My visit to Maria’s Cafe was so pleasant that I am already longing for the next time I stop in. This restaurant boasts an intimate setting and a beautiful selection of meals. My friends and I ordered paninis, which were honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. I ordered the chicken and pesto panini, and it was a delicious, perfectly-sized meal. The cookie display is also worth taking a look at, since the diverse array of cookies is both yummy and nice to look at. Finally, the service was outstanding. Every staff person who interacted with us was so charismatic and thoughtful. I highly recommend Maria’s!

Terrific service! Delicious, authentic Italian food with that Little Italy vibe. We had the Calamari to start then the Salmon Farfalle & Bacon Ravioli Tetrazini. A gem in Highwood on the North Shore!

The gnocchi ricotta is outstanding! The pistachio cookies are wonderful! An authentic Italian restaurant and bakery with a great atmosphere. Bravo continua così Gino Pollari!

Her cakes were delicious and even better when I put my own icing on her cake.

Ordered fried calamari to go. Took a long time. Once I finally got my order, they were cold and chewy. Couldn’t eat them. Very expensive for an appetizer that couldn’t be eaten. Wouldn’t go back.

Went to Maria’s for the dessert from getting a recommendation from a friend. The cake unfortunately was extremely dry and overpriced for the slice I had. Coffee was good though. Maybe I’ll try the food next time and update this review. This is solely for the dessert options.
