saturday. I would suggest calling hours ahead, going inside to put your name on the wait list, and go do something to pass time until they call.
Also, the pizza was unbelievably disappointing. The crust was hard, dry, and seemed like a frozen pre made crust—NOT FRESH HAND TOSSED DOUGH like you would expect from an Italian restaurant—ESPECIALLY FOR THE PRICE POINT. Definitely disgusting and from the pictures online it looks like maybe they changed the way the pizza was made recently? It appears that it was fresh hand tossed dough at some point before, but what we received looks like a frozen pizza. Save your money for sure and stick with the other menu items.

Old school Italian restaurant. Pizza was quite good as was were the salad and bread sticks. Menu was fairly diverse with a decent number of vegetarian and pescatarian options. Service was very good and the atmosphere eclectic and interesting.

They offer gluten free dining options including cheesy bread (so good!), pizzas, pastas including raviolis, and desserts. The entrees are massive! I highly recommend giving it a try but maybe take them up on the split plate charge because it’s so much food!

Wow… the food was excellent! It was busy so we sat outside, which wasn’t bad, but the service is probably better if you’re inside. The toasted ravioli was great, the pizza was good and the Palmero was excellent. Great flavors and preparation all around would definitely recommend and will return.
