Maida Trattoria

Service & atmosphere, top tier! Drinks & appetizer were delish, & all reasonably priced for such a nice place. My date enjoyed his food (shrimp scampi); however, the gluten free pasta was the worst I’ve ever had, ever… the texture was terrible. I think what made it worse was that I was very excited to have a form of fettuccine Alfredo because the sauce is usually made with flour, which I can’t eat. The pasta was mushy, grainy & had an unpalatable texture. (iykyk - Gluten free eaters get it). Our waiter was very kind & not only comped my dish, which I only took 2 bites of, but gave me Alfredo sauce to go because it was yummy. I promptly added it to my fave rice noodles & it was tasty once I remade my meal at home. I tried another bite of the original thinking I was being sassy… sorry, no,

Impressed!!! From every part of the experience I was truly delighted. Griffin. M was my server and he did an excellent job. Not overbearing and checked with me just enough to ensure my experience was exceptional but not hovering. After I received my chicken Alfredo and had taken a few bites the manager checked on me. That made me feel like they truly care. Prices were reasonable and the food tasted fantastic. A phenomenal experience I will tell my friends and family about.

I went twice shortly after they opened, but with the new menu launch as of 1/26/26, it feels like Maida has arrived. The place is vibrant and energetic. You need a reservation. The food is on point and I cannot wait to return to try more. Service is warm and attentive. Congrats to the Maida team on a welcome addition to the primo location in Old Town FoCo!

Made a reservation here after getting a recommendation from a friend. After checking in with the hostess they asked us to wait on the benches in the entryway. Several new parties were seated while we waited. This was unfortunate because when we checked in again it seemed like our table had been ready for 20 minutes. Our server was great - friendly and she quickly took care of having our pizza redone (the menu for the sausage pizza doesn't mention a balsamic drizzle). The pastas we ordered were very tasty. In general a nice vibe and I think this would make a great date place if you're not in a rush.

This was a nice little spot to get pasta, something I was deeply craving and an establishment that fulfilled a prophecy. This place is nice and clean and modern. A good restaurant but lives on a busy street, some days is harder to find parking, depending. The staff here are friendly and helpful with suggestions. I was torn between 2 pastas but later found out they have smaller portions that allowed me to partake in a second helping of pasta. The scampi and carbonara are just the best. Scampi was lemony and the carbonara was creamy with guanciale. Absolutely fantastic and the smaller portions aren’t crazy expensive and the serving is perfect. I indulge in 2 pastas and, no regrets! The Empress cocktail is a good fit as well. Essentially a spiked lemonade. I would come here again if I’m ever
