What Andrew Berg doesn't like about Maria's, a Taste of Italy:
When did it change? It's been a couple years since the last time I came, but i remember this being the best carbonara I'd had at a restaurant, and everything else being great. This time both the white sauce dishes we ordered had the same canned quality. Like...i hate to say it, but i kind of suspect there's a lot of white Velveeta packages in the trash. I wish i could think maybe the chef was out sick or something, b... View all feedback. What Diane Schuldt likes about Maria's, a Taste of Italy:
Absolutely love Maria's Taste of Italy. This time I had had the buttered shrimp linguine. It was so good. My friend had the spaghetti dinner and side she liked it very much. I will definitely come back to this place when I'm near SoHa. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner View all feedback.

The dining experience at Maria's Taste of Italy seems to be hit or miss. While some customers praised the friendly staff and delicious food options, others were left disappointed by the service and quality of dishes. The inconsistency in food quality, ranging from delicious shrimp linguine to subpar Fettucine Alfredo, demonstrates a lack of attention to detail in the kitchen. The ambiance and potential of the restaurant are noted, but the overall dining experience is marred by slow service, microwaved sausage links, and lack of knowledge among servers. Prices are on the higher side, prompting some diners to seek other options for their special occasions. Despite the mixed reviews, the restaurant does seem to have a loyal customer base who appreciate the welcoming environment and authentic Italian cuisine. Ultimately, it appears that Maria's Taste of Italy has room for improvement in terms of consistency and customer service.
