Maroni Cuisine

traveled over from Connecticut by boat on a crisp October evening. we were lucky enough to get the cozy room with fabric on the walls so conversation was intimate. then the food starting coming. all small bites. all delicious. the owner stopped in to talk from time to time. felt like a family dinner with good friends (owner & staff). still floating from that wonderful expeience

You can’t beat the atmosphere at Marino’s. Intimate, lively, cool interior design, nice rock n roll. It’s a fun place to go with a group of couples. Tasting menu was very interesting but also a little haphazard. Sushi and meatballs in the same menu was odd. Seemed to start with a Japanese bent, though with a lobster bisque cup. Then went hard into Italian American. So if you’re looking for a theme, there is not one. But if your looking to get full with a variety of tastes and a fun vibe, they do it well. It’s a destination restaurant for a reason.

This is a true tasting menu! Delicious food that can fit any palette (nothing too fancy for those that aren't adventurous) and so much food and wine we were stuffed! Loved it and would definitely come back. Service especially was exceptional and we loved everything but the bacon (which just wasn't what we expected but of course eaten!).

A group of us ate at Maroni last night. We did the tasting menu. I have alpha gal and am not able to eat many of the tasting menu items. We called a couple days earlier to explain my allergies. Every time they brought a tasting course to the group they brought me mine own with the foods I’m allowed to eat. They went way above and beyond to make me my own courses and it was amazing !!! And I really appreciated that!! My husband wanted to note his food was delicious too especially the oyster ! Thanks so much for a great time with great food

Last night was my first time at highly lauded Maroni’s Cuisine. I checked their menu online before heading out and saw their spaghetti and “famous meatballs” priced at $16.00 and thought, “wow, that’s really reasonable.” Walked into the place with my wife and was immediately informed the restaurant doesn’t take credit cards - only cash. “Is that alright” I’m asked. I say yeah, cause fortunately I had enough cash on me. After being seated, I check the menu and to my surprise, the spaghetti and famous meatballs are now priced at $32.00. I’m not a huge Italian food guy, so I’m not used to paying $32.00 for spaghetti. But so be it. I ordered a dozen baked clams as an appetizer for me and my wife at $24.00. Clams came and they were so tiny the width of the dinner fork’s prongs were wider than the width of the clam shells. Anyway, food was satisfactory. I guess the best part was the rock memorabilia on the walls, especially the John Lennon stuff (I’m a big Lennon fan) and hearing Tom Petty and Mike Campbell’s “Refugee” blaring from the speakers. ,

One of the most enjoyable dining experiences, what a treat! It’s very evident that a lot of thought and care went into every menu item as well as the restaurant’s decor and ambiance. The food was incredible and the staff ensured we had a great evening. Highly recommend.

Been going here forever. Still a great restaurant. Never fails.

The chef's tasting menu, while a little pricey per person ($195), is an unbelievable experience. The wine is constantly flowing and the food is amazing. Always service with a smile. This is a once a year kind of thing cuz you'll be more than full after you leave.

My third year and probably our new tradition for my birthday. Again, another 13 courses and delicious. They made so much amazing modifications for me and my seafood allergy, but my husband got to eat all the seafood he wanted. He loved every bite and said I was missing out lol. Some of the same things from last year and some new ones! Looking forward to next years birthday celebration and coming back!

Mixed feelings. Difficult to review. Lands around 3-4 stars, closer to 3. The menu doesn't follow a theme. Some items felt out of place. The food ranged from good to great, we had a nice night doing something different, but the whole night did not feel worth the hefty price tag of $195 per person. What's more, my experience did not match others based on word of mouth. It seemed like the format has changed, perhaps in response to inflation. During our stay, there were only 3 tables occupied in total on a prime Friday night in summer. Over the course of 2 hours, we received wine, 13 small plates described below, a choice of chicken or zucchini Parmesan as an entree, dessert, and espresso. Below is what each person at our table received. I've rated each item out of 5: - Lobster bisque in an espresso mug (5/5) - 1 oyster, 1 shrimp (3/5) - 2 pieces of lobster salad sushi roll (3/5) - 1-inch truffle grilled cheese (5/5) - Half piece of fried sea bass with white wine sauce (5/5) - 1-inch pastrami egg roll (3/5) - 1 mini Kobe beef slider and 3 tater tots (2/5) - 1 Korean style rib with gummy bear garnish (5/5) - 1 piece chicken Madeira (3/5) - 1 fried quail egg on a crostini (3/5) - 1 potato chip with caviar and crème fraîche (4/5) - 2 pieces shrimp scampi with green beans (4/5) - Ravioli with creamed cauliflower sauce (5/5) The entree was a piece of chicken parm, spaghetti, and 2 meatballs to share. The dessert plate (shared) included: - a small ramekin of crème brûlée - 1/4 of a chipwhich - 1/4 of a chipwhich dipped in chocolate - toasted marshmallow over chocolate mousse I inquired if they had coffee and was told espresso was available. We ordered 1, and also requested hot tea. The tea was Lipton - it struck me as a surprisingly cheap choice. When leaving, we received two complimentary containers of meatballs and sauce. Sorry to say we did not enjoy the meatballs, which I know they're known for... In total, a strange eclectic experience. If you're a heavy drinker (we aren't) it could easily be worth the price tag since alcohol is included in the flat fee.

After eating at Maroni's a week ago, I have been really putting off how to review it because I've been truly processing it. There aren't many tasting menu options in the area, to start. So I was pumped to find this place which offers ~16 courses for $195/person. It is cash only (or check), which is strange, but includes tip/tax and unlimited wine. The experience ultimately is fascinating. I was expecting a very Italian-influenced night, which at times it was. However, when you walk in you walk into 1960s UK music/decorations (apparently the owner is a big Beatles fan), which really does not seem to connect to the food. The decor is all in line with this. The tables are cozy, which wasn't an issue for us as the place was about 50% full when we went. In terms of the food, this is also so confusing to me. The following description will be a description of the nonsensical and random chain of events that was the tasting menu. Started with a teacup of lobster bisque, which was lovely (no lobster meat, fine). Then this "medallion" of caviar, which I could've done without. Followed by a California roll, which was fine but seemingly so random (why sushi in an Italian restaurant?). This is when I knew the menu would not really make sense/follow any sort of theme. Oysters and shrimp next. Korean short ribs with a singular gummy bear on top? The rib was fine but I truly have never eaten a heated gummy bear and am not sure I ever wanted to. Kobe beef slider-this was maybe a highlight- with a Heinz packet and 2 tater tots each-strange but delicious. At some point, someone walked around with truffle grilled cheese bites. This was probably my favorite course. Back to courses. Green eggs with a crostini. Pastrami egg roll (this was the most random to me and truly was not well done, why are we putting pastrami in an egg roll?), chicken dish, ravioli, etc. We ended with meatballs and spaghetti. This was told to be the star of the restaurant and really was not. The spaghetti was very much fine. I was a little disappointed by the meatballs, which they give you to send home with. Dessert wise, there was a chipwich, mousse, and Crème brûlée. The first two were great! The latter, meh. The service was excellent and they were really interested in refilling your drinks. Ultimately, I probably wouldn't pay to go back. Or buy the meatballs to go. It's such a strange tasting menu....If you're without other options in the area it's a solid choice if you live/are staying nearby!

Absolutely avoid tasting menu if you have dietary restrictions or an allergy. I gifted this tasting menu and was assured that the chef would accommodate a dairy allergy. The allergy was noted when the reservation was made and a week before to remind them. Instead of accommodating with an alternative, they just skipped six courses for one person- no alternate or explanation! Horrible and awkward for someone to get food and the other person left excluded. For $400, just go enjoy a meal at the northport hotel around the block!

Apparently Maroni's is known for their tasting menus with many courses. We randomly stopped in and were offered the option to dine a la carte, which we gratefully accepted once we confirmed we had enough cash (they only accept cash or check). Our meals arrived quickly, and everything was fresh and delicious. The duck was the largest and meatiest (no fat) portion I've ever had in my life! The glaze was sweet, and I absolutely loved mixing it into the mashed potatoes. The asparagus was slightly charred, which was unexpected and very good. I'm not sure I could make it through their full tasting, but I would definitely return to dine again. Our server was very kind. We left a tip, but have come to learn they do not expect a gratuity!

Maroni!!! Wild Boar Parmsean is delicious!!! Donna took great care of us!! Like Arnie I'll Be Back!!

The customers are streaming into Maroni. Inside all hands are on deck with at least ten people and the counters and tables are lined with to go bags for their in demand Italian food. At Holiday time take out is big biz in this tiny special place. Take out Christmas Eve, Eve.. 23rd is the last day they are open for pick up. Picked up some delicious food to add to the holiday. And... drop off at friends for good cheer. Every year we bring the same thing to my best friends, best friend and they love it.

Maroni is one of our go to places for a special dinner (anniversary, birthday, valentine's day, etc). We've been here at least 7 times and it never disappoints. They always keep the drinks full, service is always great and they usually surprise you with a few passed courses- meaning you could eat anywhere between 13-18 courses of food. Highlights are always the million dollar potato chip, lobster bisque (we always take a quart home with us), the kobe beef slides, and the gummy bear spare rib. This time we also thoroughly enjoyed the passed truffle grilled cheese (I asked them to bring us seconds which they kindly did).

Went to celebrate a birthday and did the tasting menu. Everything, every single course, is delicious. This may be an Italian restaurant but you will get sushi, Korean bbq ribs with a gummy bear on top, oysters, shrimp, etc. They are also known for their meatballs and well deserved. They are absolutely delicious. The restaurant has a music theme with photos and memorabilia from The Beatles, The Who, Pink Floyd, etc. They used to have multiple rooms but when we went they only had the main room open which had about 8 tables so it was very intimate. Service excellent, waitress asked if we had any food or diet restrictions and always topped off our drinks. Overall I would highly recommend for a special occasion and don't forget to order meatballs to go. You get a cute red pot with the meatballs.

Hugh disappontment. Let me summarize based on my familes experience. My wife, a vegetarian who told them in advance had few and limited choices. While we were served our first course of a sprinkle of soup, she got nothing. Her first course was a small piece of grilled cheese the size of a cheezits followed by 4 pieces of veggie sushi (that was for my wife and I (I eat fish). Next was carrots and celery sticks( food I'd expect at a bar not a high end cuisine ) then a slice of tomatoe and mozzarella , string beans and mashed potatoes and finally eggplant parm. granted it was the early seating but for 140 bucks it was just another example of how restaurants are still using the covid excuse to charge more and serve less quality and quantity

Service and atmosphere is spectacular. So warm and welcoming. Pains me to say that despite this, the tasting menu is a bit all over the place. It is marketed as an Italian restaurant yet they brought out sushi, dumplings, and cheeseburgers among the courses. The italian dishes like the Milanese and spaghetti were wonderful. Really wish they would just stick to Italian dishes.

This place was an enigma for my husband and I for years. It's in the beautiful small town of Northport, so location without a doubt is a gem. But it was always closed when we were down in Northport and we live here. We couldn't fathom how they stayed in business being closed in such a prime location. Until, 4 yrs. Later, the stars aligned (really, we ventured down during a different week day night, finally). Maroni blew us away with the small charm, interior decoration of British rock low-key speak easy clean vibe. The food was truly unbelievably delicious. I had penne, Ala vodka, and hubby had sea bass. Everything from appetizers to the wine was delicious! The service you ask? FREAKING top-notch, polite, friendly, professional, and accommodating . I do know they offer food tasting, which I hear is phenomenal. If you are in the area, or just love all above, I described for amazing experiences. Please give this place a visit! You won't be disappointed. We will be going back soon. #Chefskiss

Food and service was a 10/10! Each and every course was absolutely delicious. Our server was extremely attentive and our glasses were never empty. We all left with full and happy bellies. Would come back in a heartbeat!!!

We made a reservation for their early tasting menu $125/pp (includes gratuity and drinks). I was late to the rez but luckily they were able to make it at 4:45 instead of 3:45 without up-charging. They had 3 red wine, 4 white wine, and beer for your choosing. The tasting menu was as follows: Caviar and lobster bisque Sushi Bacon Fried fish Fried cheese Korean bbq ribs Kobe cheese burgers Chicken Milanese Shrimp with green beans Italian medley Desserts - creme brûlée, ice cream pop, marshmallow with chocolate ganache, chocolate chip ice cream sandwich Overall, the taste of the plates were good but not a culinary treat by any means. Kind of felt like your standard dishes but we just had more to be able to try. Portions were great and we definitely full by the end of it. My favorites might have been the caviar bite, fried fish, and chicken Milanese. Service was wonderful and timing of the food was appropriate as well. Without the early dining price, I don't think it would have been worth it for us. However, pleasant experience all around.

The meatballs are definitely not what they once were... maroni definitely had that touch and maybe another ingredients that he used because sadly to me these meatballs taste like a generic meatball I can pick up from any pizzeria.... And not the meatball I had years and years ago that once changed my life.... Mr Maroni I miss u, rip..

We throughly enjoyed our meals at Maroni! The service was wonderful and the setting was sophisticated yet very casual. The meatballs were excellent as was the chicken cutlets and the dumplings. Everything we tasted was spectacular. Highly recommend a visit.

Is the food good, yes. Is it expensive, yes. Is it worth it, not sure. Currently $180 per person includes 16+/- tasting menu, wine/beer, tax and tip (though they don't mind not giving change therefore adding to tip). Wine was nothing special (probably a $10 bottle). Menu items do not seem to change from previous visit or in reading reviews over the years. My personal favorites were the lobster bisque and the sliders - both excellent. As was the grilled cheese. Korean style ribs had a great crisp to them, but a little sweet (don't get the gummy bear). Wild Boar parm, tater tots, bacon - I have questions... Overall over-priced, and I would not say it's really and Italian restaurant, but it was still a nice experience to try once.

Meatballs go HARD. I've never actually eaten inside the restaurant (I only have ever done takeout) but overall it has a good vibe. The service is good for the most part and doesn't really have any problems from what I've seen.

The food is incredible - reliably delicious, high quality, inventive and adventurous. We have been coming here for several years and have never been disappointed but are consistently thrilled with the service and love the music, the atmosphere and the energy of Maria and the familial team. Just love Maroni's and the memories we've created and continue to build on.

Excellent food & service So much to try and experience. Everything tasted specially made and presented. Highly recommend!!

OMG!!! We saw the price and said NO WAY! How can anyone eat 14 courses?!! Well let me tell you.....it's definitely worth the money! The owner is a doll, the food is AMAZING and the atmosphere is beautiful.'definitely a once in a life time experience!

So much food so little time. I love the pot of meatballs on a cold winters night! Word was they are closing. I hope not!

I usually go to Maronis for my birthday every year. This year the service just wasn't up to par. Maronis it was a good run, I think I'll be celebrating my birthday elsewhere.

This is my favorite restaurant. I have been coming here for over 10 years. While the menu doesn't really change, neither has the quality -- which is tip top. You can read a ton of other reviews about the individual courses, so I don't really need to get into that. I did, however, want to give my thoughts on the ambiance. It really does feel like you are eating in someone's home, (but that someone would have to be an out of this world cook). It's cozy, it's simple, it's delicious. Go here, it's worth the money.

The tasting menu was extensive, almost 20 courses. The service was good, went with a party of 10, put us in a private room that was nice. The food was ok. Nothing was bad, but out of 20 items maybe 3 were truly amazing. The meatballs were by far the best. It was ok to try. The park and marina right outside makes it a great spot but for 175 (including food, tax, tip) wished the food was all amazing.

Honestly, don't hesitate. If you love food that tastes amazing and with incredible service, this is it. If you takeout instead of dining in you take home your phenomenal meal in these lovely little pots. Five stars!

Always interesting and never boring. The food is terrific and it's more than a dinner; it's an experience. Not to mention the staff is always terrific. For a special night, great place.

Have picked up pots of meatballs and spaghetti many times. My family and o are never disappointed. Now I know why they beat Bobby Flay the food is to die for and oh my wife and daughter love the pots you can keep. The Best

To date, I've only done take-away. The spaghetti w meatballs is awesome. The staff is great. I wish we could eat there a la carte. The fixed Chef's Tasting is rather expensive.

I did take out. A pot of spaghetti and meatballs for the kiddies. They enjoyed it and I didn't have to cook. Great deal. I plan to put the pot to good use since that is what it's served in. Thanks Maroni's.

Good meatballs. Ordered a tray to go with some Italian food for a dinner we were hosting. Everyone enjoyed

Awesome Food Great service Romantic/relaxing ambience I love this place never have a bad meal here

Excellent food & great service. A bit pricey but we'll worth it! Very nice and quiet atmosphere.

The best restaurant in Southold. Great atmosphere with fantastic music. The service is so friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The food is outstanding and the variety of choices is amazing. You have to get there if your in Southold.

Always a solid and fun night. Gourmet cuisine and The Beatles, what's not to love. Just be sure to Uber.

Went to the restaurant in Southold. Lovely room and lovely staff! My favorite dishes are the gagootz (kind of a zucchini parmesan). The penne a la vodka is also quite good. We had an order of a dozen raw oysters. They were extremely tiny and didn't really have a flavor. Won't order them again. Want to get there on a Tuesday night and try their sushi.

Awesome food. Long time favorite. The tasting sessions are a blast with more food than you can eat. Take out is great. Would love to see some vegan entrées added to the menu. Cheers!

Always amazing service. There's no menu; they just keep bringing you course after course of high quality super tasty small plates. Entree meals are a little bigger. The wine is great as well. A little pricey but worth it for special occasions. Cash only!

Drove 3 hours to eat at Maroni's and would definitely do it again. Food was amazing, customer service was outstanding and portions were perfect!

I can't believe it's taken me this long to go to Maroni. They offer a tasting menu with about 20 courses INCLUDING wine and beer. At first, we were concerned about still being hungry after the meal, but by the end we couldn't even breathe. They don't only serve traditional Italian food, which is nice when consuming 20 courses. We started with the most delicious taste of lobster bisque. Then there was pasta, meatballs, burgers, sushi, clams, shrimp, among many other things. At the end of the meal, we were served a delicious dessert platter for my birthday with chocolate covered ice cream, chocolate mousse, tiramisu, and creme brulee. The place is small, so make reservations and don't bring a large group. The prices are reasonable considering how much food you get. Truly a must.

Was ok but the meat ball was boiled Cho meat in a jar sauce. Sorry. Would pass the taste test at most Italian kitchens

I was lucky enough to dine at Maroni Cuisine for a work holiday party and it was the dining experience of a lifetime. I've done tasting menus before but never with this many courses. I believe there was sixteen? I honestly lost count. Course after course of creative, innovative food most would never think to pair together following by courses of old school Italian dishes that were so perfect it was like being in Italy. They are known for their meatballs and pasta with good reason. The sauce is addicting and the texture of their homemade pasta is perfection. Some of the table's favorite courses were: -Prosciutto Poppers - Bundles of prosciutto with a drizzle of oil and seasonings. -Seafood - Fresh king crab legs, mussels, oysters and shrimp on ice. -Sushi - A total left field moment no one expected. -Potato Chip with Caviar - I could eat platters of these if given the chance. Since we were a private party we had red and white wine flowing. Service was excellent and made sure to explain each course along with fun tidbits of information about the restaurant. The decor is really unique. Kind of like a well-lit bordello. They change their menu all the time so you might not get these courses, but no matter what Maroni puts out it is sure to be wonderful. I hope to return soon for another incredible dining experience.

I've eaten here both in the regular restaurant and in the private room as a larger group and the food and service is phenomenal. It's not cheap and I wish they'd call Sand City Brewing and partner up (it's literally in walking distance) because their beverage menu is just ok. But whether it's a night out with a few friends or a group get-together, if you want an amazing variety of food and a great experience - this is the place.

We absolutely love this place. The food is amazing! I love the fact that they change the dishes everytime we try the chef's tasting menu. The food is made fresh. You will leave full and with a great experience. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is smaller, but very cozy. Highly recommend!

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! Took my boyfriend here for his birthday and did the chef's tasting menu. Every single person in this place is going above and beyond! I have a random food allergy and the chef made sure to make me something different on the courses that had it in them. My wine glass never got close to being empty. The staff was so kind and everyone seemed like they were really happy being at work. Mrs. Maroni even came over to chat for a while (turns out she and my bf are birthday twins!) Everything was absolutely delicious... if you're a foodie or looking for a fun new eating experience, I highly recommend trying Maroni's! I had to waddle out in the end! One note- they do not take cards, but take Venmo, Cash or check so it still was very easy to pay. Now, I just need to come up with a reason to go back :)

Absolutely fantastic! It's like going to visit your favorite Italian relatives for an excellent meal, even though I'm Norwegian! I miss Mike, but Maria and the rest of the staff will still make you feel right at home. Where do I start? They are nationally famous for their homemade meatballs, that permeate the air upon your arrival. Absolutely wonderful, but there's sooo much more to enjoy. The lobster bisque is an absolute delight. It has an incredible consistency, and is very filling. Their baked clams casino is uber tasty and super fresh. Our friendly waiter told us all of the seafood is from local sources, which made me love the establishment even more. The linguine and clams is absolutely out of this world, and let's get back to the meatballs! An amazing dish that must be celebrated far and wide. The sauce is simply exquisite, and the meatballs are obviously homemade. Not too much breading, and just the right texture create the perfect meatball. Simple, fresh and fantastic! Service is prompt and ambiance is high. Great atmosphere. Very welcoming environment. Highly recommended. A definite must visit, any time of year!

This is a delicious and fun spot for special occasions. I just wish the tasting menu changed more often.

Came here for my best friends birthday. I made a reservation for 6:30pm. We arrived and had to wait almost half hour because "they're eating dessert." What? Lol so of course we waited. The tasting included drinks, different tapas size to share, and dessert. We didn't drink so we saved $20 off our bill, which was great! Food: We had potato chips with caviar( meh, nothing stood out of this), lobster bisque(that was my favorite out of everything), raw oyster from Massachusetts and jumbo shrimp(cocktail), Peter Luger bacon! (I expected thick cut PL bacon, but instead I felt like I got played! It seemed like it was just some regular Oscar Meyers maple bacon! That threw me off! Next sushi?!(I thought we were eating Italian? But hey whatever works but I wished it would of been something Italian.) salmon was fresh. Shrimp scampi and string beans.( the shrimp and that garlic butter sauce was good!) Truffle cheese ravioli(the sauce was awesome). Chicken Milanes with salad. (It was good). Cod (no flavor, least favorite out of everything. Kobe beef sliders with totes.( it was good, burger patties had a nice crust to it) Korean style ribs? Why? (They didn't taste Korean. Should change name to Asian Ribs lol and please don't add that gummy bear! It was unnecessary! Suckling pig rigatoni? (Sorry I forgot what they said this was. It was ok for me but bestie said it wasn't her fav.) Their famous meatball, pasta and pork parmigiana and Chicken parmigiana. (Meatballs were good a little soft (texture) for my taste but it was good. Parm was great. Truffle grilled cheese(this was my second favorite of the night) fried pastrami egg roll (it was good, very flavorful!) finally dessert crème brûlée, ice cream cookie dipped in fudge, and melted marshmallow chocolate mousse. (Very sweet, my fav was the Ice cream sandwich) Service: It was good. Everyone was very friendly. Decor: it was nice and red in there. (Loved the color inside) clearly owner is a Beetle's fan!) and the love for music showed. Would definitely come back!

The tasting menu is unbelievable. Wow. Everything had a wow factor in presentation and flavor. Perfect for a nice relaxing evening. Beware you will be full but it is worth it for a special occasion or for a nice night with loved ones.
