Marechiaro Italian Kitchen — Restaurant in San Jose

This place fooled me into believing the ratings online.

The place was clean enough albeit it was deserted except for 3-4 staff. This should have been a sign, I guess. My friend and I ordered our dishes from the kiosk. He got a chicken picatta and I got a Ravioli with creamy pesto and added a bunch of veggies for exorbitantly inflated add-on prices. I also ordered a side of garlic bread. The total price for me was $34 and some change.

The food was borderline edible (when you're very hungry and you've already paid so much and you just want something to eat.

The pasta was watery! Both of them. They came with two small pieces of bread cut from plain white baguette bread. The flavor was nothing special. It was edible thankfully and we were hungry. The ravioli seemed like the frozen ravioli we get in the supermarket which is then heated and/or cooked to be soft. The pesto tasted like generic pesto but runny and watery. The garlic bread tasted like the Texas toast with some Mexican cheese bond on top and roasted as per instructions on the box. Sadly this garlic bread was the best part of this overpriced meal.

There was even the watery sauce left over for drinking after deliberately dunking the breads in the sauce and soaking up as much as possible. The soggy bread even broke apart.

All in all, not recommended...

I ordered through Doordash a couple of times. They definitely have the best calamari I've ever had(better than Monterey). Stays crispy even after it starts cooling off. I got the fettecuine alfredo, added chicken and broccoli. It was delicious both times I ordered it. This time I got garlic bread with my order(buy one, get 1 free). Food was great all...

Ordered a chicken Parm pasta through delivery. The chicken Parm is just 2 frozen Tyson's chicken patty. That is why the patties were perfectly identical and hella processed. At least it was a slightly more decent chicken patty. They could have gone full McChicken on you. I guess I should be...
