Restaurant Maria - Berlin

We were recommended this restaurant by some colleagues who rated it very highly and we now know why. It is a very traditional italian restaurant in every way the service was very friendly and efficient, the decor was warm and cosy, great wine, and...the food was amazing! We had a variety of things from the menu between our group such as pizza, spaghetti and salads and everyone enjoyed their meals immensely. Although we enjoyed what we ordered we couldn't help but feel a little bit of food envy' when we saw the waiter prepare a spaghetti dish in a large wheel of parmesan for the table next to us. Sprinkling it with truffles as he mixed it into the cheese wheel it was a very cool thing to watch and we will definitely be ordering that dish next time we visit!

This was a highlight of our recent visit to Berlin. The city is not short of places to eat but we went back here times! Lovely Sri Lankan family ownership. Food was excellent and good value. Sometimes service was slow but we were on...holiday. Close to the nh hotel where we were staying. All credit cards accepted. Cosy and happy place.

We were looking for a restaurant nearby that would provide a great variety as well as options for a vegetarian and decided to stop in here. Being we arrived not long after they opened we had plenty of options for seating so we sat at...a very comfortable corner table next to the window. The dining room is very relaxing, comfortably lit with an old world feel. The service began immediately upon walking in the door, our drink orders were taken immediately and being most restaurants open at the same time for dinner I was ready to eat! They have a very nice wine menu, plenty of reds to choose from as well as a good variety of beer. Our drinks arrived soon after we ordered them. I ordered a salad to start which obviously did not come with my typical ranch, however the oil with a splash of vinegar provided at the table was very good. The menu provides a very large variety, obviously plenty of pasta to choose from as well as pizza and many other types of entrees. You won't have an issue finding something or a few somethings to provide a variety. I was in the mood for spaghetti carbonara with a side of bread. We had wonderful service while waiting for the entrees to come out, they ensured the drinks and water remained full. The spaghetti carbonara was excellent prepared differently than what I expected, a pleasant surprise. A large helping to start, the spaghetti was prepared with a light cream which provided wonderful consistency to ensure the noodles were not swimming in sauce. The flavor was equally impressive! We thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant.

Food was soo so cheap I am a Carbonara addict and it was one of the best I’ve ever had for a huge portion and for only euro! I ate here every night of my night trip to Berlin as my boyfriend was...a big fan of the “pizza mista” as well which was only euro so for us to eat here the bill coming to about for the both of us you can’t go wrong! We would come out full to the brim and the food is just amazing, can’t recommend this place enough. The owner was also super friendly giving us a free shot of jäger while we waited with another little group of locals who we were chatting with in there

I’m not sure which of Maria’s two restaurants I went to but it was great. Service was friendly and helpful. Prices were very cheap. We had a selection of foods, pizza, curry and a traditional meal. All were very tasty. It’s a good place to...eat if you’re in the area. Super choice and very fresh.
