I recently had the pleasure of dining at Maggiano's with friends from the TROSA community, and it was an exceptional experience. Our waitress, Page, provided outstanding service—she was attentive, professional, and genuinely kind, ensuring every detail of our meal was perfect. The atmosphere, delicious food, and warm hospitality combined to create a truly memorable evening. I want to extend my gratitude to Maggiano's for their dedication to excellence and for making our night so enjoyable. For anyone planning to visit, I highly recommend trying the Rigatoni D—it’s a standout dish! Thank you, Maggiano's, for a fantastic experience.

When my family and I visited Southpoint Mall in Durham we decided to start the visit with a nice meal from a sit-down restaurant instead of getting something quick from a fast-food place. After much discussion, it was decided that we would eat at Maggiano’s. When we first entered and approached the hostess’ stand, we were greeted by a very welcoming and attentive hostess who was legitimately happy to be helping us. While being escorted to our table, I couldn’t help but admire the classy, warm atmosphere of the establishment, complete with background music from Frank Sinatra. After being seated in a very comfortable and well-set table, our waitress approached us after a miniscule wait. It was obvious that she was a true professional and loved her job, as she was very friendly and knowledgeable. She then returned from retrieving our ordered drinks and promptly took our orders, and I had decided on the Mom’s Lasagna from the Classic Pasta section of the well-stocked yet not overwhelming menu. While waiting for our food to arrive, I couldn’t help but admire the meticulously cleaned silverware, table clothes, polished wooden accents surrounding the U-shaped booth upholstered with plush black leather. Shortly after she left, she returned with a basket of complimentary bread complete with parmesan cheese and oil, which she hand-prepared at the table in front of us, guaranteeing it’s freshness. Shortly after that she returned with my wife’s appetizer of toast and truffle honey with ricotta butter topped with sun-dried tomatoes, which she happily shared with the rest of the family, and I haven’t tasted a better toast and topping in a long time! When our main entrées arrived, I was impressed by the presentation of my lasagna. It wasn’t simply cut out from a pan and placed haphazardly on a plate but was gently arranged in a shallow elongated bowl sitting upon another plate. Aside from my wife’s homemade lasagna, I have never tasted a better version of this dish than the one offered at Maggiano’s! It was not difficult at all to finish the meal, and I was a little sad when it was all gone. Only my two younger sons were unable to finish their pizzas, so we asked our waitress if she could bring us a to-go container, which she happily retrieved for us. When she returned with the container, she placed the leftovers in the container and sealed it herself! After receiving and paying the check, I escorted my two younger sons to the bathroom, and the men’s restroom was meticulously cleaned! There was seriously nothing at all wrong that I could see with this restaurant, and I look forward to returning for another meal when we visit Durham again!

Maggiano’s is our favorite restaurant in the Triangle area of North Carolina. This evening, for the third consecutive December, our Triangle Area, Carolinas Region, Porsche Club of America, enjoyed its holiday celebration here and everyone was very complimentary about his or her experience. The atmosphere and ambiance are warm and welcoming. Those high ceilings and dark wood columns and beams lend an attractive, upscale feel. The service is prompt, polite, knowledgeable and respectful with excellent listening skills that make communication easy. The menu is very extensive and the meals are fresh, delicious, and fairly priced. Maggiano’s Little Italy is our family’s go-to choice for delicious food in a most comfortable setting with excellent service and fair prices. Plus, convenient parking is readily available and Southpoint Mall is attached to the restaurant. What could be better?

Attended a private event in the back room. The servers were curtious and helpful, refilling glasses and taking away used plates. The appetizers were fried zucchini and crab cakes. Then entrées of salmon with fried shrimp, rigatoni with marinara, and a second pasta dish with chicken and alfredo. There was plenty of food and it was delicious! Finally, the desserts were apple cake with ice cream, and another, I don't recall, but was also tasty. Everyone was well-fed!

Went on Friday 1/31/25 shocked to find out they took most of the favorites off the menu. So sad and disappointed. I purposely went there for their eggplant which was no longer an option and neither was Spaghetti with meat sauce couldn’t believe it. I did try the penne and vodka sauce, which was new to their menu and it was very good, but you need to order extra sauce Otherwise it came very dry. They also decided to get rid of one of their signature ideas that kept us coming back for more. Where in addition to your classic entrée. You could take home another entrée which used to be free up until a year or two ago but now for six dollars you could take home an extra portion, which was wonderful for Hotel stays, we would heat up the extra portion in the hotel. Unfortunately, they have done away with that also now along with major price increases to me. It is not the value for the money anymore. This will probably be our last visit to a Maggiano’s. This Maggiano’s in Durham, I was not happy with the layout when you walk in to either sign up for a table or let them know you’re here for your reservation. You are walking through the bar area/eating area people that are seated there have lines of people standing next to them. I know I would hate to be seated in that area. Sorry to say this was not a good experience for us..

Our family loves eating at Maggiano's! As a family that lives with food allergies, this is one of our safe and favorite places to eat. We appreciate that when we mention someone has food allergies, a chef comes to the table to discuss the menu and what is to be ordered and verifies what is safe. The staff is always friendly and it's a great atmosphere. We tend to do reservations as the wait times can be long. The food is consistently delicious. We will continue to eat here for years to come!

First time here and had a great time. Service was great very informative about the menu and was very patient. Center cut Filet Mignon 🤤mash potatoes 🥔 with asparagus. It hit on every level. PERFECTO!

Great experience on Friday night, I haven’t been to a Maggiano’s in eons! We arrived around 5:30pm and were greeted by a very friendly hostess, I wish I would have gotten her name because she was engaging, charismatic and radiated warmth. We were quickly sat and greeted by our server Carter, who throughout service took very good care of us, they were attentive without being overbearing. I got a smoked old fashioned, which was quite the spectacle. I didn’t realize it would come out in this dramatic glass box filled with smoke. When opened table-side a thick cloud of smoke billowed out, engulfing the table in an aromatic haze before slowly fading into the air. It took the tables around me off guard, it was a head turner! I think next time I’ll order just a regular old fashioned as I’m not one who likes attention but the drink itself was very good. My partner ordered a pomegranate martini, mozzarella sticks and the Filet, all of which were fantastic according to him. I ordered the mushroom ravioli and they were great as well. We were celebrating my partner paying off his student loan debts and I can definitively say the overall service and experience matched the celebration!
