Italian Roots. Local Ritual. Maria's has been the family Italian kitchen for Agoura Hills and Westlake Village since 1999, the western edge of the Alfano family's 7 dining rooms across Los Angeles. The hand-rolled meatballs are the reason regulars keep the same order for years: rolled from freshly ground beef, simmered in a marinara cooked slow on the house recipe, and portioned so half the plate rides home. Beyond the meatballs, the scratch kitchen runs pizzas, pastas, chicken and seafood, and a vegan menu for lunch and dinner. It is a regular choice for family dinners, date nights, and birthdays, with catering across the Conejo Valley. Kid-friendly, with takeout and delivery Tuesday through Sunday from 11 to 9, an easy stop off the 101.
