    Chicken Marsala
    Kevin C.

    Did the food live up to the hype? No. Sadly, our visit to Maria's was not the visit we had hoped for. Our server was... well, I'm not sure how to put it, let's just say he didn't seem to be present at work that day, but we roll with punches around here, and we ordered our food. I absolutely loved the teriyaki wings. They were cooked perfectly. The sauce was great, and my only critique would be the blue cheese, which was not the same quality as the wings themselves. The bread service was terrible. I am not exactly sure what kind of bread that was supposed to be, but it was improperly cooked and tasted very bitter. We were able to jazz it up with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar that was left on the table. I ordered the margarita pizza and was excited because of all the buzz around the pizza at Maria's. It was fine. It just wasn't the quality of pizza I was looking for. The sauce was fresh and had a great tomato flavor, but lacked any sort of spice of any kind. The crust was decent. It was probably the best part of the pizza. That cheese was a good flavor, but one bite and the whole cheese was coming off with the pizza into your mouth. The tomatoes were cut a little too thick so they didn't get quite cooked well enough on top of the pie. My friends marsala also lacked in flavor. The sauce was missing that delicious wine element and it was kind of on the bitter side. It wants to be marsala, but it's not. I have to give extra credits to the manager who came around and talked to us and took our critiques seriously. One thing we did forget to mention was that their booths are like sitting on the gym bleachers in high school and for any extended period of time they can become increasingly uncomfortable. I could see maybe how some people enjoyed Maria's, it just wasn't for us, so keep an open mind. Maybe Maria's is for you and maybe it's not but you have to give them a try to find out.

    Large cheese pizza! Delicious!!

    My four children and I stopped in on a whim and a for lunch and WOW! The pizza was delicious (I get so tired of pizza because my kids always want it- but this was amazing!)! T he cheese was ooey gooey- the spaghetti and meatballs were super tasty (sauce was lovely and obviously homemade). The bread and salad were tasty and fresh. To top it off the service was attentive and kind (even with four regrats ;) ). There is an attached donut/gelato place and they give a discount to patrons who have a Maria's receipt (this place also has daily deals!). 1000% recommend!

    Omg this place was so delicious! I saw this place on social media & I'm so glad we decided to go! The pizza was absolutely delicious. Definitely some of the best pizza I've had. The crust was the perfect texture - chewy but not too chewy. We got the Mediterranean pizza which has garlic & olive oil as the base & I highly recommend. The sausage tasted so fresh and flavorful. The pizza had so much cheese which is always a plus with pizza (or any food really). The service was great even though we had to wait a little bit to be seated because it was busy. The owner also came around to make sure everything was good. There's a good amount of seating but it does get crowded - definitely worth the wait though. Parking is easy because there's a parking lot. Definitely on my restaurant list when we come to visit the beach again!

    Mediterranean Pizza
    Ike N.

    We stopped by here for a quick meal. The service was good all around and we were sat pretty quick. The Mediterranean Pizza was really good. I got it without olives and added pepperoni which was a great decision. Probably one of the best pizzas I've had in a while. The toppings and cheese tasted really fresh. Every slice had an instagram worth cheese pull. The crust was also the perfect consistency with just enough crunch but soft on the inside.

    Ham and Cheese Calzone
    Donna K.

    We were in the area and decided we wanted pizza. I checked Yelp and Maria's had the best ratings. Glad we stopped. We walked in and placed an order for pizza and calzone. They had a special so we added wings. Service was quick and I have to say this is the best pizza I have found in the area. The wings had good flavor and the perfect crunch. The only things I would change are personal preference - the calzone tomato sauce was too chunky and the calzone could have used more ricotta. Everything else was very good and we will be making Maria's our new pizza stop.

    Right outside of the bridge into Ocean Isle Beach near the Eagles shop, in a plaza with ample parking. Outside and inside seems real nice, I ordered take out so don't have much to comment. The ordering process was simple, you can call in or do online. Staff was friendly and food was ready at the time stated. The pasta pescatore I ordered was a little bland but still good. The focaccia bread was delicious! The hot and habanero flavored wings were also tasty, with good ranch provided. I would order from here again if I'm back in the area! Prices are in the moderate range for dinner but you get big portions in my opinion so it's worth it.

    Pasta Pestacore
    Patricia T.

    The service was good, we got seated fast, and our food came out fast as well. I ordered the Pasta Pescatore; the sauce was mid , although not usually a fan of tomato sauce based pastas. I did enjoy the shrimps, they were the most tasty and the portions were enough to fill me up. It was a little pricey but maybe I'd go again to try their pizza.

    I heard the pizza was over the top here but it really was. First off, Mondays are half off of a bottle of wine so the place was packed with patrons having vino. We tried the meatball app - those were delicious. But the pizza was so good. We tried the ricotta, garlic, basil and tomato pizza. Wowza! And the crust was perfecto! The ricotta was creamy and garlicky. I mean you have to try it - it's that's simple. We also ordered the mediterrran pizza. YUM!!!! Loaded with olives, sausage, red pepper and onions. The flavor was delicious. I was really impressed with this place. And our server was great and tentative.

    Do they take reservations? Are reservations need on Monday at supper? Do they still Have the Monday night special?

    I don't think you need to make reservations, to be on the safe side, you should call them directly.

Still one of the best restaurants on the island and has been there and consistent for many years. I just wish they still had their pizza on the menu. Was the best on the island. Great place!

    My family lives on Sunset Beach and Ocean Island, and when I come down 3x a year, we get together…read morefor a group that can be up to 10 for dinner. I have eaten at Roberto's probably three dozen times. This past Friday we did again, with a smaller party of six. The two that had chicken picatta were over the moon. I had a salmon "Mediterranean" that I couldn't tell was salmon. Overcooked with no color to the fish at all. The flavors were great. (I had the same dish at 584 in Burlington three nights later, but it was definitely salmon.) The continuing issue at Roberto's is service. Our server was spread out over both ends of the restaurant, and I think everyone took the hit, including the server. The floor manager needs to rethink the floor plan. Stuff that should be basic (grated cheese for pasta?) was not given until I went to the desk and asked for some. The Bar: a continuing and inexcusable problem. WHY is there a single bartender for both bar and table service? We were asked for our dinner orders while we were waiting for our drinks!, which were ordered when the menus dropped. C'mon! It's supposed to be a flowing process, and this has ALWAYS been a problem. (Waiting for a glass of wine for 10 minutes?). Overall : the Chef (always visible) clearly has enthusiasm for his menu, and it is good! But this restaurant should be better.
