Our story starts when this family business’ owner entered the food service industry experience. While the owner George started his internship during his MBA from Santa Clara University, he got the opportunity to learn about professional food industry and customer service. Meanwhile, he worked with his brother, who owned a restaurant business in downtown San Jose. After graduating University, George started working with a big food industry in South San Francisco, and since then his passion to serve others and customers grew and expanded. It became a vision, to open a restaurant with tasty food, and it became called Ristorante da Maria.
The specific passion to cook was inherited from George’s mother and grandmother, both of whom loved to cook and serve others. Inheriting their passion and artistic flare is sure to help us to provide quality food and service to our dear customers.
We at Ristorante da Maria have picked our Chefs and employees carefully in order to bring you the best cuisine, and to realize that life-long dream.
We’re glad to bring Ristorante da Maria to life and hope to extend wonderful service to each and every one of our guests!
We Yelped this on our way to San Francisco. 5 stars is for the food. Everything we ordered was made to order and very, very good!
Stopped by this little gem in the evening. Small family owned business but absolutely great service!!!! Owners and staff are very polite and inviting.
I cannot recommend this place enough, come for the great people and stay for the pasta!
Driven by here plenty of times and never realized there is a tasty little Italian restaurant. Ordered for pickup with a 15-20 min window.
I was craving pasta so so bad and my bestie suggested Ristorante da Maria. I will preface with this: I am so so picky about the alfredo that I eat.
