Came on a Friday night with no reservation, took about 10 minutes to get seated so not too bad. Unfortunately got seated towards the back but anyone can walk on their pier before or after dining. Food is pretty good, standard Italian spot but with a nice view of the bridges. Parking is pretty weird since it's just one row and one way in and out.
Good food, a beautiful view, and such a great ambiance! My favorite pizza and the calamari are a must-try! And surprisingly, the grilled octopus was perfectly cooked--not rubbery at all! Definitely enjoyed everything! The service is fine; it's just that when we went there, there were a lot of people and the food took a bit longer. But overall we will go back again for more food and view
Hidden little Italian gem of a restaurant tucked away in Whitestone on the water. Great service delicious food and ambience with spectacular views can't wait to come back.
Stopped in for dinner on a Friday evening without a reservation, and we were able to be seated inside without a wait. The meal began with some bread and olive oil which was flavorful, and we had a variety of drinks - the Sunset Sangria was excellent. We stared with the margherita pizza - which had a nice flavor to it, and the grilled octopus salad which my friends enjoyed as well. I had the pesto pasta, and while I had ordered it with fried chicken added, the chicken was not included (and was still on the bill), but the dish was tasty. Others had the whole branzino and the lobster ravioli and enjoyed their meals as well. We finished with the tartufo before having some additional drinks at the bar before heading out. Our server seemed unhappy to be working and could have been a bit more personable or at least put on a smile, but all in all it was a nice dinner and evening.
I had to call 3 times before I was actually able to make a reservation. I went with my two friends to celebrate a birthday. We went Friday night at 6:30 PM. We had to wait for a table for about a half hour. There was a thunderstorm so nobody was able to sit outside (obviously.) The staff was very nice but unorganized. The place is very narrow. It's extremely loud. The food is very, very good. I'm not sure it's worth going back. Standout dishes for me were the octopus appetizer. we ordered 2 other apps Angry shrimp & fried calamari The calamari was not the best I ever had. It was nice and tender, but it was kind of greasy and not crispy enough. Our entrées were all very good. I got their gnocchi and added some shrimp to it. It was delicious. My friend got the ribeye and it was delicious too. My other friend got a chicken dish (I forgot what it's called ) and she enjoyed it as well. The parking situation is a little crazy. There are quite a few spots, but it's very narrow and when a lot of people are trying to come in it's hard to get out. With the amount of tables there are, there should be enough parking, but for some reason, there just isn't. If I lived in the neighborhood, I might frequent this place, but I'm not going out of my way for it. I actually don't live too far from it, but not walking distance.
Maurizio's is a cozy Italian neighborhood spot with great views and great pizza. Went here on a Friday night and it was busy! They served bread and olive oil for the table. We got a drunken Margherita pizza to share which was the best dish of the evening. The combination of the vodka sauce, mozzarella and basil were delicious. The crust was soft, but the base of the pizza was just crisp enough so it wasn't a floppy slice. Highly recommend. I got a tagliatelle fungi which had mushrooms, garlic and shallots in a cream sauce with truffle oil. It was a large portion which was nice. Overall, the pasta was ok-good. There was a lot of oil on top of the pasta (not sure if it was the truffle or olive oil), but it stuck well to the pasta to the point that the pasta wasn't really absorbing the cream sauce since it was oil slicked. We got a creme brulee for dessert, and it was yummy! Get a window seat for the views, get the pizza, and if the weather's good in summer time, they have a nice outdoor seating area to enjoy. We did have great service in this experience, but the entrees did take awhile to come out. Overall the food was ~3.5 stars (with exception of the pizza being 4.5 stars).
Why are we all sleeping on Whitestone, you all?I know it's pretty North, but it really has some awesome places, including Maurizio's. My friend, Laura, suggested we go here thinking it would be nicer and we could sit outside, but even though it's still gloomy this time of year it didn't damper our dinner. We did take a peek outside to check out the view for when we come back in the summer, and it was still stunning. Now the food! We started with Baked Clams and the pear salad. The baked clams were AMAZING. Whole clams, and just the right amount of lemon to taste made this dish amazing. The pear salad was perfection. For the main course we opted for the mushroom pizza, and the Chicken Sorrentino. Usually I feel like a Chicken Sorrentino is in a Marsala sauce but this time it was in a marinara sauce. Almost like a cacciatore. I wasn't mad about it. We would have liked dessert but we had way too much food. But it won't be the last time we come back. The service was impeccable and we really appreciated how at home we were made to feel.
Came here with a restaurant regular who ordered all their best dishes. We were in for quite an experience! First and foremost, the entire crew from the host/greeter to the bartenders and waitstaff were super knowledgeable and friendly. They were quick on all items and got us all dialed in right away as one of our guests was in a rush. Now, the food...the sausage pasta was the best pasta I've ever had and I'll have dreams about this until I return. Close seconds: Ribeye and perchuto/goat cheese pizza. Everything was incredible. Then there's the pier and the view. 10/10 for me!
We started with the lobster ravioli, which was rich, creamy, and packed with generous pieces of lobster. For the main course, the steak was cooked beautifully with a flavorful char on the outside while remaining tender and juicy inside. The grilled vegetables and potatoes complemented it perfectly. We also ordered the shrimp dish, which was fresh, light, and full of bright Mediterranean flavors with tomatoes, garlic, and a delicate broth that paired wonderfully with the shrimp. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and every dish arrived hot and beautifully presented. Between the delicious food, scenic waterfront views, and welcoming ambiance, this is definitely a restaurant I'd return to. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a quality meal by the water, Maurizio's is worth the visit.The waterfront setting created a relaxing atmosphere, making it the perfect spot for dinner.
From unbeatable food to gorgeous views and attentive service, all 5 stars. I usually don't write reviews but this is an exception.
4.5 I think this place is a hidden gem, and I plan on coming back. I came here for a small celebration with my wife, and we were not disappointed. It's tucked away at the end of 154th Street and Powells Cove Boulevard in Beechhurst, right near the Whitestone Plaza (where CVS and North Shore Farms are located). The place is nice -- you walk in and there's a small bar area with the dining area to the right. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. As for the food, it also didn't disappoint. We started with the Baked Clams Oreganata, Rigatoni alla Maurizio, Seafood Fra Diavolo, and Sauteed Broccoli Rabe. Everything was on point. Maybe the broccoli could've used a bit more seasoning, but still, it was very good. I'm definitely planning to come back to try more of their offerings and check out the outdoor area when the weather gets warmer.
We were fortunate to catch a warm, sunny day in October and wanted to dine outdoors. Maurizio's has a deck that extends out over the water and it was a spectacular spot for lunch! We also came back a few days later and ate inside. Beautiful space with lots of natural light. Very good bartender (Bourbon Sidecar was perfectly mixed, and the margaritas refreshing and tasty). Their pasta are very fresh We enjoyed penne alla vodka (added chicken), rigatoni scampi with shrimp (added crumbled sausage -you have option to add several proteins to their pastas), tagliatelle bolognese, and margarita pizza with peppers. Each dish was served hot and fresh, and all were delicious. Their pistachio ice cream and Italian cheesecake are great ways to end the meal. Definitely a place we'll return to, especially when warmer weather comes back!
What a fantastic restaurant! From the time you walk in you know you are in for a special meal. Everyone is so friendly and hospitable! Great vibe and just a very inviting space. The food...excellent! Stuffed shrimp, perfectly cooked. The chicken special was so tasty and a very generous portion. The tiramisu was a cloud of deliciousness. I will be back very very soon!

Maurizio's on the Water donated pasta Romano to our Taste of the World at Fort Totten gala and it was such a comforting and elegant dish. The pasta was perfectly cooked and coated in a rich flavorful sauce that had everyone raving. It was a beautiful showcase of Italian cuisine. I am so thankful to restaurants like Maurizio's for supporting The Center for the Women of New York and the women we serve. They truly care about giving back. If you are looking for a wonderful meal with a great atmosphere, this is your place. Go treat yourself. read more
This is a very unique restaurant on the water in Whitestone with a beautiful view. There is seasonal outdoor seating just outside the restaurant and down a dock. First, I highly recommend reservations, especially for peak times. The restaurant was packed on a Friday evening around 7pm and thankfully, the host squeezed us in but it took some time for her to figure out if she could even accommodate us. For a beautiful atmosphere, celebration or special occasion, this restaurant is a great choice. If you're only going for the food, I don't think it's worth it. Italian food is delicious but I believe there are better restaurants elsewhere. However, the food will satisfy you and you won't leave hungry. The portions are enormous so you're definitely getting value. We were disappointed in the truffle fries, which were soggy and I think breaded, which is unusual. The Caesar salad was delicious, as was the pizza. Otherwise, the food was average. Again, if you're celebrating something special, I think this restaurant would be great. The two seater table at the end of the dock would be absolutely amazing for a proposal or intimate dinner for two. read more

The menu choices were varied and entree preparation was fresh... WHEN the food finally reached our table! Designed like a two-lane bowling alley, upon entry past a short liquor bar, we were seated on one side of a looong dining room. Apparently those "in the know" either ask for, or are escorted to, the "far" end of the room where the only windows and outdoor patio resides. Add a 15-seat birthday crowd and a variety of pretentious local characters on the boardwalk tables and be prepared to watch plate after plate of food sail quickly passes your table as if it was an airport runway. Praise the 2 lovely waitresses who must have been their first and last day on the job that never expected to work so hard. Special nod to the muscular chef assistant who diligently plowed his way down the alley with three plates on each arm to the lucky bunch due north. We sat 15 minutes staring at a bread basket before ordering drinks and another 20 before their arrival. 30 minutes and an empty bread basket later we were graced with our waitress. Guess how long our meals took, only to arrive incomplete and our own birthday guest staring at nothing for another 20 minutes. No management sauntering table to table as one reviewer wrote. No offer of a free dessert at least and to be fair it's not handicapped friendly for our 97-year old mom to walk the mile of shame back to the parking lot. Bring your own help. read more

I have been considering this place for some time since it is close to my home, and I intended to try it someday. Today, I finally visited, and I was pleased with the experience. The food we ordered was prepared excellently and tasted so awesome. The environment is welcoming, and the service was outstanding. They also have a patio for outdoor seating that opens during the summer, offering scenic views of the water and Throggs Neck Bridge. I am happy to recommend this place to my friends and family. We will definitely come back. read more

Truly recommend enjoying this beautiful restaurant looking at the Whitestone and Throgs Neck Bridge while enjoying a great meal! read more

My first time here and I came across it by accident. Couldn't make reservation (1- they weren't accepting and 2- phone line wasn't working) but they just opened less than a month ago. But knowing that the food was good. I want to say 95% of the staff was super friendly and polite. Had one or two of the runners that seemed impatient or English wasn't their first language and seemed to say things that came out pretty rude. But I wasn't going to write them off for that. My server Jules and the owner made up for it though. They were attentive and kept apologizing for wait times, mixed up orders but was consistently checking to see how we were doing. The atmosphere overall was peaceful and enjoyable. Will definitely return and recommend. Please give them a chance as they are just getting their ducks together. This will be a great addition to keep in this area. Good luck and looking forward to returning soon. read more

Maurizio's on the Water is a fantastic new addition to the neighborhood. Beautiful waterfront setting, delicious Italian food, and friendly, attentive service. We loved the baked clams, calamari, orecchiette with broccoli rabe, and rigatoni with peas and sausage. Don't skip on the crème brûlée or Italian cheesecake. We'll definitely be back! read more
