"The stuffed shells were so good. They allowed me to sub alfredo sauce as well. Also enjoyed the house dressing."

So much for replying on the reviews. Authentic Italian food? I think not. I 've made a lot of Italian food.... I 've eaten a lot of Italian food...and Maria 's restaurant is NOT authentic Italian food. Let me start by saying hubby wanted to go here as the reviews showed it was a really great restaurant. Finally, we went. I will start by saying it is a very dark restaurant and the ambiance leaves a lot to be desired. But...I always say I 'm here for the food, not interior decoration. They seem to have a lot of older clientele. We did not see any younger people in the restaurant but maybe it was the time we went. Hubby liked what he saw on the menu prior to us going there and noticed the Ipswich Clams on the menu online. He is a nut for clams and when he saw Ipswich clams on the menu, he really thought he was in for a treat. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. She brought us some bread and butter. I started with a Cosmo which was clearly made form a mix. It had an off taste and did not taste like one made from scratch. It 's made with vodka, triple sec, a splash of cranberry and squeeze of lime. That 's all you should taste. I make them all the time. They are super easy and there 's no mistaking a freshly made one. It was very warm, so I added the ice provided to me, which I never do. I decided to go with the Ravioli Parmesan. I also ordered the clam chowder. It also came with a salad which was a good size for a side. Hubby ordered...you guessed it...the Ipswich fried clams.....Now he did ask the waitress if they were actually Ipswich clams before ordering them to be sure and she said yes. He also ordered the Chicken Soup. His soup was very good, obviously homemade. The clam chowder was not homemade. My salad came and it was sufficient but I feared I would be too full to eat so hubby ate some of it. It was Iceberg lettuce with a good-sized tomato, green pepper and onion. The meals came. Mine had melted cheese on top. It came in a casserole dish. I tried to scoop out some ravioli on to my plate with a little cheese, but the cheese was so rubbery all of the cheese wanted to come off of the top of the casserole. Then when it was on my plate it was very difficult to cut. The ravioli was just the square ravioli you see frozen like Mama Rosie 's in the grocery store. Worst of all was the sauce. It had a very weird consistency and was supposedly meat sauce although if it was meat, it was do pulverized it wasn 't funny. The sauce was tasteless. I 've made a ton of different sauces in my lifetime and I swear this was canned. I don 't know if I could have ever got the meat so purified. Hubby got his clams that he thought were going to be Ipswich.....He said they were so tough. Like the membranes were still on and the necks were like rubber. He said they were horrible and knew right away they were not Ipswich clams. This is one description of an Ipswich clam a meltingly tender soft-shell clam body surrounded, belly and all, by a crumb coating that, when deep-fried (preferably in lard), becomes a salty, crunchy-crisp casing for the soft and sweetly briny clam inside .......The clams he was given were completely the opposite of that. Why would anyone advertise something they don 't have and serve you something they don 't have? Do they think you won 't know the difference? I don 't like being conned and lied to by anyone and feel like the $60.00 with tip I paid was a rip off. The only thing that was good was the soup so that 's some expensive soup. I 'm sorry but anyone who thinks this is authentic Italian food and a 4 star restaurant is crazy.
