In the Italian town of Bellochi-Fano, a baby girl was born. Bellochi-Fano, meaning “beautiful eyes,” is located in the province of Pesaro on the coast of Italy, east of Florence, overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Nobody knew then that this girl would come to America 18 years later. This beautiful-eyed baby, born July 15, 1905, is the very same Maria that opened Maria’s Restaurant in Braintree, Massachusetts.
Cheery murals deck the walls at this enduring source for hearty Greek, Italian & American classics.

We saw this place recently on Phantom Gourmet. Drove 1.5hrs from CT to give it a try. Wow. It was as good as they said. Drinks were great also. We loved it all!!! Our waitress Mandy provided us with such good service!! She was awesome. We told her how far we came from just as small talk and she mustve mentioned to the Manager or owner and he gave us a free dessert (chocolate cake which was AMAZING!!! They made our night. Cant say enough good things. Definitely try this place if you can. We ll be back on date nights….

We hosted my mother’s 80th birthday celebration in the upstairs function room at Maria’s on 2/8/26, and it was truly a wonderful experience from start to finish.
The planning process began with the owner, Zac, who was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and easy to work with. Organizing a milestone event can be stressful, but Zac made everything feel seamless and manageable.
When we arrived on the day of the party, Mandy and Gio greeted us warmly, and the room was beautifully set up and ready to go. The space itself was perfect for a private celebration — comfortable, inviting, and ideal for gathering family and friends.
Throughout the event, the staff was exceptional. Mandy was especially attentive and kind, frequently checking in on my mother to make sure she had everything she needed. Matteo went above and beyond handling the tech so we could play a video on the large screen TV without any issues, while still assisting guests throughout the afternoon. Gio kept everything running smoothly and ensured the event flowed effortlessly. Zac was also there overseeing that every detail was taken care of and checked in with me a few times to be sure I didn’t need anything.
They also accommodated dairy and gluten allergies without hesitation, which meant so much to our guests.
We absolutely loved hosting our celebration in Maria’s function room and would not hesitate to hold another event there. I highly recommend Maria’s for any special occasion — they truly made the day memorable.

Food was okay. Haven’t been here in a long time since before the remodel so figured I’d give it a try.
Got the burrata which was good. Chicken marsala which was also good… Needed a little more flavor? My friend got shrimp scampi which had a ton of tomatoes.
We both got iced tea and it tasted like bottled nestle ice tea, which was frustrating.
Waited 15min or so after we were done to even see a serve to get a box to go. Looked like 1 server was running the whole restaurant and the manager was food running? I understand times are tough to get workers, it’s all good.
My friend looked over and while we were waiting, saw a mouse run across the floor of the dining room under our feet and run under another table and into the walls, and we saw one or two tails by the heating vents.
I felt like they were going to be running up our feet or something the entire time we sat there as we were against the wall…good neighborhood staple and I want them to be successful, but I probably wouldn’t be back any time soon. For similar pricing, I have local favorites that I know I can get consistent quality and service at.

Visited this establishment and grabbed dinner with my friend. Our server was attentive and accurate. But, beware there are mice sightings in the dinning room. They are probably cold and crawl through the heating ducts but, it did surprise me to see a few furry critters scurry around the walls. The Buratta is delectable, the shrimp scampi however a bit too oily and lacking flavor.

We’ve lived near Maria’s Trattoria for years, and tonight was our first dinner here. The moment we walked in, it felt super warm and welcoming. Everyone ：from the host to Giovani at our table ,was awesome!!
Food was authentic and delicious, and the birthday candle for my husband was such a sweet touch. Definitely coming back… gotta support the neighbors!

Maria’s Trattoria: A Throwback Reimagined
Maria’s Trattoria has always been a clutch move. I started coming here in high school—usually on a date—when the place had a different look but the same heart. Family‑style dishes, warm smiles, and that mural on the wall that somehow made the whole room feel like a memory.
Today, the mural still stirs something in me, but everything else has been beautifully renovated and re‑imagined. The chef is a true magician, building Italian flavors in layers—notes that rise, settle, and surprise you with every bite. Nothing here is rushed. They take their time because doing it right is the point.
There’s a small function room downstairs for about fifteen and a larger space upstairs for bigger gatherings. The bar is modern and chic, with plenty of ales on tap, and the pizza—crunchy, quick, and deeply satisfying—is perfect for a casual stop‑in.
And the food… just look at the plates and you’ll understand. Then reevaluate your life choices and get yourself down there to savor the flavor.
My Top Picks
Wild Mushroom & Lobster Ravioli
Rich, aromatic, and layered with earthy depth and sweet ocean brightness. It’s the kind of dish that makes you pause mid‑conversation.
Arugula Salad with Crusted Parmigiana
Crisp greens, a bright lemon pop, and that perfect crunch from the cheese. Light, refreshing, and beautifully textured.
Chicken Parmigiana
This is where Maria’s shows its soul. The chicken arrives perfectly pounded, tender, and still juicy beneath a golden crust. The sauce isn’t just tomato—it’s a slow‑built symphony of garlic, basil, and sweetness, each note unfolding as you eat. The mozzarella melts into the edges, creating those caramelized corners that only happen when someone in the kitchen truly cares. It’s comfort, craft, and nostalgia on one plate.
Maria’s is still the throwback I remember, just elevated, refreshed, and ready for the next generation of stories.

Came with a friend of mine from Cuba who wanted to try authentic Italian pasta, and I made the best decision by bringing her to this place! The food was absolutely amazing, and the customer service was excellent. Our server Dan was fantastic—very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend this place!

Wow food was amazing and reasonably priced !! The chicken parm came out shaped like a heart! My husband and daughter enjoyed their meal just as much and have a very good wine selection. We choose to sit at a high table at the bar and service was very good. We look forward to coming back when we visit family.

Despite a small delay with our food due to a kitchen mix-up, our experience at this restaurant was truly enjoyable. The manager, Giovanni, handled the situation with great professionalism, kindness, and genuine care, making us feel welcomed and well looked after. Our waitress was equally attentive, friendly, and apologetic, which made a real difference.
The service overall was excellent, and when the food arrived, it was absolutely worth the wait. Situations like this can happen, but what really matters is how they are handled—and in this case, it was done perfectly.
We will definitely come back and happily recommend this place for both the quality of the service and the warm atmosphere.
