Make sure you make reservations. Only have like 8 tables. But they fit us in. I chose chicken parm, it was $22.95, an extra $2 for spaghetti on the side . Ever hear of such a thing. But I purchased since no salad came with dinner. I received a spoon full for $2 . A box cost .88. We also purchased olives and cheese. Very salty. Was given free bread, very good Sauce was a sweet sauce. I personally do not like. But chicken parm was good. My husband ordered frog legs. He loved them but only got 4. I knew he was still hungry so I gave him the rest of my chicken parm. I was not taking home anyway. The ambiance was nice. The white curtains on main window with yellow water stains were not pleasant. Glad we tried the place but will not return. read more

This is regarding the owner's new Ristorante Maya on Seneca Turnpike in New Hartford. It was recommended we make reservations so we did for a Thursday evening. Food is quite good, but I think they are still working out a lot of kinks in managing the dining room. We arrived early but waited to go in until reservation time. Parking was not available so another patron had parked on the grass and we parked next to them. Once winter arrives, I think ppl will end up have to park down Seneca Turnpike and walk back. The paved area isn't sufficient for a full dining room. It is a very modest bar, and a small dining room. There were ppl in front of us who were walk-ins. They mentioned one staff member told them it would be 20 minutes and another said two hours for walk-in. We figured it wouldn't be long for our 2 person reservation. Hmmm. I don't think anyone in particular is greeting patrons or managing reservations. The wait staff seemed to be pitching in as they could. The walk-ins (in front of us in line) were seated at a 2 person booth 20 minutes after our reservation. We objected as the other part of my party had been seated on a Saturday evening, very close to reservation time. The staff member said the walk-ins were waiting longer than those with reservations. As they should. We were seated after an hour past reservation time. Larger parties were seated on time after us, they had reservations 30 min after ours. Those tables had previously been pushed together for a party earlier, and staff didn't separate them for smaller parties that had earlier reservations. We were seated at a small table in front of the kitchen door. Food was quite good. We ordered wine as we arrived to the table as well as the meatball appetizer. Eventually someone stopped with menus. We ordered when someone else stopped at the table. About 50 min later, the entrees arrived. We did get our water glasses refilled. I had ordered haddock and it was fresh and very good. My friend ordered a fresh pasta dish, which was good, although not exactly as they ordered it. During our last hour there, (the owner) Christian Maya's father stopped to speak to us and he had checked in with us a couple times after the entrees were delivered. We really appreciated that attentiveness. So I took a star off for the reservation issues. I took a star off for gaps in service. I'm sure they will be able to improve on these things. For now, I recommend that you wait to go there unless you don't mind a considerable wait for a reservation. read more

I got a hair in my food when I went there. The carpet was stinking the place up. At least the water was cold. Definitely not going back.

Formerly from Herkimer now on Seneca Turnpike New Hartford. Service was excellent. Interior was nicely decorates but they could loose the tacky padding around the top of the bar. I don't understand its significance. I ordered cavatelle with a white sauce and two meatballs. Meatballs were the size of a hardballs tender and really good. Cavatelle was Cooke perfectally but the sauce was quite bland. We ordered a small loaf of bread (upcharge of $2.50). Garlic butter was unevenly spread and there was a gooey cheese drizzled on the hot bread which was completely unnecessary and made it difficult to eat, sticky on the hands and absolutely no flavor. My wife got haddock oreganato which was very good and a side of pasta and red sauce which seemed an afterthought since it was served well after we got our main meals..Finished with an Italian cake with home made whipped cream and flavored with strawberries and a very good cup of coffee. I definitely will be back to try the lobster ravioli. I certainly will give them a chance since they just move to their new location. read more

It's like taking a trip to Italy without leaving Herkimer. Relaxing atmosphere, Excellent Food, Great welcoming service, it's like being serviced by my aunts from Italy, add a nice glass of homemade red wine, man this doesn't get any better than this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Highly recommend, I am going back on Saturday with my brothers, I could sit in this restaurant for hours, but I don't as I would probably weigh 300 pounds by the time I left. Oh yes almost forgot, the Italian deserts, OUT OF THIS WORLD top it off with a cup of hot black Italian coffee, now that's living! read more
