What People Are Saying About Maggianos Little Italy Restaurant
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.
Great atmosphere & delicious dishes!

This is a great family-style restaurant that will make all palettes happy. Huge, delicious portions, wonderful variety and excellent service. My husband and I had our wedding here at the banquet rooms and Jeff G., our manager, was outstanding! He made the whole event planning process simple and amazing! Thank you Jeff!! Besides our wedding, every other meal here as well have all been great dining experiences.
- Pros: Great food & service
WONDERFUL ITALIAN RESTAURANT
by kyenkin
Maggiano's Little Italy is absolutely delicious. There food is among some of the best Italian food I've had outside of Italy and as someone who has been to Italy four times that's saying something. The stuffed mushrooms are mouth watering, and the garlic bread is so good you want to lick your fingers. The Pesto Linguini with Chicken is one of my personal faves but everything there is wonderful. And what ever you do save room for dessert! It's worth every calorie and gram of fat. The portions are huge but you can always take it home for later or for someone else. The prices are very reasonable and make you wonder how they stay in business with such huge portions. They also have a good size wine selection as well as plenty of mixed drink choices too. The service is always friendly and eager to please. They can make your meal go as fast or as slow as you want depending on your needs. The restaurant has fun, lively, and warm feel to it. It's great for groups or a date. I highly recommend it.

they feed you a lot. but the food is just not spectacular. if you ask me, buca di peppo is MUCH better. the service was decent, except i was late & when i got there we asked for more bread & olive oil for me & she tells us "now you have a lot of food coming, don't eat too much bread." it was sort of insulting, and at the least annoying. she did, i believe, though throw in a free dessert for our group. all in all, decent & probably something to experience, but not as wonderful as others have said, in my opinion.
- Pros: filling, decent italian, good dessert
- Cons: crowded & loud, so so service, overrated
