Cafe Maria

Great service, huge sandwiches, pretty good pizza. Try the penne vodka pizza if you're feeling like a delicious carbo-load!

This is one of the very few restaurants where I have been dining in since the Covid pandemic. Visible precautions are in abundance inside the restaurant and the outside seating area is very pleasant too. Masks are worn, tables are few and very spaced out, personal sanitizers are everywhere. And the food and service are still great. Congrats to the lovely family that owns and operates this establishment. Looking forward to going back for a safe and delicious meal.

Great personal pizza and dinner for takeout. Need to enforce masks for order pickup. I have seen someone each time I have ordered from them pickup without a mask.

This cafe was quite enjoyable. Customer service was great, food was awesome and the tables outside over look the beach! I recommend the egg tortilla and Portuguese French toast was amazing!

Great restaurant. Delicious pasta and salads. I recommended.Staff are very friendly and try to
To serve you the best way possible.

Great place. Best pizza in earth. AWESOME service.Glad to be local to enjoy their good foods...

Awesome pizza! Consistent and delicious and a bargain at the price. The riots Ted garlic is divine! Next I am going to try dining in.

Last night I called in a take out order and 1 of the "specials" was grilled swordfish,,,,,,I ordered that for my friend along with an order of mussels,,,and a cheese ravioli....I did not try the swordfish thank God,,,and we both ate the mussels,,,.........by 8PM,,my friend had violent vomiting and diarrhea,,,he had a classic case of food poisoning,,,,,you would think that they would really inspect the fish they are serving,,,,I guess when you order a fish dish in a pizza parlor,,,,,expect the unexpected..

We decided to have a luncheon here for my son's Christening and it did not disappoint. The owner, Giacomo, is extremely friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious - my favorite was the eggplant rollatini - it was excellent!!! We also enjoyed appetizers - (the Calamari was outstanding), sausage and peppers that everyone gobbled up, chicken francese, and penne a la vodka. Our serving was darling, and she definitely had her hands full as we essentially took over the entire dining area. I would definitely book another party here, and would love to come back and try the pizza.

Friendly local Italian cafe that has been family run for ages. Best breaded chicken wings for miles and nice calamari too. We took a party of 8 and were very well looked after. BYOB.

The penne vodka sauce was thin and tasteless and the chicken with it was chopped in very small pieces and did not have a grilled taste. Very unappetizing to look at. I lost my appetite.
The pizza mediocre, crust tough also. Disappointing because the service was great and it is a cute place, bright, airy and inviting.

This is Two of Best Italian Food in the Area at the moment. They should hook up with a local winery to sell Vino. The Sicilian Crew will put Little Italy to shame. This place will be hard to beat ....a great contest with Marinellis

Very nice place. Pizza one of the best in the area and I am from NY! Gorgonzola chicken pasta from the regular menu is excellent as is the sausage pasta on the Monday night pasta special menu. Can't beat that deal! Very very good food with bread and a salad for under $10!!
Staff is friendly and accommodating! Worth trying!

The antipasto has something that tastes like bologna and the pizza is just okay. Not impressed because when I arrived for my order, I felt like I was bothering them. It was not busy at that time.

Have been there several times. We went for my birthday we were 6 they were very accommodating and even closed the lights and everyone sang Happy Birthday and got me a piece of cake with a candle. Can't wait till Ed go again!

I have visited Cafe Maria many times over the past few years and have found them to be merely adequate. To give credit where credit is due, the staff has always been friendly and welcoming. The food, on the other hand, has never really impressed me. I only order food from there when I am desperate and have nothing decent to cook at home or it is an inconvenient time to travel to a farther pizzeria. If I did not have three young children at home to take in the car with me I would not hesitate to travel to Frenchtown to get my food instead.

On one occasion I dined in and ordered eggplant

Authentic Italian food... Italian family owned and operated.

Every time my brother visits from out of town, we stop in for real jersey pizza. We're warmly received by the owner, who remembers us by name... it's become a custom.

The 'Pasta Nights' are a good deal, and have lots of options.

Average food, spotty service. We ate there on a Sunday night, so no discounts. It was relatively empty in the dining area. Relatively quiet, so when its not busy I would have expected better service. I had Penne pollo, pasta w Vodka Sauce, mushroom and peas. I've had this same dish at Alfonsos (deliciosa!) and Panatieris in Flemington, and this one was nowhere near as good as the others. It did not have enough flavor and I had to dump on Parm cheese to make it taste good. My daughter had the chefs special, which was a shrimp dish and she said it was average. Only my daughters friend liked

Ambience: quiet, very subdued. Last visit was on a holiday, the place was nearly empty, so maybe my experience is skewed.
Service: efficient, polite, wouldn't call them super friendly.
Food: always good. Takeout pizza is really good. My calamari could have been soaked for desalinization a wee bit longer, I think. Didn't stop me from devouring it and growling at anybody who asked to try some.
Prices are just a *tiny* bit higher than other local Italian restaurants. But then again, the restaurant is definitely nicer, so I think the higher prices are valid.
Menu is excellent
