Santa Maria - Metz

First, make sure to call at least one day in advance to book! We were lucky that someone who made a reservation didn't show up. The two shifts were complete. The service was excellent. the staff was friendly and had everything under control. They even took the time to help us choose a restaurant for Sunday (because most restaurants are closed on Sunday). The atmosphere is very cozy. The tables are close enough, but I don't mind at all. The walls are shaped in wine lockers, which was a good idea. If you are lucky and you are one of the first to enter, you can have a table outside. We had the linguine and risotto and both were well prepared. If you don't support spicy food, I recommend you not use the pepper they put on the inguines. Overall, I really liked service and food. The only criticism is that during the shift change, it was a little enlivened, so it took us a while to take our coffee.

We managed to sneak into santa maria on a sunny and busy Saturday night in metz. located in a quiet street with tables outside, it is a friendly and lively place. the menu looked good - enough for a good choice, but not ridiculously long. we were allowed to try with the antipasti mista with ham of parma, pancetta, salami, artichokes, peppers, eggplant, three cheeses and mozzarella rissoles, which we shared between us, and certainly sufficed for two. It was so good that there was nothing left. the main dishes of risotto al scampi - creamy with lots of shrimp, and linguine puttanesca - intensely scented as it should - were both excellent and more than enough. We didn't have room for desserts. accompanied by a good house Montepulciano. 46 € for food was of an excellent value for money. food and surroundings really nice. certainly recommended.

We found ourselves looking for a lunch yesterday and consulted trip advisor to get recommendations. among the options mentioned as good choices, we fell on santa maria in the street where we walked and decided to try it. there was only one unserved table available near the door (it was a little cold when the guests came but it was such a small restaurant that the door rarely opened) but we are not the kind to let us go. - cooked and presented. The service was excellent. piccata had an excellent flavor, well seasoned potatoes and the cheesecake option for dessert was good. I couldn't have dreamed better, especially for the price!

We visited the place one Thursday night. the small square was almost full to crack, as in some other places of this street in particular, creating a pleasant atmosphere. Two guys were on duty. nice guys who speak English for you no French visitors. the red wine scicilian was pleasant. food looked and tasted good. We had a bologna lasagna, spagethi ancoise-something tiramisu, floating island, 4 glasses of wine and coffee and paid 60 €. reasonable price quality. I recommend this place in the center if the old town!

Food was very fresh, prices are reasonable and servers were very nice and it was not at all embarrassing that we were not speaking French.
