Best lasagna I've ever had.

My wife and I have been ordering takeout from here since covid. We were exploring Italian restaurants for classic dishes such as lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo and spaghetti. We were never let down on any of those. However, one day we tried a small personal pepperoni pizza. We were absolutely blown away at how fresh and savory the ingredients were. The dough was amazing, flat, crispy and still somewhat fluffy. It wasn't soaked in oil and the cheese was possibly the best I've ever had on a pizza. Absolutely delicious and worth every penny. We recently tried their garlic lovers and combination. I cannot say enough about how much each ingredients flavors dance around on the tongue. If you ever want a quality pizza, this is definitely the place to visit.

Excellent Italian Foods. Reminds me of New York Italian Restaurants. The Calzones are fantastic. I tried two Pesto Chicken and the Combo and thgey were both

The place has the warmth of a family-owned Italian restaurant. The owner asked us whether we enjoyed our food adding to the homey feeling. The red and white checked tablecloths make the place look friendly and unpretentious.The garlic knots were soft and fluffy, and we could taste the melted butter. I would recommend the chicken fettuccine alfredo, it was creamy and tasty, with chunks of chicken. The chicken milano was a quality dish, with hints of sun-dried tomatoes.

Absolutely amazing food. Authentic and family friendly. The owner stopped by to see how we were doing and ended up chatting with us for a bit. We tried the coffee and were pleasantly surprised to find it was delicious - without creamer! Wonderful service, incredible people.

I think a good Italian restaurant has been the hardest thing to find since moving to San Jose in 2016. The ones with nice ambiance and good food are too expensive (A Bellagio, 360) and the wife never wants to return to the affordable ones (Annie's, Luigi's). The one exception (which I won't name) is tiny, always has a wait, and closes early, which is why we threw the net out last night.By the way, there are also expensive ones with bad food, but I won't name it because I don't want to get any more unprofessional messages from Vin Santo.The ambiance is welcoming and casual, maybe too casual for me, but I'm used to the dark holes-in-the-wall that southern Californians can expect. I would prefer something less bright, but the takeout counter has backlit big screens and the walls have televisions playing sports-ball games. The owner is walking around talking to the many locals and regulars, sometimes talking at length in his pride of his water filtration system. To be honest, I thought for a moment I was being sold a water filter at a time share, but to friendly and knowledgeable owner George's credit, his excellent Diet Coke was crisp and his sample of coffee was smooth. I am no hydrology expert, but the water is like the tears of angels.The service was excellent before I move to food.I liked the menu options. Taking advantage of the bar-foodish appetizer selection, we got potato skins. I think it should be 6 (not 5) for $9 so it's easier for 2 or 3 to share. I liked them, but the wife found her pieces (sans bacon) to be bland. The wife got a garlic lover's pizza, with fresh spinach and tomato, and cheese from... well, I forget what George said... it was something like the cheese was from purebred, valedictorian, blue-eyed, virgin cows from Wisconsin with no cavities who attend night school with inherit and insatiable curiosity. We both thought it was fresh, but fine.I got the combo calzone, which was full of meat. It had little sauce, so I asked for some marinara on the side to dip the yummy dough pieces after pillaging the contents. I managed to save half for breakfast the next day. The marinara was delicious, and this is coming from a guy with a 100% Italian grandmother. George told me they make all the sauces, the ranch, etc. from scratch, and, I can't be sure, but these tomatoes were hormone-free and grown in oil-based kaolin clay pots and gently massaged daily by nuns with their leafs trimmed by hairstylist Chris McMillen, who created "the Rachel". If you want a super casual, welcoming place, full of locals and regulars, with great service and fresh food, letsa go.

Many vegetarian options. The food was delicious. We ordered garlic knots, soup, vegetarian pizza (da maria tiscana) and fettuccine Alfredo pasta. The whole family enjoyed the food.

I visited Ristorante da Maria, thanks to a friend's recommendation, and I can honestly say that I was not disappointed. It was evident that the owner is not only passionate about his food but also takes immense pride in what he serves. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and taste of the dishes. We ordered:- Pesto Bread (6pc for $5.50): These were very delicious. My only wish was that they were bigger.- Lobster Ravioli ($16.99): You could genuinely taste the lobster in every bite, and the flavors were amazing.- Chicken Parmigiana ($17.99): This was my absolute favorite. The chicken was so flavorful, perfectly breaded, and incredibly juicy.Overall, this restaurant is a true gem, and I can't wait to return to try more of their dishes!
