    I visited on 02/26/2022. The waitress I had could have done a better job. She was not cleaning up the table as new plates were coming in, and we had to hunt her down for refills. The price for the food here is not reflected in their food quality. My husband said this is why he never came back after his first time a while back. I do not recommend this place.

    This was my first time eating at any Maggiano’s restaurant. From start to finish, the service & food were AMAZING! Our group of about 16 dined to celebrate a birthday. Our waiter Ron (I believe that was his name) was great, very accommodating, knowledgeable about the menu, & his positive attitude contributed to our overall dining experience. We got a variety of dishes, & they were all pretty amazing! My favorites were the Fried Calamari & Lobster Carbonara. We had a blast & hope to revisit & try more menu items!

    Delicious food, and very good service. As usual this place makes you happy, makes you have a good day. When you enjoy a good meal your soul is just happy. I definitely recommend this place! Order and main course and get a $5 classic pasta to take home. All their pastas are fresh.

    The food was great, tasted good was hot and good serving size. Only main issue was getting it and actually getting helped to get refills and napkins. Our server was very slow and kept disappearing and took forever to bring each and every course. We were literally the last ones in the restaurant still waiting for our dessert after they had closed and were cleaning up the place. Wish the servers had more attentiveness and actually treated us better. We tried to get another server to help find ours and he didn't want to help either. Great food but maybe go to another location to get better service.

    It's been a while since I've gone to Maggiano's and the first here at this location. The place is located right in the mall area so there is tons of parking everywhere. The place is beautiful from the decorations to the seating which is plenty, I think I even saw event rooms towards the back. We were seated immediately and had our server there just as fast. He took our drink and appetizers orders and they came out fast as well. Everything came out perfect, the food was delicious with so much flavor, we were stuffed by the end of it and my husband who has never been, loved it so much, he wants to come back. We truly enjoyed our dinner.

    I whole-heartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone. First off, you really got the value for money especially when you bring kids there and order their family feast, which comes with 1. Two salads 2. Two starters of your choice 3. Four main dishes 4. A variety of desserts The price for each adult is $36.99 but for each kid it’s only $9.99 (aged 5-12). Can you imagine that? If the food quality is low, I won’t recommend it. But I was thoroughly satisfied by the taste. For the starters, I had mussels and calamari. Both were very nice except that the sauce of the mussels was not as rich as I expected. For the main courses, I ordered Parmesan-crusted cod, spaghetti with meat balls, chicken Marsala, and shrimp fettuccine. I liked every single one of them. The chicken Marsala was the best probably because I like the sautéed mushrooms. The cod was fresh, and came with a slightly sweet flavor. The best part was perhaps the desserts, which included a crème brûlée, tiramisu, chocolate zuccotto cake, lemon cookies, and apple crostada. I took one bite here and another bite there. So satisfying. Of all the five items, I loved the warmly served apple crostada the most. One most commendable thing about this restaurant was the service. Our waitress (I think her name is Keisha) was so friendly and professional. How professional? Well, she paid attention to detail. For example, I ordered a coke without ice. When she gave me a refill, she remembered that and added no ice. When she gave me the bill, she addressed me with my last name. These were little things, but they made customers feel respected.

    I almost went to Cheesecake Factory but decided to visit Maggiano’s instead.I had a very good experience. Waitress - 15/10 very helpful and efficient Seating - 10/10 I’m vision impaired and a sloppy eater. Seating was just right. Food - 8/10. Peach Bellini tasty very small buzz overall good happy hour $7 Chopped salad 15/10 with greens bacon avocado cherry tomatoes blue cheese house dressing very good almost too pretty to eat. Waitress asked chef to prepare without iceberg lettuce and it was a smash sooooo good Lobster seafood carbonara good large portion. The sauce looked more like a broth which made it a stew but still tasty Bread - 10/10 fresh warm out the oven! Neat, small loaves with dipping oil of herbs. I needed a bib because I drizzled it everywhere Drank water Ordered entree dine in and got $6 meals to take home. I ordered 5 so no cooking this weekend. I ordered 2 spaghetti and meatballs, 1 ziti, 1 Alfredo with chicken, 1 lasagna - all good. Took home leftover lobster carbonara. Waitress packed everything and brought more bread to go. I tipped well but I wish I could’ve tipped more. I’ll make up for it next time because I’m going to ask for the same waitress Overall experience 10/10. I’ll definitely be back. Next time I’ll check out the desert sampler and order another dish just to experiment with different dishes.

    Could be better. The Manager was very friendly, also the staff at the entrance was very polite, those who did not attend to one forgot what I asked for lunch and the other was a bit rude for asking him to bring me salt, with the food I did not have much luck. They must give what they offer. there are people who know about fish, no matter how it is cooked a Red Snapper is always Red, now in a place where the Red Snapper is black!!!. Make your own conclusions, my friend had better luck with the Lasagna.

    Had an excellent experince. Prices are high but so is both the quality and the serving sizes! Really good deal for a lunch Togo for the next day. (I think it used to be better but still a great deal.)

    We have had our events hosted here over the years and I’ve come here with friends. Their food is delicious. We had appetizers, salads, pasta, and desserts. Their staff is very attentive and efficient.

    Celebrated our 27 year old's birthday. Servers were helpful and very pleasant. The food was good. We had one wrong dish but it was corrected quickly.

  • 3/5 Jevon M. 1 year ago on Google
    We had an awesome time celebrating Trevina birthday. We were seated right away. The food took some time to come out but it was well worth the wait. The food was well seasoned and plentiful. The hot teas wasn't so good of a selection and the water wasn't hot enough. I am very picky about my silverware and when the forks are bent they shouldn't be used. I had a bent fork and it was not suitable for me. That's why I gave 3 stars.

    Tara and the management team did an amazing job. They made it a very special moment in time, as we gathered to celebrate a birthday.

    I was there on a Saturday in the early afternoon. I was greeted by the hostess as soon as I got in. She was very accommodating since I wanted to sit down near a plug. I sat at the bar bartender was really chill and efficient. Great time and service overall.

  • 5/5 savita c. 1 year ago on Google
    If I could I would give 10 stars to this place. To start with - lovely ambiance, and wait times weren't too bad when we went. We ordered the meal for two which was a great option instead of ordering separate entrees. The spinach artichoke dip was delicious. The mushroom ravioli was fantastic. I think it's one of the best raviolis I've ever had. It was just perfect. We also got the ziti which was really good too. For dessert we got the apple crostada - it was amazing! Their portion size were also really really good. We packed a little bit of almost everything home. And I have to mention their customer service - everyone was so friendly and nice. Our waitress was the sweetest person and we also had a sous chef doing rounds and asking how our food was. Wonderful experience!

    For the amount spent, I expected more, so this was more like an overpriced Olive Garden. The food was OK, not bad but not mind-blowing either. On the menu, very few dishes that were less than 1k calories per dish, perhaps because the portions were big. We've been to other similar semi-upscale Italian restaurants with great tasting food, decent portions and they are not as heavy caloric content as this one. Food presentation was decent. Service was good. For a Sunday lunch it was not too crowded.

  • 5/5 Myrna T. 1 year ago on Google
    Italian food was not what we were looking for when we Googled restaurants, but this restaurant kept coming up at the top of the list, so we decided to try it. This place did not disappoint! We had the sampler appetizer (comes with 4 different appetizer samples). The fried zucchini and calamari were on point! They were so good. The food came out quickly. For it being lunch portions, the portions were still huge! Everything we tried was good. Staff was great and ready to answer any questions we had. Definitely recommend. We will definitely be going back.
