Story

Maria’s Italian Kitchens is one of those grand American success stories. Maria’s Italian Kitchens often remind guests of the casual, sometimes boisterous, neighborhood eateries of another era. It began in the Italian quarter of Hoboken, New Jersey, where Madelyn’s mother, Maria, grew up learning the recipes for real Italian food of Naples from her mother, Luisa. This home-grown education in the fundamentals of Napolitano sauces, soups, dressings, ravioli, lasagna and other regional fare was put to delicious use in 1968 when the Alfano’s and their five young children moved to Los Angeles and bought a tiny grocery store called the “Village Mart” in L.A.’s prestigious Brentwood Village located at Barrington Street and Sunset Blvd. and converted the one car garage into the first Maria’s Italian Kitchen in 1975. She must have learned her lessons well because that first Maria’s Italian Kitchen was a huge success.
In 1985, Maria’s daughter, Madelyn Alfano followed in her footsteps and opened the first table-service Maria’s Italian Kitchen in Sherman Oaks. Madelyn ultimately expanded the successful concept to nine more locations, and still personally supervises the kitchens and oversees all the restaurants. Each one carries on the Alfano tradition of warmhearted service, painstaking attention to detail, and a commitment to using only the highest quality ingredients. To this day, Maria’s Italian Kitchen is proud to be a family-run operation. And we will welcome you like a member of our own family.

Wow Was gonna be nice n give them a 2 but 40 min after the review this made me barf NEVER GO THERE EVER!!! Horrible nasty food. The guy at the front is extremely nice i asked for extra Alfredo n extra cheese they gave me 3 really small cups of extra cheese on the side and like no Alfredo sauce I FREAKIN ASKED FOR Extra n there's like nothing on it r u freakin' kidding me 18.99 for a pasta Alfredo that the ingredients itself cost $9.00 to make by scratch which is way better. this chef is the worst i've ever seen. it's sad how they double the price n r so freakin' cheap on there sauce jerks. The only reason there not marked 1 is because how nice the guy was n i appreciate a smile and kindness. Other than that shame. Wow Was gonna be nice n give them a 2 but 40 min after the review this made me barf NEVER GO THERE EVER!!! Horrible nasty food.

It is an especially good deal if you come on Tuesdays for half price wine night or Thursdays for no corkage fee night.

Caesar salad had no flavor for second time I ordered it. Meatballs had strange texture. Worst house Chardonnay , service was below average.

Slimy management and waiter. So my daughter received a "Big Cheese Award" as a reward from her school for having achieved Honor Roll and Principal's List. We went that night to Maria's in Agoura Hills to celebrate. I made it very clear that she had been awarded the certificate and proudly showed it to the waiter, David, then displayed it on the table. The waiter acknowledged the award and congratulated my daughter. As we ordered from the menu, we made sure to stayed within the rules written on the certificate's restrictions. Our meal came and we ate. ONLY AT THE END OF THE MEAL WHEN WE WERE GIVEN THE BILL did the waiter then tells us that since we ordered from the adult menu the certificate was null and void and that they would not honor the award nor its discount. Neither the certificate, the waiter, nor the manager indicated those were the restrictions. So as my waiter's slimy move I forgot to include his tip. Medea Creek MS parents: Buyers beware!
