Maiella - LIC

This is our third time dining at the restaurant and each time our meal was as good, if not better than the last. Also, the service is impeccable and ambiance is perfect for dining either with friends or for a small party. We love it.

The valet parking needs to be addressed. Wasn’t prepared to from a lot since they have (and charge) for valet. The service however is hospitable but not professional. Service is spotty.
The food is delicious, the ambiance is amazing and we love being there.
overall, none of this would deter me from coming back but would recommend with these caveats.

First time but definitely not the last! Take the chef's recommendations and specials of the day and treat yourself to some table side pasta, you will not be disappointed.

From the hostess, to the busser, to the server to the manager, each were present and extremely friendly. Very catering. Food was amazing.

Awesome, great place

It was amazing! Trust me you will love it!!

Valentines

Food was cold and not as usual, it seems like the Valentines Day event caused the food quality and timing to be off...

Service was excellent...and the food was delicious 👌🏾👌🏾

My Husband and I go here at least once a month. It’s one of our favorite Italian restaurants in all of NYC, and one of the best we’ve been to outside of Italy.

The staff is wonderful.

The food is excellent.

All around perfect dining experience.

Valentine’s Day prefix menu was def weird. But service was awesome

I always love the food and ambiance of Maiella. Service was great!

Absolutely love this place. Came here for my anniversary dinner and it was the perfect night. The food was amazing and I can't wait to come back!

Great restaurant!!!
Staff are pleasant, friendly and attentive.
Food is delicious with a good presentation.
Great ambiance. The Chef comes by each table to make sure everyone is satisfied and enjoying their meals.

Maiella, was very pleasant I highly recommend, service and dinner was on point food was great

Servers were pleasant and attentive. Small portions for the $$ but food was very good. Noise level was absurd; impossible to have a conversation with dinner guests.

My fave Italian spot!

Love that there are so many gluten-free options!

As always a lovely experience. Food was lovely. Service great and the place was buzzing.

Simple amazing!!!!! Can not wait to go back !

Danny our waiter was amazing and entertaining. He was very informative in helping us make a decision on what to eat.

We had a wonderful dinner and enjoyed the ambience and service.

Food - meh! Upscale Italian but I have had better at family run pizzerias/restaurants! The seafood with fregola - the clams and muscles were so small they were hardly worth threw Orkney take them from the shell. Seafood was definitely not fresh. Dessert was good, appetizers so so. Very noisy dining room. Service was good!

Beautiful decor, great food, and nice views of the skyline. I highly recommend for a night out if you enjoy Italian food!

We did restaurant week and it was delicious. However our server seemed to give us less attention and brought us the check twice without asking when we intended to order more drinks. It seemed he made that decision when we said we would do restaurant week. I've eaten here before and the food seemed much better this time.

We all had an amazing experience. It was great to experience the venue during Restaurant Week. The menu was well selected and delicious. The seasonal cocktails were on point and well tasting. All the appetizers and desserts were great and my fish entree was exactly what I was in the mood for: something fulfilling, light and flavorful.

The server and manager were very attentive and friendly. Overall all my friends and I had a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back! Thanks, Vinny!

Very cool restaurant with great views of NYC and Amazing bartender - Elias. He made us the Cuban drink - if you like spicy, go for it. So delicious with fresh ingredients. The service at the restaurant is great and the food is really good. We had their special cheese wheel pasta as an appetizer, and while it was yummy, I felt it was pretty rich. We ordered two as appetizers for group of 4 and I think 1 would have sufficed given the richness of the dish. lobster pasta very good and so was the chicken dish. The manager was so kind and offered us desserts on the house for having to move our table over to accommodate a large party. I recommend the chocolate molten cake!

Exceptional food and service. Loved the duck breast entree and beef carpaccio appetizer. Vibrant atmosphere with great music playing.

I loved the glutenfree options, especially the glutenfree bread.

Beautiful venue! They have a great outdoor patio that would be great for dining al fresco! Went for restaurant week and the selections were okay, not as good as last time. Due to food restrictions I was forced to get the gnocci truffle, which was great! but wouldn't normally get such a high carb dish for dinner. We will be back for a second try!

Excellent food, wonderful atmosphere, and kind wait staff. Highly recommend-also gorgeous views of Manhattan!

My husband and I each got ravioli, and they were incredibly bland so we regretted our orders. I also wasn't overly impressed with the rest of the meal. The ambiance and service were great, so if I go back it will be for that, probably for happy hour this time.

Anniversary

A love this restaurant, the food, the staff, the ambiance, everything is fantastic.

Great food, but the service made my wife’s birthday unforgettable. Thanks again and see you soon

As always, wonderful food and ambiance! I have been here several times and it never disappoints.

My partner took me to Maiella for my birthday, which happened to be during restaurant week. The staff were all pleasant and accommodating. We were a bit early but our table was made available fairly quickly. Wait staff made their presence known and explained our options. To the restaurant’s credit, we were given the restaurant week menu without having to ask for it. We both enjoyed our meals immensely: no smaller portions to reflect the menu we chose. And the bill was very reasonable. Delightful.

Love Maiella! Prices say special occasion but my love for the ambiance says monthly visit. Love that the staff is so friendly and that my 7 year old has favorited this place for the past three years - with no side eye.

Amazing service , food was great. Well worth it for a date night or special occasion

Great food, ambience, and view coupled with my great family.
