Maria's Italian Kitchen

Small quaint spot.. tried it for the first time with my wife and a couple of friends... everyone got different plates , and everyone enjoyed their food... I ordered ravioli with beef sauce and added sausage chunks delicious

Got the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, so good with bread. The server seemed as if this was his first Rodeo. Nice place to be on a rainy day. Looks as if the place had been there for a while. A lot of famous people on the wall. Felt very cozy, and I will go back.

Wow! Sunday March 24, 2024 4pm. Its been awhile since I have had to deal with such a Nasty girl in public but at Marias in Pasadena I had to be insulted and disrespected by a girl named Denise. I ordered a small order to go and asked for a piece of bread or 2 to come with my order and she said No. You can get 4 pieces for $1.00 and you can pay $1.00. I am not going to get in trouble or lose my job over you for free bread. Ok I said. Yikes what a bad attitude. Ive gotten a piece or 2 before from nicer people than you I guess. Yikes, This made her very mad. I was basically trying to have her loosen up and not be so nasty. And I know other employees do not like her too. I handed her my credit card and she refused to hand it back. I said can you hand me my credit card like I handed it to you out of respect and she said No. You already said I wasnt nice so you will say I handed it to you and cause an issue about that too. Huh? WOW! What a mouth Denise has. So, lets stand at the counter and she can & will continue to insult me until I get my order. Im almost 70 so Denise working in the public, able to lash out at customers is shocking. I looked inside the bag for plastic silverware and of course none and no napkin. So I asked the young man for it and Denise said, you have to ask for it. Its against the law for me to give it to you without you asking. Hmmm, not one other restaurant has ever told me that in the last few years. Not one. Only Marias Italian restaurant in Pasadena. Was her meanness and disrespect necessary? I dont think so. Obviously she hates her job and needed to lash out. She showed me. Denise showed me with a smirk on her face that she can say whatever she wants and there are no consequences. She showed me that I contribute to her paycheck no matter her actions. She showed me..she thinks. Beware people, youve been warned. The young tall man at the counter was very sweet.
