It's Tuesday night a long drive home and I found this nice family-owned Italian restaurant they started with the Caesar salad it was fabulous and then I moved on to the lasagna what's cool about this place is they have 50 60 different soda drinks to choose from which makes this place very fun the salad was fantastic lasagna was better and choosing out a soda from Old School to new school made my day

I love this pizza place, the pizza is so good to begin with. They are super nice and have a huge collection of glass bottle sodas! I ordered the deal with large pizza 2 toppings + wings. They were nice and didn't charge me for an extra half topping. They also kept our sodas we selected in fridge while we waited, super considerate. They also had a gluten free option I need to try. Will definitely make this place our regular spot.

A huge choice of all kinds of drinks, even once that are rare and hard to find.

Great place to pick up a pizza and chicken deal, or they deliver ! They are always very polite and eager to serve. The ambiance is quaint for a pickup and go.

Hadn't been in awhile and decided to pay out pizza place a visit. Service didn't disappoint it was like visiting an old friend. The lady was a joy to do business with so pleasant. We had simple order of wings and pizza. Hot wings were bomb and pizza hit the spot. Thank you for your exceptional service!

It was that good! Be careful or you'll fall into gluttony like we did! My husband did the same. He's a heavyweight athlete so for him it's ok! :) Having amazing food is one thing but when you have superior service too-chefs kiss!! Brenden was our server let me tell you this kid knows the menu like the back of his hand. He makes amazing suggestions and so attentive as are his counterparts. He was helping a big party but it felt like he was just taking care of us. His counterparts were amazing as well and not to take away from them but Kira was top notch. She stepped in when Brenden was with his large party-honestly she didn't have to but it sure made us feel like VIPS. One million percent recommend this cute Italian Gem that makes you forget you're in the middle of a busy intersection of El Cajon!

Hey dudes, Captain 619 here, just cruisin' in to share my experience at Marechiaro's Italian…read moreRestaurant. So, this was our first time paddlin' in, and the place was packed with people--always a good sign, right? But, bro, the food? It didn't quite catch the wave for me. I went for the lasagna, and man, the portion was smaller than I hoped for. My wife went with the chicken Parmesan, but the chicken was kinda chewy, like it got tossed around in the surf a bit too long. And the bread? A little dry, like it needed a splash of ocean water to bring it back to life. First impression? Just average, my friends. I was really hoping for an epic Italian feast, but it felt more like a small ripple than a big wave. I'll give it a three for the vibe and the crowd, but the chow just didn't hang ten for us. Catch you on the next wave! Captain 619

Opening the door we were greeted with the old school charm of a restaurant that has been around for over 50 years. Our server was delightful and very fast. In fact the entire staff had a warm energetic family feel. And, happily we beat the rush giving us the ability to hear each other and take our time enjoying the meal. Dad and I started with the chicken tortellini soup which was a little too salty for us. Tortellini was slightly overcooked making it flowery and missing meat or cheese. Mom's house salad was ok. She did comment on being disappointed in the oil served with it. Our appetizer was shrimp scampi. This was good, full of flavor. Shrimp was slightly overcooked giving it a semi rubbery edge. On to the entrees. They were huge! I had lasagna. I think when you see it delivered in a sea of sauce you need to be a bit wary. The sauce was spicy, as it should be. Noodles were thick and prominent . Sadly that left little to no room for my favorite part - cheese and meat which were limited. Dad gave the manicotti a try which was ok. Mom had eggplant parmesan, one of her favs. Her sauce was a little bit tart. Eggplant was a nice moist and tender slice with just the right amount of cheese. She loved how the strands of spaghetti wrapped around her fork so she could dip it into the sauce without a spoon. Yup, she really liked the Pasta. Overall she felt it was a nice Italian meal. Very popular spot as it filled up before 6pm and a party of 30 was expected! You can see it's a neighborhood

The Best Pizza in Town! Impeccable Service & Authentic Flavor…read more​If you are craving pizza, do yourself a favor and head straight to Italia Pizza. This place is a masterclass in how a neighborhood spot should be run. ​The Food ​The food here is absolutely stellar. You can tell they don't cut corners--from the perfectly crisp crust to the high-quality toppings and rich, flavorful sauce. It's the kind of meal where you're already planning your next visit before you've even finished your first slice. Everything was fresh, hot, and seasoned to perfection. ​The Service ​What really blew me away, though, was the service. It was truly impeccable. From the moment we walked in, the owner made us feel like a VIP. He was: ​Attentive: Checked in at just the right times. ​Fast: Our order came out quickly without feeling rushed, with it all being cooked to order. ​Friendly: Genuine smiles and a welcoming attitude that you just don't find everywhere. ​The Verdict ​It is rare to find a spot that hits the "trifecta" of amazing food, fair pricing, and world-class service, but Italia Pizza nails it. Whether you're grabbing a quick slice or sitting down for a full meal, you won't be disappointed. ​I'll definitely be a regular here! Highly, highly recommended.

I've tried a few items here, the pizza is definitely the best thing I've had there.

I've never eaten inside, we get takeout, so I can't speak to the dining experience. You can order online and pick up is easy. They have really solid pizza and a good selection of toppings and styles of pizza. The employees I've encountered were all really friendly.
