Osteria Maria - Front Royal

I was hungry and weary after a two week stretch from hell and a long, hot day. The focaccia transported my mind and palate to a garlicky Italian paradise.The gramigna cacio e pepe (add the guanciale, it's worth it! was probably the best pasta I've ever tasted, and it has inspired me to come back to try everything on the menu in the future.The tiramisu is the best I've had since a friend from Rome made some right in front of me many years ago. Pretty much a perfect restaurant all around. I think after years of obsessive exploration of Mexican food I will begin a new era of exploring more of Italian cuisine. Osteria Maria will be remembered as the catalyst.Clearly there's a lot of love put into everything at Osteria Maria and I hope the family and restaurant remains successful for many years to come.

We love Osteria! Amazing meal every time and fabulous service. The tiramisu is especially AMAZING!

Incredible food and friendly service! I had the puttanesca, which was the perfect mix of salty and spicy. The gorgonzola gnocchi and cacio e pepe were flavorful and delicious. The stuffed mushrooms were also terrific. Our party of 8 was thoroughly satisfied. Highly recommended!

Osteria Maria was recommended by several of the local wineries and we are SO glad we took their advice!!! We arrived for an early dinner due to other plans and glad we did. By the time we left it was full.The food was absolutely AMAZING and the service was impeccable! My wife and I both had the special; brisket ravioli with a parmesan cream sauce. Hands down one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. The tiramisu was to die for.I cannot recommend this place enough!!! If you’re in Front Royal this is a MUST stop!!!

For my mom’s birthday this weekend, we four kids and our sweet spouses took her to Osteria Maria for dinner. It is a little gem. The service was lovely, and the presentation beautiful. Between the nine of us, we tried a lot of appetizers and I’ll admit, that grilled octopus was delicious. All the entrees were authentic and mouth watering. It was a great experience! We look forward to visiting again and again
