    My husband, (bless his heart) did not want me to cook for our family a large meal this year because I haven't been feeling so good for a while, so we decided against everyone's will to cater out for Christmas! 😥(1st mistake) First Christmas since I've been a Mom (28years)! So, We chose Maggiano's because after doing week's of research, how could we go wrong, right?? Well let me tell you, do NOT order the Holiday Bundle from here! I carefully read where it stated each bundle fed 4-6 people, so we bought 2 bundles to ensure we had enough food to feed our bunch. My husband drove 50 minutes to pick this food up and oh the disappointment!! One bundle was only enough to feed my possibly 2 people. When I called back to the restaurant asking to speak with a Mgr. (who I have to say was extremely kind an understanding), he said the bundle is only " intended" for 2 - 3 people. I said, "Sir, I know how many people I have to feed, and that is not what your advertisement said--so please explain to me what am I supposed to do the night before Christmas an hour before stores are closing...not to mention I'm sick?" He, then offered another bundle but I live 50 minutes away🥴‼ After all of the back and forth, the food to top it of was DISGUSTING‼Taste nothing like Maggiano's at all!! None of it was seasoned at all!! Just GROSS🤢🤢🤮Christmas Dinner RUINED!!!! I ended up having to find food and desserts for everyone anyone anyway. Extremely disappointed. Spent hundreds of dollars only for it to end up straight in the trash.

    Had a really great dinner experience here! The menu is full of traditional Italian favorites, and offers plenty of options for everyone to find something they like. I also really like the fact that for an additional $5 you can bring home an extra meal which is a great deal. I got the spaghetti and meatballs and was impressed with the portion size and flavor. My wife also really liked her gnocchi. Service was also excellent. Our waitress Brittney clearly enjoys her job and really made the meal that much better. Also, they do a 25% military discount which is amazing!

    Absolutely amazing. The ambiance sets the tone for an incredible meal and wait staff. We were lucky enough to have Virgil as our master server and the attention, service was just what we expect and beyond. Ask for this great guy when you go in. The mushrooms and bruschetta were excellent. Thanks to our nephew who ordered those. Gary ordered the lasagna, I don't ever order that but can't wait to go again to order this dish! I had the shrimp scampi, which was to die for as well. Let's just say anything you order is yummy! Go here when you want the best Italian style we have had.

    Maggiano’s is our go to Italian spot. Granted there’s different versions of Italian and what is actually Italian but considering the ambience, portions and taste we love our visit anytime we go there. The food is always delicious and service quick and efficient. There’s a variety of options on the menu catering to different needs of the audience but our ever favorite is zucchini fries which is deliciously crusted with bread crumbs and definitely drool worthy. Bread with olive oil is on the house and definitely makes up for any wait time.

    The meal starts with bread that is both soft and crusty and so good when dipped in their sauce. The steak was absolutely melt in your mouth, cooked to perfection divine. The chicken was perfect. Thin, juicy, flavorful. The thing that stole the show, though, were those crispy potatoes. Incredible. Service perfectly on point. Our waitress was kind and attentive and when she found out we were on out honeymoon, she brought us a toast. We live only an hour and a half away and we 100% will be back with our family.

    Food was very yummy and waiter was great! I love that the waiter asked us if we had any food allergens and gave us a complimentary dessert for our anniversary. The frozen peach bellini was SO good. The long island ice tea was not good though and was very strong. Overall great experience and we will be back! Also recommend reserving seating online in advance!

    The food was delicious as always. We had the salmon and a salad. They are able to substitute any of the veggies on the salmon which was a hit for my wife. We also had the lemonade and the berry tiramisu off the special make a wish menu; both were great.

    We were looking for a good Italian restaurant and it did not disappoint. I had the chicken piccata and the hubs had lasagna. Both were delicious. We ordered the cheesecake to go. It too was delicious! Our waiter Doug was great. Very cozy and romantic atmosphere.

    This place is top-notch. We went there as a perspective reception venue and fell in love with this restaurant. All of the staff we met were kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The building has an area just for receptions and special events. While it's not the largest space we have seen, it is just right for the number of people we are inviting. The old wood and warm atmosphere made us feel comfortable and relaxed. The food is made to order, and it is always hot when it comes out. We have been there twice now in a short time span. It quickly became our favorite restaurant. All of the food that we have eaten there came in such a large quantity that we had to take some home. (I am a large fella, so that is saying a lot) Needless to say we have decided to go with this restaurant as our reception site. We are so looking forward to that meal. Thank you so much for being so welcoming and wonderful.

    We had never been here, but came on Mother's Day. They had a Mother's Day special family style lunch for $44.95 per person, which seems like a lot then realized we got enough food to take home an entire 2nd meal! We got to choose entrees, sides and dessert is included. Guessing the normal menu is more like $20-30/person. Service was outstanding.

    Great food and great portions. Wish the meal came with soup, but I was stuffed after eating the bread and my entree, so I can't really complain. Our server was super attentive and helpful, and the restaurant was full but not really noisy. They must have good acoustics in there. Their Chicken Alfredo is the best I've ever had at a restaurant, miles ahead of olive garden. Great place for parties and groups for special occasions.

    My husband and I celebrated our 27th anniversary at Maggiano's. The food and atmosphere was terrific! Our waiter Sean was helpful and attentive to our every need. His recommendations were on point! We left full and satisfied. We will definitely be returning.

    The experience here at Maggiano's was superb! The whole staff went out of their way to make sure my wife's birthday was the best that it could possibly be!! From the flowers and wine at the most perfect table to our waitress Molly to the manager Jacob the whole experience was excellent! Hats off to all of you for making my wife's birthday a most enjoyable time!!! I would give a hundred stars if possible.

    I recently dined at Maggiano's, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! The food was beyond delicious - every dish was a culinary masterpiece. The flavors were exquisite, and the portion sizes were generous. But what truly set this visit apart was the amazing service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was top-notch. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and pampered. If you're looking for a restaurant that offers both delectable cuisine and exceptional service, Maggiano's is the place to be. A five-star experience all around!

    Wife and I haven’t been here in a couple years. The chicken parmigiana & shrimp scampi were both 5 stars. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was great as always.

    Multiple visits, this restaurant is always on their game. I can't say enough about the meatballs. Always an overall great experience. Recommend: Meatballs, cheese ravioli, chicken francese, fried zucchini.

  • 5/5 Richard B. 5 months ago on Google
    The food was amazing and had the perfect portion!! My wife had the mushroom ravioli and I had the chicken and spinach manicotti. By far the best Italian food we have had in a very long time!

    Came for a birthday dinner with coworkers on Monday. Our server was amazing! He was so fun and friendly and made our dinner extra enjoyable. He was also a fellow Leo ♌️. The food was great everyone got something different from salads, to meatballs and lasagna and everyone enjoyed their dish. I got a birthday lemon cookie treat to make a wish with and a delicious cheesecake to take home. Very great experience for my birthday away from home.

    It was an amazing experience for my wife and her grandmother who share a birthday! Liz was our waitress and she was the best I have ever encountered. She needs a raise! I had a food allergy that she made sure she catered to and even got the chef to come out to talk to me about my selections. The food was so good and delectable! The desserts were so tasty and good! I would go back here again in a heartbeat!

    Had a great experience. Servers were attentive. Food wait was reasonable considerring how busy they were. Everything came out absolutely perfect. The Parmesion chicken was crispy and moist, exactly right. The meet ball have the perfect amount of seasoning. The salad was fresh and there is some magic to the house dressing that pulls it all together so well. I have been recommended this place multiples times and I am super glad we went. Will definitely recommend to friends and family in the future.
