    Celebrated 🥳🎂for my mom. Great service by our bartender and manager was all over assisting staff as well. Best zucchini ever. Been to the chain many times over the years usually in conjunction with a work or association event. Everything we had from pasta to salad was seasoned nicely and delivered hot. Don't miss the meal for 2, $5 pasta to go add on, or option of gluten free or whole wheat. Parking was easy and bathroom clean with plenty of space in the handicapped stall.

    A great place to celebrate any occasion. The place has great atmosphere, we had a rehearsal dinner going on and lots of people around us celebrating birthdays. I had the mussels and took my time to enjoy it. Loved the pomegranate martini as well.

    A fairly large group of us were present in celebration of life for a dear friend and family man. The staff could not have been more hospitable to our entire party. The setting, the service, the food and drink.... all top notch. I can't speak highly enough for the kind and thoughtful way we were tended. Thank-you, Maggiano's.

    It was my 1st-time visit with the family at Maggiano's after church. It was 11 of us. We made a reservation before we got there. We were seated and had two servers for our table. We ordered family style, and wow, how comprehensive the food was. Gio and Sam were fantastic and catered to even my 4yo nephew, a very picky eater. It was my sister's birthday, and they brought out a nice surprise for her. The atmosphere was good, and so was the company. I would visit again.

    food is always really good, but I tried the gnocchi today and honestly didn't really like it... it was mid for ~20$. 4 cheese ravioli is always a favorite and the sauce it comes in is SO GOOD. 5$ take-home is also a great deal and much appreciated.

    This was my first visit, and it was great. First, let me compliment our server Grant, he was top-notch! He really made sure our anniversary dinner was amazing, and I'm thankful for him. I had chicken francese and creme brulee for dessert, and enjoyed them both! Grant even brought out some cookies for our anniversary. We had a wonderful dinner and will definitely be back.

    I know it is a chain. I know it is somewhat theme driven and kitschy. I know it is not novel. However… the wine selection is great, the food is superb, the service is consistently good and it is one of our favorite special occasion places to go. The fettuccine di mare is great. Everything is consistently wonderful.

    Gorgeous restaurant. Beautiful large dining area. Definitely the place to go if you’re craving Italian. Staff was very friendly and the dishes came out fast and fresh. The pasta dishes were fantastic. Waiter was very friendly and kind. Knocking off a star as water was not refilled. Waiter could have been a bit more attentive but otherwise a great experience. The dishes are a great portion and made fresh.

    I always go for the murder mystery dinner. I been twice. Due to the pandemic I was not able to return again. I am still waiting on one in the future hopefully. When you arrive there are appetizers at the bar. We then enter the hall room. Really nice. You can never tell who the actors are. They blend so well. Many courses. Trust me you won’t leave hungry. Great food, entertainment and I do believe winners get a prize. I have yet to win but you never know.

    Perfect place for a business meal, date night, a few drinks at the bar, you name it! The booths are kinda huge, so if you're someone who needs/likes your leg room, you'll be happy!!! I super appreciated that the server was honest in not being 100% sure about every aspect of the way they change pasta dishes for gluten allergies. She had one of the chefs come out personally to talk it over with my partner, who is celiac. And honestly, the gluten free pasta was pretty good! I was very satisfied with my meal. Was it pricey? Yes, but the sizes are very generous and the atmosphere and service are part of the cost. When sitting down for dinner at a restaurant like this, you pay for the experience, and I felt it was fairly priced for that experience.

    I have eaten at this Maggiano’s location on several different occasions. The food and portion sizes are excellent. The service and wait staff at continuously great. If you come to this restaurant, come hungry and be prepared to take food home with you. This restaurant is great for groups, families and couples.

    Maggiano's is always a treat. The food is excellent, and the family style service means not only are you guaranteed not to leave hungry, chances are you'll leave with leftovers. The only negative is how full you'll be! No way around it. Our party of 20+ had a wonderful time in one of the private rooms, for a very reasonable price.

    Dinner was amazing as always. Our waiter was amazing and made sure to check in on us appropriately to ensure we didn't need anything else. I remember when getting a pasta got you another for free, but now it's $5 but still worth it!

    Came with a group of 9 for dinner. Hubby and I had the beef tenderloin tips, and salmon with shrimp. Both were cooked well and really tasty. Busy and bustling atmosphere as usual for a Maggiano’s, but service was great. An enjoyable visit.

    Had a great meal! 3 cheese fondue as starter was amazing. It came with more dip than bread which was awesome, great portion size to share. Our server was Ashley. She was very friendly, patient with our indecisiveness and attentive. We had one small error but was corrected and got a quick chat from the manger whom apologized, which we didn’t even think was necessary. The restaurant seemed clean and appeared to have adequate staffing in comparison to most places these days. Dessert was very tasty.

  • 4/5 Pokegemz 7 months ago on Google
    Very recently remodeled. Everything is brand, new, including the chairs, tables and floors. Very beautifully done. The only complaint we had was a new bread recipe. - definitely not as good as the old, and they also don’t leave the cheese and oil on the table like before.

  • 4/5 Mohamad S. 8 months ago on Google
    Although it’s a bit overpriced and expensive for an Italian restaurant, I have a lot of positive feedback to share. First of all, they were super kind to us and patient with my family, which is always very good to see. And the sous chef came to check up on us and describe some of their cooking procedures and ingredients, as we have some dietary restrictions that they were able to accommodate. As far as the food goes, it’s pretty positive from my perspective. Big portions as you’d expect, with some dishes being fantastic and others being just okay. The cod was super well seasoned and might just be some of the best cod I’ve ever had. The salad and appetizers (bruschetta, calamari, and zucchini) were kinda bland and not worth the cost for them. Cannelloni was pretty average but had a solid portion size. The desserts were extremely sweet, especially the cheesecake and the crumble. On the flip side, we did have a few small issues here and there, but nothing that’s unexpected (malfunctioning olive oil bottle, no parmesan cheese in the shaker, had to request a drink 3 times before it was finally remembered and brought to the table). Overall, it’s a nice experience but a bit time consuming for dinner (took exactly two hours for us to be seated until we finished dessert and left)

    The food was great quality, sufficient portions, and had unique flavor. The service was excellent but took a little while as to be expected at this kind of restaurant. The ambiance was loud and busy, yet cozy with dim lighting and opulent leather booths.

  • 4/5 Kenneth K. 8 months ago on Google
    Maggiano's is a great place for a romantic dinner, family outing or to celebrate a big moment. The menu has something for everyone. When we came there were several large groups on the same evening, the wait staff were juggling and working together to ensure all the tables were having a great experience.

  • 5/5 Lola J. 5 months ago on Google
    We were greeted immediately upon walking in. Vintage atmosphere, open space, nice vibe. Variety of food options available. We ordered the spinach dip, and chicken Parmesan. Both came out in a timely manner. The spinach dip was creamy and tasty. The chicken Parmesan was 2 big & breaded patties with Spaghetti. It was also very good. Billy was out server & he was terrific.

  • 5/5 Melinda B. 10 months ago on Google
    Great experience. Service was awesome. We had GLUTEN FREE pasta. It was delicious.

  • 5/5 Andy R. 11 months ago on Google
    Had the Italian salad and Lasagna and they both had great flavor. Service was excellent and a wonderful atmosphere. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Certainly a place I will visit again. Perfect place for a great meal. Returned on Thursday and had their signature salad which was great and this time had the chicken Parm. The chicken parm was good but not as good as the Lasagna. Service was excellent.

    Great service by Samantha, hostess and chef, who all wished us a happy anniversary. The remodel inside and out looks great. The mini desserts and make a wish menu items are great. Great improvements since last visit.

  • 5/5 Flaviasky13 1 year ago on Google
    The round table was very uneven on the edges, it gets pretty inconvenient to place things on them. Other than that, our visit are always pleasant, especially this visit. It was my Goddaughter's 11th birthday & our waitress Mara was super sweet, nice & lovely, making the birthday girl feels very special. She was very attentive, patient & goes above & beyond to help us to our needs. The food were delicious, like always. We had Peach Bellinis, Sangria, Peach Sweet Tea, Bombalina (Appetizers Sampler), Calamari Fritte, Chopped Salad, Cream of Chicken Soup, Filet Mignon, Chicken Piccata, Linguine Di Mare, Chicken Alfredo & Blackened Red Snapper with Crispy calabrian Shrimp. We will come back and ask for Mara on our next visit. But definitely will request not to be seated on a round table.

    We had a reservations for 8:00. Did the family style meal felt very rushed as it kept bringing everything out we had order immediately because the kitchen closed. Wanted coffee but unable to because they had already cleaned it I did give the server and out saying if they still had any and she said they had cleaned it. Was

    Great experience for an Anniversary party! We used one of the banquet rooms upstairs. Good food. I didn't like the chicken parmesan though. Drinks are good! Had a lot of fun!
