   Hostess didn’t offer coat check. Wasn’t warm or professional. Wine not stored at adequate serving temperature. Octopus, Arugula, Branzino and chocolate mousse was good. Steak was bland and served cold. WTF! I have a very strong taste palate and could taste fish in the Cavatappi Meat pasta. The restaurant Could use a hospitality/staff revamp and training staff, especially for the prices. Carlos, our server was nice and could tell we were not having a great experience.

   I love this place! The guys who run the restaurant are really nice and the staff are thoughtful. They really pay attention. The food is so delicious! My friends and I have made this our celebration restaurant. Only one thing, I left my camera accidentally and called them within the hour and they said they had it so I could come back for it. I thought it was strange that they didn’t call me to tell me that I left it because they had my number from the reservation. When I collected it the next day I realized someone took pictures with the camera of the decorations in the restaurant which is strange but I did get my camera back.

   Food, Service and room design are all top notch. Staff is professional, polite and friendly. Pasta’s is especially good. I just wish the music was played at a lower volume so we wouldn’t have to yell at each other. Even at a 2 or 4 top!!

   We were looking for a new place that had great food, service and ambiance. Maiella hit a home run on all three. The menu has so many great options to choose from. The table-side cacio e pepe was one of the best we’ve had. It’s a nice add to have it made right at your table. We had chicken parm and branzino and both were equally delicious. They come with either a side of pasta or vegetables. For desert we had cheesecake and Affogato. This just sealed the deal for for an already amazing meal. Additionally, I am very big on customer service and they make sure they deliver in this area. Anthony , the manager, is a really nice guy. Stopped at our table to ensure everything met our expectations. He shared some stories with us about the restaurant and food. He makes sure all your expectations are met (even exceeded) and what sets this place apart from other restaurants in the area. We look forward to Maiella being a regular place for us and can’t wait to go back and try some other dishes. Lastly, the the ambiance with the views of NYC make this a place you won’t mind sitting for an hour or two. If you haven’t already, definitely try this gem.
