We chose to dine at Maggianos after attending a performance at the Goodman Theater. As always, the food was delicious. We were sat 15 minutes before our reservation time, which was nice. Our server was extremely friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend Maggianos for anyone dining downtown.

Chicago, do not sleep on this gem! With the chef’s background of having worked in Miami and Italian restaurants here, the menu has a delightful variety of Latin classics and fresh pasta. Our table ordered all of the above and every detail was extremely well crafted. I had the churrasco which was cooked to perfection. Staff is super friendly and hospitable. La Perla treats their guests like they’re welcoming friends into their home. Do not skip it!
