Maurizio's Ristorante Italiano

I hit the Yelp jackpot when I found Maurizio's! It is truly one of the BEST Italian restaurants I've been to in my entire life (and that's saying something!). Maurizio's does take reservations by phone, but since they weren't very busy on a Thursday night, my party of 3 was able to walk right in with no wait. The restaurant is very spacious, with about three separate rooms, and the tables were spaced out enough that we didn't feel crowded. I read through the specials, which were posted on chalkboards throughout the restaurant, but I ultimately decided on the chicken piccata, which is one of my all-time favorite Italian dishes. The meal was priced around $20, but it did include a house salad with choice of dressing, a side of pasta, and a heaping plate of garlic knots, big enough to share with the whole table. The garlic knots were bathed in oil and butter and topped with Parmesan cheese, making them a crowd pleaser and a delicious appetizer. Our server, Svetlana, brought our food out within in 15 minutes of us ordering, which was appreciated by everyone. My chicken piccata was absolutely amazing, especially the flavor of the lemon and garlic sauce. I finished the entire plate! My mother was excited that Maurizio's offered chicken Marsala, which is something we don't usually see at Italian restaurants near us. My sister stuck to her usual order of ravioli with vodka sauce (vodka sauce is a $4 surcharge), and the ravioli was stuffed with a delectable triple cheese blend. Even though we couldn't eat another bite after dinner, we perused the dessert menu for a late-night treat to take back to the hotel. I got the spumoni, which is chocolate, cherry, and pistachio gelato, and it was the best spumoni I have ever tasted. I could've eaten a whole pint! One thing to note is Maurizio's does charge extra for using a credit card. I couldn't ask for a better experience from Maurizio's!

I can't say enough amazing things about Maurizio's. From start to finish our entire experience was about as perfect as it gets. Even though our server had a very welcoming southern accent he knew everything there was to know about Italian food; he knew the menu in depth and gave us wonderful small stories about the owners and restaurant. His suggestions for our entire meal were perfect. The tables are far enough apart you can still enjoy a private meal but also appreciate the welcoming atmosphere. We can't wait to come back and taste more of this amazing, authentic menu.

The food was good, the portions were generous and the price was right. For a decent price you get a salad, garlic knots and the main course. The service was great, with our waitress coming back to see that we were ok many times - but now too many - and she was very friendly. The place itself was decently decorated and clean. I'd go there again. By the way, everyone liked their food.

MAURIZIOS!! LOVE this place. Christmas eve tradition go come here. Such a treat. We also order pizza from here probably once a week. But i got my favorite dish tonight called the Salmone Azzolini. I haven't found a dish that's better ever since I discovered this at Maurizios. It's so unique. Nowhere else have I been able to find this. Also, the service is so good. Always pretty quick to take your order. Best Italian in Williamsburg, VA.

We were heading to Busch Gardens for Howl-o-scream but wanted something a little more substantial than what offered in the park. There is classic Italian atmosphere with mostly dressy but some we less dressed up.Our friend had the caprese ravioli. I had the rich lobster ravioli which was great. My husband loved the Osso Bucco. He had it nearly every time we come. The portions were a good size. The server was attentive and things came out well timed between apps, salad and entrees.

We chose Mauricio's because of their reviews. My sister and I wanted to celebrate my mom's 78th birthday in a location in which we could meet half way. Maurizio's did not disappoint. They staff was so accommodating. I initially had a 2 pm reservation but needed to move it to 2:30. No problem. I forgot to add that we had a party of 7 in 3 different vehicles. No problem! The drinks and appetizers arrived quickly. The cheese pizza for the toddler arrived quickly. Cheesy and piping hot. The ordering process was seamless. We were allowed to bring in an outside cake in which they do kindly kept it in the back. Our beautiful waitress brought it out with the candles lit after our dinner plates were collected without a nudge. It was wonderful. I highly recommend Maurizio's! I ordered lasagna which is pretty basic, BUT all restaurants are not created equal so I wanted you to give theirs a try. Yummy.

The best Italian restaurant I've been to in a long time! My dinner at Mauricio's was a pleasant surprise. We were passing through to go to Busch Gardens and decided to eat before going to the park. It was the best decision! First , there's amazing picture opportunities in front of the restaurant, it feels like you are in Italy! I love the Italian car! Dining room is clean and comfortable. I ordered garlic knots which were toasty and amazing . Caprese salad which was fresh and delicious! I also had their spaghetti and pizza. Everything was so yummy! The bakery was out of this world, from lemon cake to cannoli to Italian cookies, wow! Servers were nice and spoke some Italian! It made for an overall outstanding time! I want to go back soon!

First time eating here normally go to His Brothers Pl., Antonio's in James York Plaza. The food was excellent. They made a mistake, but they quickly corrected the issue. The food was excellent. Great customer service only issue overall why I did not give them five stars, they do not offer a military discount nor local residence discount. We're at Antonio's he does. I'm hoping he offers local residents discounts as well as military discount like his brother does. But overall food was good.

We love this restaurant. My favorites are the short rib ravioli and the pasta alla palermitana. They make the pasta fresh. Placing a large family order there was a miscommunication and I accidentally ordered the cheese steak pizza and it's delicious. That happy accident turned into something we order a few times a year. The white pizza is great too. So are the calzones. I love that they offer a side of sauted veggies and salad options. The family meals make for effortless gatherings, complete with garlic knots and salad.

Delicious and wonderful service!! Their gnocchi is my very favorite and the prosciutto wrapped artichokes are delectible!
