Montemaggiore Italian Restaurant

I came up to Elma for a work trip. I’m from central Texas so the only appropriate thing to do in west NY was to get some Italian food. It was absolutely great. The bread and oil was a first for me and it was amazing. I ordered the small Alfredo. (Remember I’m from Texas and everything is big there and I’m a big boy myself and can put some food away) the portions were huge and I couldn’t finish my plate. I can’t imagine what a large portion would be. Service was prompt! We ordered and in a respectable amount of time the food was out and hot! The waitress asked if I didn’t like mine and I told her no it was great I just didn’t have the room for all of it. Great food, service, and staff! Next time I’m in the area I’ll definitely be returning.

Worth the drive off the highway. We were on our way back to Canada. Just needed a bite to hold us over before we got home. Did not disappoint. The food was delicious! The service was amazing. And the price and amount was very reasonable. We shared a veal dinner! The experience was very pleasant. Will definitely note this on our list of food stop.

If you like SUPER sweet red sauce, you may like this place. I went there for the first time several weeks ago. I went with a large party on a night that was already very busy for the holidays, so I don't know if it is fair to critique the wait staff and kitchen. Our servers were friendly and seemed like they were trying their best to accommodate us, but I think the sheer volume of customers made it hard for staff to keep up. I thought the food that did NOT have red sauce was good - appetizers were hot and crispy, our party said the chicken piccata was good, meatballs were huge and very flavorful. I'm sorry but I really could not stand the red sauce, it was overwhelmingly sweet and one-note. I did not care to finish my dish (eggplant rollatini), which sadly would have been very good if it

I have almost nothing but good things to say about this restaurant. Great service, clean, cozy atmosphere, and good, reasonably-priced food. My one caveat is that the red sauce is much too sweet for my taste. It's like... tomato sherbet or something. Many people love it and they're proud of it. I do wish they'd offer a red sauce option on the opposite end of the spectrum - something that favors savory zest over sweetness.

Thought the food and service were excellent and very reasonable prices, with good sized portions! Tried both of the chefs specialties (chicken Parm platter {chicken with lasagna and stuffed shells} and the lasagna & stuffed shells platter. Just needs a little mood music in the background :-) EDIT: they now have music playing :-). Also tried the chicken fingers and the Sicilan pizza, pics added.
