What People Are Saying About Maggiano's - Farmers Market
The Editor

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.

Most Valued Dining Experience In LA
by Riley Wave at Citysearch
This is a first-rate, mid-priced restaurant.
Anyone who complains about this restaurant has something wrong with them or is possibly a competitior leaving negative comments.
I dine here a few times a year and the food is always great for traditional Italian American cuisine.
What makes this restaurant stand out is the restaurant's cool / romatic garden courtyard (request to be seated outside), it's quality of food, and a friendly and professional staff.
It's the best restaurant at the Grove that's not too hard on the pocketbook.
Definately a very nice dining experience!
- Pros: Great Traditional Italian
- Cons: None really - call to make reservation Fri-Sun Nights

Nasty Bathrooms
by brettschulte at Citysearch
You'd think a place like this coukd keep their bathrooms clean... I wonder what the kitchen looks like? Staff was too busy swapping head shots and audition stories to bring bread to my table. Seriously? The food was OK, poor attention to detail. The value is there for big eaters and their all-u-can-eat "Family Style" plan, but there too much wrong with the place to really enjoy the experience.
- Pros: Cheap Group Dining
- Cons: Dirty bathrooms, average food, bad services

Terrible service
by MikeS17 at Citysearch
I ordered a drink three times. It never came. The waitress never brought plates for appetizers -- I had to get them myself. Nobody ever refilled the water. The menus weren't even picked up from the table. Simply horrible. There are so many good options at the Farmer's Market -- why would you waste your time at Maggianos? Overpriced, mediocre food, terrible service. Avoid at all costs.
- Pros: None
- Cons: Terrible service
