  Excellent Food at a very reasonable prices. I've eaten here several times with friends and wish that I lived closer so that I could come here on a more regular basis. I had the various veal dishes and found them all to be top notch. My wife had the scallop dish and found the Alfredo Sauce it came with amazing.
  
  I also had a Caesar Salad that was one of the best non-table side prepared Caesar Salad that I ever had. I asked for the optional anchovies and the salad worked out great.
  
  Some people complained about the slow service. The service is about the same pace that you would find at a restaurant in Italy. People there don't seem to be in a hurry to finish eating. Plus, the food here at Da-Maria is prepared fresh.
  
  I consider myself a foodie, I've eaten at Alo Restaurant in Toronto and other famous restaurants around the world.
  
  I speak from experience, when I say that the food here is excellent.
  Service is a bit on the slow side but who's in a hurry. Also, wish that they would turn on the a/c on warm days. Still, for this type of food at their reasonable price point, I can't complain.
  
  Keep up the good work!

  Great neighborhood spot for pizza. Much better than the chain places. Fresh ingredients, friendly staff, and a real family vibe. We usually order pepperoni pizza, but we've gotten pasta too, and everything tastes amazing.

  I really wanted to love this place. It's walking distance to my house, it has pretty cheap Italian sandwiches, delivery and takeout open till midnight. But the service is just so awful.
  
  The first time we came here, we ate in the dining room. The whole place reeked of cigarettes, but that wasn't their fault, there were two ladies smoking every 10 minutes outside and sitting around drinking pop inside. We got our menus and ordered from a nice old lady who disappeared into the kitchen. I ordered the penne arrabiata and he ordered a pizza of some sort. I got the salad that came with my meal and ate that. Then we waited. And waited. And waited. A couple of single older men came in and got their food before we did. All told, it probably took us 30 minutes to get our meals. The pasta was  pretty good, a nice sauce, but nothing mind-blowing. He did not enjoy the pizza. We got our bruschetta after we finished our meals, since they forgot. It was soggy, but made for good leftovers.
  
  Visit two: takeout. I called them and ordered one chicken sandwich, one meatball sandwich for pickup. No cheese. They said 20 minutes, which seemed like a long time, but I was starving and lazy. I walked in after 20 minutes to be told that the delivery guy accidentally took my meal and would be back soon. I waited for about 10 minutes and chatted with one of the ladies making meatballs. Finally, the sandwiches came back and they gave me a free coke for waiting. Which is.. kind of a crappy consolation, in my opinion. I got home and nearly cried when I discovered there was cheese in BOTH sandwiches. Still super hungry, I picked the cheese off the chicken sandwich and ate it. It was really really good, but not worth all the trouble.
  
  Because I love breaded chicken sandwiches, I will probably be back again but with the following caveats:
  - I will always order in person with the son/grandson who seems to be running the place now, instead of talking to the old guy on the phone
  - I will make a huge deal about being allergic to dairy
  - I will order only when not super hungry, and when I have time on my hands.

  What service? Showed up to an empty restaurant; considered raiding the bar until the owner surfaced 5-10 minutes later. He made us go back into the kitchen to give our order directly to the chef - isn't this what a server is for? The chicken parm was like eating a shoe, seriously dog food. Awful experience.

  Went for lunch yesterday.  Was extremely disappointed.  I ordered a pizza, was the worst FROZEN pizza I every ate.
  
  The salad had way too much vinegar.  Our bread was cold.
  
  My daughter had the ravioli, she smothered it with cheese,  and said it was okay.
  
  By the end of our meal our server just disappeared.  We had to ask the  kitchen staff or owners, who were sitting watching television to get our bill.
  
  I have been to several Italian restaurants,  this was the worst.
