Reviews for Marechiaro's Italian Restaurant in El Cajon, CA

Solid Italian restaurant. The wait was short, the food was ready in a reasonable amount of time, the staff was friendly and... attentive and best of all, the pizza I had was really good too. The salad was ok but nothing that would deter me fromre-visiting. Next time I'm in town I'll visit again. Read more

Great Italian food. Great service but I think they're a little short staffed so it took a while to get seated even though the... restaurant wasn't full. What seeded the service was good the food was great. Read more

Great service! Very good Italian food. Generous servings. Parking is a little tough on busy days. Most parking in the back. But... everything was fresh and delicious. Their pasta dishes were awesome and so was their pizza and huge BLT. Will be coming to thisspecific one again soon! Read more

Customer service is excellent, prices are decent, and the food is delicious! This place never disappoints!

Hands down the worst attempt of a chicken Picata I have seen. The sauce was broken and more of a soup. The breast were hand cut... into thick strips and not beaten. The dish I was served deserves a one star. I would give the chicken Parm a three and the frontof house a five so far.. Three overall, pretty bummed about it. The sauce should be boss and proof is in the prep. There arealso pounded cutlets for other items on the menu. Most people and myself would most likely not return business. Hopefully forthe employees sake these kind of things get fixed. Read more

The lasagna is my absolute favorite. I always take new friends, family, and out of town guests here and it becomes their... favorite, too. I recently went on a different day than Monday lasagna day. I now *love* their antipasto salad; the pickledvegetables (giardiniera) paired with their homemade Italian dressing make it perfectly punchy. It is a unique spiciness that youdidn't know you needed until you have it. We've also been on a regular dining day and tried two different dishes. I recommendboth: Chicken Marsala and Pasta Marechiaro. Both are wine sauces and completely necessary to round out your savory palate. Read more

First time visitor. Visiting from out of town and it was recommended that I try this restaurant. Outstanding food and service.... Our server, Kayla, was professional polite and had an amazingly positive attitude. The bus boy, Tyler, was also amazing - superpolite and very enthusiastic. The manager, Lacey, was justifiably proud of her staff and grateful for the acknowledgement. Iwould highly recommend this to anybody looking for what they call ?legendary and exceptional? Italian cuisine, family style. Read more

Nice little place with great staff and good food! Not too pricey either. I'm a very picky eater and I would recommend this place... to anyone! First plate is chicken parmigiana and second is shrimp risotto. And that bread is sooo yummy! We also ordered apizza for the road and it was pretty good too. Read more
