Lovely setting and beautiful food perfect for myself and my partner.We will be visiting again in the near future.Already recommended to family and friends.Thank you
Amazing food and hospitality! I will definitely go back and recommend to everyone! The staff couldn't do enough for us, and then the food was incredibly tasty. Also very good value for money, it surprises me that it's not fully booked continuously!
Very pleasant and accommodating restaurant. Location is a problem as parking is a no-no out front and the side streets but on the whole it's worth the hassle. The menu quite comprehensive if you like chicken, otherwise go for the vegetarian if you want choice. Will go again is only for the antipasto board
Food was very tasty, and portions were good. Service was also very good. The setting was relaxed, all in all would be happy to comeback and recommend
Disapointing.....large very noisy group which spoiled the evening. Food average. I was expecting more of an Italian feel with Italian waiter or waitress. Would not rush back
Service was excellent nice chatty waitresses, restaurant was really clean and great atmosphere, food was really good except our steaks were over cooked. I would come back as the menu is really extensive and the portions are huge.
A very pleasant Italian restaurant with lovely friendly staff. The food was good and the house wine very drinkable. We will definitely return in the not too distant future.
This was our fourth time st this restaurant. The food and service was excellent as always. Would highly recommend. Mid priced restaurant well worth the money
Lovely food, good value and excellent attentive service. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal. Would recommend if you're after nice food in a casual ambiance.
My boy friend and I had a great time and tasty meals there. The service was excellent. The food was quite good. I think we would come back.

Very friendly service and the food was lovely. We didn't realise just how much we ordered but everything was really nice and we ate it all! We had such a great evening. Definitely would go again.
Excellent food, attentive staff. Their pasta is excellent though I had a chicken parmigiana this time which was also very good. Well worth a visit.
The food was excellent and the portions were very generous. The service was amazing. The waitress was lovely and friendly. I will definitely be returning again.
Wonderful service, lovely atmosphere, food was freshly made and hot on the plate, delicious and a good serving. Went home feeling full and happy. A truly special little gem in Harborne.
Unfortunately we were sat at front of restaurant & every time someone entered we were greeted with a cold breeze, not conducive to a relaxing meal. Food was good but service was a bit slow. Also was very noisy on the night we visited due to a large party and as the restaurant is only small was a bit overbearing.
Booking was very straight forward and quick, followed by a personal message from Maria. As it was Valentine's day, the menu was limited but we liked our choices, albeit the two desserts were both chocolate based. Service was friendly and attentive.
Really lovely food- authentic, quick and really enjoyable. I have already recommended this restaurant to friends and family. We will be back again very soon
Visited on a saturday evening. The food was good, lots on the menu. Service very good. Price about right but bottled beer a bit pricey.
Great atmosphere, lovely, helpful service and delicious food and wine. I have never had so much seafood in a Frutti di Mare pasta dish and my friend's veggie dish was lush! Will certainly return!!
Me and my husband went there for a New Year's Eve meal, Food was amazing, staff were very friendly, it was an overall great night!
The food was great value for money and very generous in portion size. The food was amazing, the service great and the ambience was lovely, could not ask for more. Have recommended friends, family and other work colleagues to come here.
Great menu and very good food. A very cool and enjoyable ambience along with very pleasant and helpful staff. Will be definitely going there again.
A small pleasant Italian restaurant on Harborne High Street. We have now dined here on three occasions and always enjoyed the food which is very reasonably priced and there's a good choice of dishes. Would definitely recommend it.
Food was OK, good holsome Italian food, but nothing to rave about. The service was however exceptionally good. Would certainly go there again. Good, good, good
Really nice meal and very friendly staff. It was not too expensive and the wine was good value for money and an easy drink. A most enjoyable evening
Very nice evening. Food very good, good menu, staff and service excellent. Reasonable prices. We definitely go back again. This was our second time and enjoyed the experience.
small and Cody restaurant with good choice of nenu. There were 7 in our party and we had a variety of different dishes. The food and service were good.
The service was slow but friendly. The food tasted very nice but was oddly piping hot, a bit like when you microwave something but I'm sure they didn't. I probably won't go back but others should definitely try it.
First time at this restaurant and we were really impressed. Staff were lovely, food was delicious, portions were generous and excellent value for money - we will definitely be back! I have already recommended it to my friends.
The staff were so lovely, they were friendly, tentative and seemed to genuinely want us to enjoy the night. The food was absolutely delicious, would definitely go back!
We had fabulous food at a reasonable price. It is our kids favourite restaurant in Harborne - beating Prezzo and PE in their minds. Yet it is a proper night out for parents too.
We came here for my partners birthday with his teenage children and all went home very happy. The waitress was very attentive and the food was outstanding. This is the best Italian food I have tasted in England. We will definitely be coming back here again soon :)
Food was excellent and the interior was nice the only thing I can say bad is they were a little slow to bring the bill apart from that excellent food and service
Well thought out menu - something for everyone - and a very good choice for vegetarians. Service pitched just right - an authentic Italian dining experience in a foodie hotspot of Birmingham. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant.
Yet another great meal. Took our friends for the first time they are ready to return. Booked online ,again faultless. Many thanks to all for making this a great night out.
Great food, wine and friendly waitress. Would highly recommend. The interior decoration was also very impressive and also added to the relaxing atmosphere created by the waitress.
Really tasty food and welcoming staff - at reasonable prices. Possibly not the most atmospheric room but I would certainly go again and recommend it.
Really great food, chicken Parma was great and the salmon salad is always fab. So friendly to children, it looked loads bigger without the big chairs in the window.
Such a lovely authentic restaurant and so different from the other Italian chains. A great menu to choose from. Staff were friendly. We only had time for a main but the service was quick, a good Portion and it was hot and tasty. Will definitely be going back!
Lovely little restaurant. The service was excellent, nice ambiance and good food. This was the second time we have been and both times everyone in our company enjoyed their meals. There is plenty of competition in Harborne and this little place holds their own. We will be returning.
Service was excellent and the children's meals are all freshly cooked, their pasta was really good, but too much for the children to finish. We will use them again.
A very nice meal, the food was good, the staff were attentive and the surroundings were pleasant. The only negative was that the drinks were a little bit pricey but dont let that deter you booking.
This restaurant was very welcoming and friendly. The food and ambience were very good. We went the night before Halloween and the restaurant was trimmed up and the staff were also dressed up but they were not intrusive with it. Would highly recommend this place to family and friends
Our first visit to Maria's Emporio was a delightful experience. Staff were attentive and the food was wonderful. we will be visiting again in the near future.
Excellent food and service. Lovely authentic Italian restaurant we really enjoyed ourselves and couldn't fault the food at all! Our main meal took a while to come out which we didn't notice as we were too busy drinking wine and chatting but the waitress brought us over a bowl of olives to nibble on while we waited which was nice.
We always have a great eating experience at Emporio Maria! The service is great and the food is hand made cooked exactly how you like it. They cater for anybody with food intolerances. The staff are friendly and polite they are not pushy in any way. A great night out was had by us in this wonderful restaurant.
The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The menu is extensive and the portions are large. We booked a table but there was no need, although it was quite early in the evening. The staff are pleasant and the service was good.
As always another superb meal and excellent service and a surprise special treat for my daughter on her 21st Birthday - Thankyou very much Maria
