Reviews for Mattarello Cooking - Cucina Italiana in San Diego, CA
My boyfriend and I have been passing by this restaurant for a while and have been wanting to give it a try. So glad we finally... did. Mattarello has a vintage vibe and modern Italian flavors. We really enjoyed the staff- one of the owners greeted me byname! That was a really nice touch. The location is very clean. The food was phenomenal, flavorful, and fresh. Overall, it wassuch an enjoyable experience. They offer cooking classes and I would love to see what that was all about. Read more
My husband and I were signed up for the night pasta class as part of our honeymoon that was planned by Pack Up + Go. At first we... were nervous & didn't know what to expect, but Zach, our server, was very welcoming and attentive. Jess was the instructor ofour small group & she was super friendly, chill, laid back & knowledgeable. We ended up having so much fun that we're planningto take what we learned back home to teach our kids! The food was delicious & the dessert was *chef's kiss*! It's too bad we'rejust traveling otherwise we'd love to come back. If Jess or Zach are reading this, thank you for a great night! Read more
The homemade focaccia was wonderful! Clean, strong smelling perfume bathroom. The service was friendly, but very inexperienced... and needed training. For example, two of us got spaghetti and each of us had to ask for Parmesan cheese, it wasn't offeredeither time the food was brought out, one (of the four) person's order was forgotten, there was a struggle to figure out thebill, and although we were in the special event room for a birthday (and the birthday girl was wearing a Birthday sash) therewas no special effort or dessert for her birthday. We were stuffed at the end, the salad with pears and cheese was great! On aweird note, the cutlery was oddly thin and small for the large plates and large portions. Read more
The class was amazing and the instructor taught at a rate matching the group. Just in our group we made spaghetti, linguine,... bowtie, rigatoni, and tortellini. Would highly recommend it for a date! Read more
I came here with my husband for a date night, we attended the pasta making class + dinner. I loved this place from the moment I... walked in - the decor, Francisco, and the overall experience was amazing. I've never made pasta before and Francisco made it funand easy. I loved that we were able to eat what we had prepared! The food was delicious, fresh, and authentic. The tiramisurecipe that Francisco had from his grandmother was hands down the best I've ever had. I can't wait to go back. Highly recommendfor a unique and intimate date idea. Read more

I planned a surprise pasta making class for my wifes birthday at this place. We had about 14 people for the class and everything... went great! From communicating with one of the owners (Francesco) to the moment we sat down to eat our own made pasta,everything was delightful! I first communicated with Francesco through Instagram about my plan and he was up for it. He evensuggested where our guests would hide while me and my wife come in to surprise her. The class was fun and interactive, welearned alot about how to make pasta from scratch. We might have been a little bit chaotic because all of our friends waslaughing and and not listening (I apologize to Francesco for that) but we really had a great time learning and getting our handsdirty. They also provide you with appetizers to eat while your dough sets, and dessert afterwards. Our server, I forgot hisname, was very courteous and polite. He served all of us like family.Everyone took care of us great! We felt at home InMattarello! Thank you Francesco and everyone working that night!! You guys made my wife very happy with her surprise class :) Read more
