Ristorante da Maria

Absolute Best Minestrone Soup! Excellent service as always and I love the music and atmosphere!

Hello,If I could give this restaurant NEGATIVE STARS, I would. The cheese tortellini: HALF RAW, half ok, half overcooked... the kid's portion absolutely OVERCOOKED mush... the meatball was not even HAMBURGER it was PRESSED MEAT (what???). Oh the deserts? Cheesecake still frozen! Cannoli? Smelled like a stale freezer and.... SEMI-FROZEN. Do not go to this restaurant, do not spend your money here. I grew up eating authentic Italian food and this "food" I would not feed to my dog. Great job Ristorante da Maria.... Truly.

The sauces are mild. . My spaghetti with meat sauce was delicious. My son's eggplant parmigiana was out-of-this-world delicious. However the meatballs served to my husband were cold. I do not like sausage meatballs, so I will not deduct for that. The garlic bread knots are garlicky and a nice a compliment to our meals. The wines servings were small for the prices. Of the two desserts, I liked the tiramisu best compared to the cannolis. Portions were large and economical for the prices charged.A waiter cleaned one of the tables and dried it with used napkins.The tax was added to bill and tip.So I am taking off a star.

My husband and I were craving pasta but didn't want to go to a really fancy and expensive restaurant so we made our way here and it's such a hidden gem! Food: 10/10 I was craving a tomato sauce pasta instead of the meat sauce so penne pomodoro was perfect for me and the pasta was cooked al dente. My husband got the baked rigatoni and it was loaded with cheese, pepperoni, and Italian sausage. He enjoyed his meal and got really full. We also got garlic sticks and it was so fragrant and good paired with the marinara sauce and the crust was really crispy. Each table comes with red pepper, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. The prices here are insanely affordable! It was a little over $30 for 2 entrees and one appetizer and that's for dinner price. Ambience: 10/10 Lots of seating options. It's very cute and cozy inside. I see a lot of people getting take out but I encourage more people to dine in. They play nice romantic Italian instrumentals inside and there's 3 or so TV's in there to watch sports too. Highly recommend for a date or to dine with family or friends. It looks like a family run restaurant and all the workers are really nice and asked how the food was for us and refilled our water cups too. Parking: There's 1 hour parking spots in front of the restaurant and there's lots of parking in the plaza. We are already thinking of our next visit. Can't wait to come back!:)

Ordered through DoorDash they divided 1 order into 2 containers and called it 2 orders. Pasta was dry store bought not homemade. Alfredo sauce tasted flour. No salt, no seasoning, not creamy. Butter in it tasted too old. If you're craving pasta for a cheat day this will disappoint you.

I was craving some pasta, so I looked around on Yelp and stumbled across this restaurant. I decided to get takeout and ordered the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and my boyfriend got the Chicken Milano. Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo: 8.5/10Tastes like how a Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo pasta should taste like! Unlike other restaurants, this spot gave a lot of chicken and Alfredo sauce. When I got it to go, I took a photo of the pasta before mixing so it looked a bit dry. However, after mixing it, I realize there was a lot of Alfredo sauce at the bottom.Chicken Milano: 10/10Can I say... wow?!? I tried my boyfriend's Chicken Milano and instantly loved the pasta! The creaminess of the pasta sauce with the chicken, garlic, mushrooms, and sun dried tomatoes are a perfect blend.Service was super welcoming and friendly. I definitely have to come back to try their other pastas, pizzas, and wings!

Four stars for the quality of food and service. All that I ordered were cooked to order and was hot and fresh! I ordered the following:Meat Ball - GoodGarlic Knots - Excellent Veal Piccata - Excellent Meat Pizza - small - Excellent Tiramisu - Very GoodAmbiance is a typical of a San Jose Mom and Pop restaurant. The most outstanding is the fast and efficient service. Owner is very friendly.

Casual Italian restaurant with fair pricing, good food, and very good service is what we experienced on this first visit. I ordered a calzone and was happy to know they made them fresh to order so I was able to modify (there were artichoke hearts in menu ingredients which I don't like); my experience at other restaurants has been that they are stuffed ahead of time so no changes can be made. The calzone was also bigger than expected so, with the bread appetizer, I could only eat about half. The cheese bread appetizer was good. As for the wine list - it was short, simple, and basic; I had a house Chianti which was pleasant, but it would be nice to see a decent Nebbiolo on the list. They also offer a family brownie desert which we took to go and enjoyed later.We thought the service was very good and it is a place we will go back to. One thing I noted, and that I liked seeing, was that they were thorough about cleaning the tables between guests. The person cleaning the tables was quite meticulous wiping and then properly sanitizing.

Really weak pasta do not order from here and over cooked i got it from door dash spent 30 bucks for nothing

The food was delicious and the service was great as well!!! Very friendly people. The spaghetti and meatball dish was perfect the meatballs were so good!
