31/01/2026: Exactly what I needed after a long, busy day at the fair: smiles and good food. I called while riding the subway on Saturday at 8:30 PM, and they seated me, even though the place was full and I was alone. I was tired and listless, just wanted to eat and go to bed. But the owner greeted me with a smile and remembered that I had called her. The young man who set the table for me was very kind, the waitress who took my order even better, and the waiter who brought my order was also kind and smiling. I could have ordered food and wine for hours. I'd been craving mussels for a week, and when they appeared on the menu, they obviously overcame their craving for pizza. So I ordered mussels marinara and a focaccia to mop up the sauce. Both were excellent. No wonder the place was packed. Many of the customers looked like regulars. I forgot about being tired, and I don't like dining alone. I wasn't even bothered by the buzz that normally bothers me, because I have a problem with noise. An authentic place, worth a detour even if it's not near your house or hotel. I'll be back. Thanks.
29/01/2026: Lunch break at Maruzzella. Reservations are essential, and that's already a plus. It's a busy place, offering a wide range of business lunch options, from starters and main courses to pizza, without limiting the choice to just a few dishes.
The food at Maruzzella is good; the only worry is the thought of having to hurry to make way for the diners waiting in line. The cash register is a nightmare, and one that needs to be approached with confidence.
You'll get there sooner or later.
The location doesn't impact the service, and that speaks volumes about the quality.
