Oh Yum! Family style Italian. We have gone here several times with large groups, they are always very accommodating. The family style is nice. The food is amazing, pizza, ravioli, bread and salad. Everything taste fresh and homemade. Prices are great! They keep it really cool inside too!

Celebrated my brother’s birthday here with the whole family, the pizza was amazing very delicious. Caesar salad, spaghetti, and garlic bread were also good, I definitely recommend this restaurant. The entire staff were extremely kind and we’ll be coming back, loved it.

The best Italian food I have ever tasted. My favorite was the white sauce versus the red, but that’s just personal opinion. The sausage and garlic bread was amazing. The staff went above and made sure our every need was met. The canole was a taste of heaven. Will be back to visit many more times. Thank You for taking such good care of us.

Been coming here for years. Food is consistently good. Service was friendly and fun. Menu is a bit smaller than in the past but wasn’t lacking in the traditional Italian fare. Pizzas are always great!

Picky Italian food guy and I thought it was great. Linguine with clam sauce was very good. Not overpowered with garlic. Italian Sausage was good and the red sauce was very very good. Not overly sweet which is a pet peeve of mine. My little one loved the spumoni ice cream. The service was all smiles and seemed to love working there. My family enjoyed it!

Marechiaro’s has been one of my ABSOLUTE favorite restaurant since I was little, but the way they helped with our wedding was more than I could have ever hoped for!! They catered for 150 people with the most DELICIOUS food!! Shoutout to Anna for helping us figure out logistics. If you haven’t gone, GO!!! Best Italian food in San Diego!!
