The Mediterranean is known for its vibrant flowers and medieval waterfront castles. In arriving at the restaurant’s name, the owners wanted to incorporate old-time history and florals into a name with a more significant meaning. The Thorn, which plays off the town’s name Thornwood, perfectly represents the lyrics “every rose has its thorn.” They want people to walk in and be taken away by what they see, that an exterior thorn can be accompanied by interior beauty.
As an homage to their mother, at Maria Restaurant, the old meets new Italian cuisine is enjoyed in an industrial modern farmhouse space with massive chandeliers, striking sapphire blue banquettes against whitewashed 100-year-old brick walls with hardwood floors, and a comfortable 14-seat white quartz bar. Being named Westchester Magazine’s Best New Restaurant in 2019, followed by MICHELIN awards in 2020, 2021, and 2022, would make mom proud.
