| - Shockingly I came here without checking Yelp, but I was really happy with the meal I shared with a friend. They have two menus, one for traditional dinner and one with tapas items. Since I like trying different things, we decided to share 5 small plates.
Patatas (bravas): Great crispy potato chunks with some fancy mayonnaise (aioli)
Charcuterie plate: Slightly untraditional plate of four types of meat. Spicy salami-ish meat, serrano ham, duck breast, and bbq crispy pork. The crispy pork was my favorite, but everything was really tasty, especially mixed with the pickled onions.
Mussels: Really complex flavorful broth with well cooked and meaty mussels. The toast they came with was top notch, also.
Lamb meatballs: Tasty, especially with hidden gems of pine nuts. If you really like meatballs, I definitely recommend these.
Garlic shrimp: Four plump and juicy shrimp hanging out on a large piece of toast with a mayo based sauce. I loved these.
The decor is slightly art deco, but a little more colorful and whimsical than that.
Service was excellent, and I think overall it's a pretty good value for Champaign.
I can't think of anything I didn't like at Radio Maria and would strongly recommend it!
