Osteria Maria - Front Royal

Osteria Maria is a jewel. New owners took it in early April 2022 and brought a fresh look and created things more than one notch or two. Great local atmosphere, phenomenal Italian cuisine including fresh made pasta, friendly staff. The young but experienced chef offers the best dishes you can find West of Manassas. Nice menu, not too wide, but something for all and different nutritional needs. If you are in Front Royal, this is not to be missed; if you are not in Front Royal, you should go to check anyway: .

I read tons of these reviews before giving and was a bit skeptical at first. Previous owner sounded like a very unpleasant person to put it lightly. From what I understand it is under new ownership as of April 2022. Everyone was super friendly, food was delicious and the wine the waitress recommended was very good as well. Highly recommend. Don’t be deterred by the older reviews.

This is a great little hidden gem in Front Royal. A really cute place with a nice modern, but not pretentious atmosphere. Delicious wines and desserts, friendly service, and great food. Note: The menu doesn't lend itself to families with little kids. But the selections are great for adults and couples looking for a nice Italian dinner in a charming spot. I recommend the papperadale ragu. The sauce tastes exactly as a bolognese should. Flavorful but not too salty. Recently taken over by new owners and a family run business. I wish them much success!
