    We were a group of 8, and it was a fun evening. We sat upstairs, which made our boisterous conversation easy to follow as we each sampled a variety of delicious dishes. The tuna tartar and the yuca fries as appetizers were a hit, as were the shorty mash and lamb chops for entrees. The meal was capped with crème brûlée. Leena was super friendly and attentive, and I look forward to a return visit!

    An annual must for us each year prior to the Nutcracker performance. Staff is understanding (a bit late due to traffic), and accommodating to our needs. Service was spot on, not rushed, but aware that we were headed to the play. Food was delicious, and prices were reasonable. We will be back next year without a doubt!

    A Delightful Dining Experience for All Our recent visit to Maggiano's was an absolute treat. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and undeniably upscale. The perfect setting for a special occasion or a family gathering. The food was the star of the show. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. Even our young children were delighted with their kid-friendly options, cleaning their plates with enthusiasm. Whether you're a connoisseur of Italian cuisine or simply looking for a delicious meal, Maggiano's is sure to impress. We can't wait to return!
