Maria's Italian Kitchen - Pasadena

Large menu with good portions! Always a plus for Italian restaurants. They have a huge parking that is shared with other restaurants and provide indoor and outdoor dining as well. I had the chance to try the carbonara for a work lunch and it was good! Don't forget to also order the bread, comes out warm and great as an app. Servers were super friendly and attentive to our party.

This place is beginning to be one of our favorite Italian eateries. Service is good, food is delicious, and everyone is happy.

We stopped in for a quick lunch and decided to go with the lunch special. It's a pretty good deal, $12 for a salad. I got mozzarella sticks as well and was surprised to be charged fifty cents for ranch! I think that if I'm already paying for an appetizer a business can give me a small side of ranch on the side. Our waitress was a little overworked because they did not have a busser. Totally not her fault and she was friendly. Overall, it was a positive experience. I think they should be more upfront with small charges and maybe put the customer first for silly sides like ranch.

I love this place since ive been going for years. However, my husband and I ordered meatballs yesterday togo. We had few leftovers so i decided to have today. I understand plastic wraps/ egg shells/ etc due to delivery/ just simple human mistake, do NOT get me wrong I would rather find NOTHING, but i found a stapler insert today. Thank god i saw this earlier.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Just awful. Bad service, bad food. Dead Ambiance. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND YOUR STOMACH
