Went here for Valentine’s Dinner. Overall – it was fine. I think it’s reasonably priced, but I’m not sure I understood the space. There were 2 big cherry blossom trees (which are fun), but playing awfully loud DJ music, and the ambience was just confusing overall.
Luis was our waiter. No issues per se, but felt a bit ignored. Service of food was also slow (could be bc of Valentines).
Arancini appetizer special tasted just like fried mozz balls. The “risotto” got lost in the cheese and was overdone.
The filet mignon was actually very done, but served with cold mashed potatoes.
The pastas were unmemorable. I recall taking a bite of each and being very underwhelmed.
Have no real reason to come back. Food is mediocre, space is confusing, and the only thing it has going for it is the price. There’s plenty good Italian spots in NYC, this isn’t it.

We had our wedding at Maiella Restaurant, and it was absolutely perfect! Tyler, the manager, was incredible—so professional, attentive, and accommodating. He went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and Maiella is truly lucky to have him on their team.
The food was phenomenal—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every single guest raved about the dishes, and we couldn’t have been happier. The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and elegant, making it the perfect setting for a special occasion.
Thank you to the entire Maiella team for making our wedding day so memorable—we couldn’t recommend this place more! Robby & Stefany Pagano!

Maiella is a beautiful restaurant, along the water, with great service and delicious Italian food. The eggplant appetizer (pictured) is a must. Have been here several times and never had a bad meal. Their pastas and pizzas are all amazing, hard to pick a favorite. Will definitely be back soon.

The food was too disappointing to compensate for the decent atmosphere. The beet salad seemed straight out a pack. The sear of the pulpo was ok but the seasoning and side just did not work. The mains were terrible. The pork was so dry and overcooked we left one behind. The salmon tasted fishy and was not well seasoned and overcooked although we asked for medium. Cacio e Pepe was the best but I wouldn’t come back for it. We were rushed through our appetisers when the mains came and music was a little loud. Might work for drinks there were some big groups but overall, not sure if this establishment would survive in a place with some competition.

What a great place to sit, eat and have a great view of manhattan! The food was spot on, it was not pricey, and we got a show because I ordered the caccio de Pepe It was really good. And because we arrived there before our reservations, we were able to walk down next to the east river and get a special view of the city.

We had a private party here on a Friday night. They reserved a space for us with a gorgeous backdrop, and everything was great. They helped us plan, were super flexible with food and everything during the planning process. During the event, the service was attentive, engaged and professional. The food was all fantastic – we had chicken parm, spaghetti pomodoro, salmon, short ribs, beet salad, Caesar salad, wagyu meatballs, and more. There was an eggplant appetizer that was a bit too salty, but that was the only thing that wasn’t to perfection. The atmosphere is really nice, lively but warm. Highly recommend this place!

We had the pleasure of eating at Maiella after my now-husband proposed in the summer of 2016, while visiting NYC from Ohio. It was delicious and we always wanted to go back. In 2025, we finally made our way back! They sadly no longer had the delicious cannolis from 9 years ago (best i’ve ever had to this day) and the outdoor patio was under construction, but our meal was still fantastic and the staff were lovely. We will always make time for Maiella whenever we are lucky enough to find ourselves in NYC.

We celebrated our daughter’s 16 with family and friends, a group of 25. Food, service and ambiance were perfect. Tyler was very patient and professional throughout the whole planning process.

We hosted a special dinner for my stepdaughters 16th birthday in the private area here and it was great! The staff we were accommodating, the food and drinks were good and our guests enjoyed themselves. They allowed me to bring in decor which added a special touch to the tablescape and space. If you’re looking for a semi private space or place for a night out (we came prior to booking for date night), I would recommend Maiella
