Maria’s Restaurant

I wish I could add stars for individual aspects and menu items. We've driven by for at least 5 years driving to and from the Portland airport (PWM). Recently, timing was right for dinner. There were cars in the front lot but plenty of room without a reservation. Very Old School Italian environment. I ordered Eggplant Parmesan; recommended by our waitress. My husband ordered the Lobster, Mixed Seafood Pasta. It was WONDERFUL, especially at $30 because the price of lobster has soared recently. My serving of Eggplant Parm on the other hand was SPOILED, sour, moldy tasting, unpleasant. The waitress and I had a bit of an "explanation" back and forth. It took a bit of convincing but she took it into the kitchen. She came back with a new plate of Eggplant Parm. She did not offer me a substitute dish, the EP just showed up. Luckily, it was wonderful 👍. She was very kind but no one from the management offered us an explanation or apology. We will consider returning when in the Jetport area. But we live in the mid-Coast region and won't likely make a special trip. Although, that Lobster Pasta might just change our minds.

House made short rib Ravioli in a Marsella sauce...yes, please! Awesome traditional Italian food in a cozy space with great service. Great desserts, too!

Absolutely delicious food and wine. We started with an antipasto, then my husband had a few apps for dinner (crab cakes - in the top 10 of all meals he has had and sausage and peppers). I had the mushroom ravioli which was also delicious. Kit provided excellent service as well.

We had a wonderful experience. Our server, Kit, was friendly, attentive, and efficient. The Peroni with limoncello was tasty and refreshing. My favorite was the ciabatta burrata, bursting with flavor. My husband enjoyed a jumbo shrimp dish, and I enjoyed a chicken marsala, made by special request. These healthy-portioned entrees were served in skillets. Salads were crispy and fresh, and the bread was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Perfetto! We couldn't stop there, so we shared a cannolo for dessert. We highly recommend Maria's and plan on returning.
