This smallish restaurant is a breath of fresh air for anyone who enjoys simple, good food, but can't be bothered with all of the frills that come with it. The bright and warm décor reflects the casual and inviting attitude of La Maria's two chefs who are still infused with an old-fashioned passion for their profession. Expensive PR boys with clever marketing concepts have never worked their magic here, although they could definitely afford the surprisingly high prices of the freshly prepared dishes. But in the end, the attentive, personal service will probably convince to you to turn a blind eye to the bill.
