For 20 years Maria Pia has been serving fine Italian food to the theater and local crowd in the west 50s. Owned by restaurateur Besim Kutjak who also owns Intermezzo, Lemon Jungle, Il Bastardo, Arte Café, Gallo Nero, Cara Pia, La Carbonara, Zucca, Bocca di Bacco, and Luna Piena (which we recently visited), he must be doing something right. New York Magazine calls this a “can’t go wrong theater district Italian Trattoria for homemade pastas and satisfying entrees” and Zagat says, “Geared to the pre-theater crowd”, this “reliable Hell’s Kitchen red-sauce joint keeps ’em coming back” with top-notch service and a beautiful garden. We will be dining in that gorgeous outdoor heated garden with a fantastic menu including entrees such as rigatoni pollo azzo with chicken and sun dried tomatoes, penne primavera mixed garden vegetables in light garlic and olive oil sauce, chicken parmigiana with tomato sauce and mozzarella, grilled Atlantic salmon with roasted root vegetables, grilled jumbo shrimp skewers with rice pilaf, scallopine picatta sautéed veal loin, white wine, broccoli/potatoes and grilled skirt steak with roasted potatoes and broccoli. Italian desserts and appetizers complete our 3 courses.
