Cucina Maria South Philly Reviews

Great tradition Italian food - we tried the burratas and pastas and loved them all. Saw mussels and chicken parm devoured by others. Fantastic ricotta cheesecake for dessert.

What a pleasant surprise to find Cucina Maria’s in Little Italy. All of the food is freshly prepared and the sauces are outstanding. The new owner makes fresh bread every day as well as the pasta. We will return next time we are in Philadelphia.

Wow! All was very good food, there home made pasta is great. The meatballs are A+ you must try them. Great service from Teresa!

We stumbled upon this place due to bad weather and needing somewhere to eat. We were literally the only people in the restaurant but we put that down to the weather. The service was good and so was the food at a reasonable price.

The food was outstanding and the prices are reasonable .i had the fettuccini and meat sauce. It was great. Everyone enjoyed there food. we had a great time with family and friends.

In my work life I have eaten in Four Star restaurants around the country and Cucina Maria is as good, if not better than many I have visited. We always go here when we visit with our two adult grandchildren and it's usually on a Sunday. We find this place just an outstanding location with food that is over the top. For the past few years of visiting Mucina Maria we have ordered a variety of their menu and have yet to find anything that is not outstanding. Pricing is reasonable and portions are generous. Not only is the food great but the service, staff and ambiance of this place is just wonderful. Italian food is our favorite and Cucina Maria is a special place for our family to gather.

Very good BYOB Italian restaurant. This restaurant would be great for a friendship gathering and for couples. I had the lobster ravioli. Wow!

We were so lucky to find this restaurant. Walking in Little Italy, we were interested in a couple restaurants that were closed in mid-afternoon. Luckily we stumbled onto Cucina Marina. We come from an upstate NY town that is blessed with superb Italian restaurants and Cucina would be in the running for the best in our town. Superb. The bronzino was spectacular!
