If you merely want a sanctuary of satiation, then try to finish the Three Meat Lasagna ($14.95). Your eyes and instincts tell you that a pillow has been delivered to the table. You must consider whether to eat it or rest your head upon it.

Layers of flat pasta-lengths are interwoven among horizontal rows of crumbled cooked veal, beef and pork. Melted mozzarella, provolone and parmesan cheeses slip lava-like in every direction in between the layers. All of the above is drenched in a red sea of sauce which looks as if only Moses could part.

I think El needs to change his career to restaurant critic

I go to Maria's all the time and love it. Very friendly, good food, easy parking, nice wine. . . Try to meet Maria or her daughter, Ann. They are terrific. I love the Tuscany Chicken (w/ broccoli rabe & white beans.) Don't go expecting, you know, baked ziti: It's Northern Italian cuisine.

We are big fans of Maria's. Good service, food and location.

I LOVE maria's - and I had the lasagna - and it was two meals for me. I love the live music and the quaint romantic atmosphere. We plan to go there again very soon.

I was at Maria's last week. Very good food and big portions.

I see never posted back. It was the first restaurant in roxborough I was impressed with. Good food, large portions, friendly service...even some nice jazz in the bar area. I took the nine bus up there and walked back (30 min or so). would def go back.
