I absolutely love this restaurant. Last night I had the ribeye steak, followed by tiramisu. The staff is amazing and super friendly, the atmosphere is beautiful in its concrete simplicity - it has a very European vibe. Can highly recommend!

One of my favorite spots at the moment! Food is amazing, you have to try their specialty pasta Cavatelli alla Lollo! Just wow! Of course the pizza is amazing too! Totally in love with this place. Exceptional service and great atmosphere!

One of the best restaurants I’ve eaten at in nyc. The lowkey clean film-artsy aesthetic lent to the experience. The food was perfectly salted and seasoned. Steak melted in my mouth and the service was friendly and prompt.

I wanted to gatekeep Maretta but I won't! Went for dinner on a Saturday night and Nico (the owner) found us a table right away. We started off with classic dirty martinis, which were so delicious we ordered more. For apps, we got the melon prosciutto, the prawns, and the lardo milk bread. All were delicious but the standout was the lardo. Order it; it's worth the calories. For entrees, we got the bronzino, the oxtail ragu, and the pizza bianca. I'm not usually a fan of pizza but this one was so fresh! The bronzino though was the favorite: buttery, flaky, and melts in your mouth and the skin was charred to perfection. We finished off our meal with the creme brulee, which came with sugar cookies that were so good they could have been a dessert on their own. We ended the meal with some amaro local to our server's hometown in Italy, which warmed us up enough to go back outside in the freezing cold. Great experience overall, very reasonably priced, and friendly people all around!

Fantastic Chicken. We just had an early dinner and ordered its Pollo dish. So juicy, seasoned, perfectly cooked. Friendly and prompt service too.

Maretta is a such a gem! Gorgeous bar, sleek minimalist, chic yet inviting. The staff is warm and attentive. Such a cool vibe. Drinks are superb. Wine list is very well done. The warm bread fresh from the oven with real olive oil was my first clue this was going to be a superb meal. Do not miss the mussels dish they were the best I've had in a long time! The steak is fantastic and honestly a bargain, with delicious fries and sauce. The pasta has never disappointed, pappardelle was a banger. Such a great addition to the neighborhood! Thank you Nico, Andy and Luigi!

A most excellent experience. Just what the East Village needs. European flare. Music and atmosphere was excellent. Definitely try the mussels and their pizza was fantastic. Great place for a date night. We will be back. Thanks for bringing such a great dining option to our neighborhood.

Super cute Italian restaurant with delicious pasta ! I got the mafaldine mushroom pasta and it was perfect; loved the pistachio martini as well. Our waiter was very helpful and service was great.
