Social Profile:

Maria’s Little Italy, named after our Owner Maria’s Nonnas’ (grandmothers). Maria’s Little Italy is a manifestation of four generations of family tradition. Throughout Maria’s entire life, food has always been the glue that held her family together. These recipes are an expression of the Italian way of life: simple and loving. It all started with Maria’s Great Grandfather Vito Straziota, Italian bread maker. He taught his recipes to his daughter Maria which then was passed on to Momma Anna, Maria’s mother. Anna and Maria have worked side by side her entire life, to create delicious meals for their entire family. Maria is honored to have the opportunity to share this wonderful food with everyone.

Experienced a lovely lunch at Maria’s including an appetizer of bruschetta which was toasted perfectly and included a wonderful balsamic reduction. I had a panini sandwich-delicious.

The spaghetti and meatballs & Pizza were fantastic tasting. The hour-long wait sucked at 430 pm. The wait staff was friendly and good. The place did get very busy by the time we’ve finished eating at 6pm. The place is really nicely decorated. It was a bit cold in there though. Everyone got blasted with cold every time the door opened. Need curtains.

This little restaurant is a gem. The house dressing is delicious. The bread was fresh and they have Real butter on the table.

Our first time here. Was expecting more per the reviews. The pizza crust was hard and tacky and it tasted dry from not enough sauce. The spinach salad was okay if not a bit short on portion size. Ditto for the appetizer. The food arrived about 30 minutes after we ordered for two people. After we got the food, the server never checked on us and we had to flag her down to get some refills on water. Overall we were kind of underwhelmed. Likely will not return.

Best sauces. The vodka cream sauce and the marinara sauce are unbelievably good. The service from the two Maria’s is very welcoming. I will be going back.

We have been wanting to try Maria’s since we moved to Dekalb in June and finally tonight, our family got to celebrate on our 16th wedding anniversary here and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at this wonderful gem. Just like out of a scene from Billy Joel’s “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant” I felt transported. The staff and owner are awesome!.

Your meatball sub… makes it impossible for me to lose weight! No matter how many laps I swim across the street I can’t help but stop in for a delicious meatball sub. I don’t know how you keep the bread so crisply toasted while having sauce and meaty-cheese goodness but keep up the good work. My only suggestion is I wish I would remember to get more sauce on the side to dip it in. Absolutely delicious.

Very disappointed in Maria’s Little Italy. I was excited to try their meatball sandwich. From the reviews I had high expectations. Let me first say the service was great, friendly and fast. The restaurant was clean and very nicely decorated. My order was to go. When I got home and unwrapped the sandwich, the cheese and sauce came off the sandwich with the paper it was wrapped in. No big deal, what was a big deal is the meatballs had no flavor at all, and the sauce tasted like jar sauce. It was runny and thin. We also got a fettuccine with parmesan chicken. This sauce also came from a jar. The chicken was very small and very dry. In fact this dish was more of a child size. The salads we got were also very small, about what you would get on a sandwich. We also got a tiramisu and lemonchello. These were fresh and very good. I paid $52.00 for this meal. Not worth it. Sorry to say I will not be going back.
