The service was great.The food was wonderful. I had the grilled calamari appetizer that would change anyone's ewww? to ohhhh?.The seating was spacious, but a little bit loud. If you whisper words of love to your special someone, no one around you will hear, but your special someone may not either.

Fantastic Italian food and great service!

Staff were friendly and so attentive. Dinner music delightful and conducive to conversation. Atmosphere calming and peaceful. Soup, salad and dinner were so delicious. Subtle flavors and not overwhelming.

It was easy to get to, free parking, and very pretty inside. I like sweet wines and the Bianco Bella was perfect. My sister likes more full reds and enjoyed a tasting, especially the Reserve. We went to celebrate two birthdays and had a group of seven. The service was spot in and the food delicious. It was on the expensive side, but worth it to splurge on occasion.

First time dining here and I’ll give it a fair to good. Our group started with clams and oysters Rockefeller. Neither of us were really satisfied as we’re still looking for clams and oysters through the mounds of breading-not good. I had chicken saltimbocca and it was very tasty. Unfortunately another person ordered fish which came out tougher than a Firestone tire. She sent it back and got white fish and also enjoyed it. It’s definitely loud once it fills up and tables seem pretty close in the main dining area. Probably won’t be going back.

Food and wine were great, the open kitchen takes away from the atmosphere a little bit.

Good food and excellent service!! We had a very friendly waitress and a young lady saw my wife had a problem walking so immediately seated us. We had a very slight issue with the meal, and the manager was quick to resolve it! Good going to the crew!!

This was my first time visiting and I was impressed! I understand they're pretty new to this location, be inside was a little bit sparse with the decor but everything else was absolutely stellar! The service was amazing. We were greeted immediately and had a very attentive server. Calmari for the starter was delicious and plentiful. There was only two of us and we were impressed by the amount of calamari we were searched. Dinner was delicious. I had the filet mignon and it was perfect. My partner had a pasta dish and he enjoyed it very much. We each had a glass of Don Giuseppe (I think that was the name of the red wine) and it was perfect. Honestly, a really great experience. Looking forward to returning!

Terrible service on Christmas Eve. Our server had either forget to put our order in or something because somehow three tables who got seated well after us got their food and check before we even got our food. The surf and turf which was over $60 came out wrong temperature with a cold lobster tail and no vegetables (didn’t ask for no vegetables). Server would refuse/ scared to come to our table. Worst service my family has ever had. Will note the the manager took it off our bill, but even that interaction was brief and nothing changed with the service. Been before and won’t be back.

Your Maple Park Restaurant, a MUST GO!! We go out alot n travel. My Husband is a retired Franchise Officer, n I've worked n Managed Restaurants over the years. Extremely disappointed in the Staff, except the Manager. No one smiled, couldn't get dishes to proper persons, reaching across table to ask who has what...tables tooo close for comfort..Needed a "Water" person, n to charge 2.oo for Bleu cheese olives!!!???? I'm sorry, your Bartender was not friendly, we were a group of 6, drinking mixed drinks, watching the Simpsons show, asked for football..she said in a minute..left, took about a half hour..while we knew you closed at 9, turning lights off at 8:30, and we had 11 people for dinner..,not a friendly bar atmosphere either...I'm sorry, very disappointed will not return

This is for their new location since they moved out of Batavia town. It’s a nice enough place with a contemporary feel not very cozy though more of a wide open space. Food is pricey and decent but not amazing or worth the prices they are charging to me at least. We ordered a half dozen baked clams which were good and would order again. We also ordered an artichoke heart appetizer and was just way too cheesy and too rich for both my friend and I and wouldn’t order again. I ordered a salmon dish which was topped with panko bread crumbs and some mashed potatoes and green beans….was good but again not amazing and not worth $29 I could have cooked similar for $10. I don’t think we would go back because spent over $100 and really nothing blew us away and still burping up garlic at 3am. Seems like garlic was used a bit much in all the dishes which can be heavy on your palette and stomach. Maybe a good place for a glass of wine and an appetizer or pizza and salad I remember their salads being nice at their other location. I would say 7.1 out of 10 rating. Order carefully because bill adds up and then may feel not worth what you just spent. Service was good not amazing, but everyone was kind enough but I think 3 out of 5 is fair and accurate rating across the board. I also think we just ordered wrong….should have not ordered the artichoke cheesy appetizer which wasn’t for us and far too heavy and had a salad instead….and maybe split an entree.Vegetarian options: Salads or pizza would be my suggestions.
