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

They are still sticking to the original recipes and I appreciate the dough of our Italian Sausage & Mushroom pizza. We also shared a Caesar salad. I like that they have a room for private events - they had the Padres game on in that room. Our server would pass by a few times so that we could ask her for anything additional. We skipped dessert this time. Our pizza was better the second day! The way they prepare mushrooms was the way my hometown pizza place did. And the CHEESE! So delicious and melt-y!!!! Enjoy it

The OG owner had a serious passion for pizza…read more Every time I went in he'd pop out with a sample of what he was experimenting on, it was the best. He'd talk about how he simmered the sauce for 6 hours b4 using it. He str8 LOVED pizza. Sadly, he retired and sold the place. When I heard this I became skeptical but still wanted to give'em a go for super bowl sunday. Unfortunately, like all other SD places that sell, the magic is gone. Sauce not like I remember, toppings are thin as helllzzz. OG owner would cover them pizza's with toppings. I give 3 stars cuz the meatball sub is good at least. Oh welllzzzzz

In my opinion, Any pizza place that serves food needs to have excellent sauce and a meatball worth ordering. This pizza had both. Yummy the first time and yummy when reheated. The breadstick is substantial and sauce on the side delicious. I also had the wings with bbq sauce which I loved Nicely cooked and meaty with sticky bbq sauce. Thanks to all who cooked this and packed it up nicely. You can tell care is taken for the customer.

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

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a smile by the cashier, who is often the owner's daughter or son. You can really tell this is a family-owned business that genuinely cares about its customers. We've never had a bad experience here. The customer service is always warm, friendly, and welcoming, and the food is consistently delicious. My personal favorites are the Hawaiian pizza, the Buffalo Chicken pizza, and the BBQ Chicken pizza. The Rigatoni alla Vodka is also absolutely amazing and one of my favorite pasta dishes. It's not easy to find a place that serves consistently great food while making you feel so welcome every time you visit, but Roger's Pizzarolo does exactly that. If you're looking for authentic New York-style pizza and excellent customer service, I can't recommend this place enough. My family and I will definitely keep coming back!
