After living in Italy for three years, when my family and I arrived in Dublin we were eager to find a place with great espresso, delicious food, great atmosphere and friendly for kids. Maia had it all! The sidewalk take-away bar has the best sandwiches, soups and espresso in town. Giuseppe, the head chef from Scilily, is a master of... More

A great setting with nice lighting, cool music and a really good atmosphere. The food was great and really good value. The service was excellent even though the restaurant was full and the staff seemed... More

We have gone to Maia several times since it opened, and have never been disappointed. The restaurant is not too large, and it never gets too loud.
