What People Are Saying About Maggiano's Little Italy

In Short – Family-style portions and red-checkered tablecloths create a casual, congenial vibe, drawing families and large groups to this feast of Italian-American nostalgia set to a Sinatra soundtrack. The made-from-scratch menu is brimming with traditional dishes, from starters like fried calamari, Parmesan garlic bread and Tuscan-style mussels to spaghetti with meatballs and manicotti with chicken and spinach. For those with room to spare, a piece of sweet tiramisu and a strong cappuccino help finish the meal.

Wow

This place is so overrated!! I had heard from all my friends how great it was so I decided to try it out. I was really disappointed. The food was overpriced, there was barely any of it, and the meatlballs here hard, and the sandwich bread was dried out! I would not reccomend this place to anyone!! The only pro was a nice waiter

Delicious Italian food in an upscale setting
by hempist at Citysearch
I've eaten here 3 times and enjoyed it. I like how the servers are very knowledgeable about the food. They know exactly what's in it, how it's made, and what it's served with. They ask questions and make suggestions which I really appreciate. Most recently I had the chopped salad and it was the best salad I've eaten in about 5 years. Everything was very crisp, the amount of dressing was just right, and it was presented beautifully on a chilled plate. We also ordered the whole wheat pasta (penne) with pesto sauce and chicken. The flavor was fine, I just prefer my pesto sauce thicker. They have wonderful bread and a great marinara sauce too. The atmosphere is upscale but still family and kid friendly. I will definitely eat here again.
- Pros: knowledgeable wait staff, convenient location inside the mall
- Cons: location inside the mall makes it not good for carry out

Attentive service for lunch
by Opinion8d at Citysearch
My spouse and I had a fabulous lunch here. Great food quality, server really knew a lot about the preparation and ingredients of the lunch specials and we had a good time. We had calamari, a chopped salad and a breaded shrimp dish - all were great.
The restaurant was not crowded (thank the economy for that) so of course you'd expect good, quick service - but it was so good that we'll definitely be back. Now, if they would just have more "lunch special" kind of meal offerings, it would help us afford to go more frequently.
- Pros: Easy to get in for lunch
- Cons: Not the most inexpensive lunch meal you can find in the area
