I tried the Godmother (cold sandwich), and it was excellent. This restaurant was recommended to me by a Newhall local. He basically said “everything is good there”. So I’ll be back to try the spaghetti, lasagna, and pizza.

This was my first time here. The food was absolutely delicious. If you like Italian food, skip Olive Garden and go to Maria's instead. I ordered the Lasagna with two meat balls. I usually don't like the Lasagna super saucy but I loved this one.

Great sandwiches, pizza, and pasta. Window specials are good deals and beer is cold. Plus Brittany poured an absolutely picture perfect mug of beer. Service is fantastic and staff are friendly upbeat and positive. My favorite lunch spot

We are visiting from out of town and just had a fantastic lunch here. Killer menu choices, comfortable restaurant, very friendly employees and their draft beer prices have to be seen to be believed. I am definitely coming back to Maria's the next time we...Read More

Food was great and the service was great. I’m going to be back quite often. I stopped going in 2019 after years of great service and food. I just hope that it stays like this. Very happy with the reopening.
