Best Waterfront Restaurants in South Jamaica

Had an amazing dining experience. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the service was top-notch. The food was great—We tried almost everything on the menu and everything was great. Don't leave without getting dessert! Every detail was on point, and I can't wait to come back! Highly recommend!

We were looking for a new place that had great food, service and ambiance. Maiella hit a home run on all three. The menu has so many great options to choose from. The table-side cacio e pepe was one of the best we’ve had. It’s a nice add to have it made right at your table. We had chicken parm and branzino and both were equally delicious. They come with either a side of pasta or vegetables. For desert we had cheesecake and Affogato. This just sealed the deal for for an already amazing meal. Additionally, I am very big on customer service and they make sure they deliver in this area. Anthony , the manager, is a really nice guy. Stopped at our table to ensure everything met our expectations. He shared some stories with us about the restaurant and food. He makes sure all your expectations are met (even exceeded) and what sets this place apart from other restaurants in the area. We look forward to Maiella being a regular place for us and can’t wait to go back and try some other dishes. Lastly, the the ambiance with the views of NYC make this a place you won’t mind sitting for an hour or two. If you haven’t already, definitely try this gem.

My husband and I had a great experience here! The food and ambiance was amazing! This is a perfect date night spot!

Loved this place! We sat outside and the kiddos got to make their own pizza which came with little chefs hats!

Wonderful atmosphere and service. Food was great but more on the pricey side
