My husband had crab cakes & a Caesar salad. I had the chicken parm and my favorite salad, Maggiano’s salad. We were with another couple and shared the pumpkin cheesecake. Everything was delicious and our waitress was very attentive. I’m never disappointed when dining at Maggiano’s. Love this restaurant and have been coming for 20 years.

Food was good & the portions were big. We had plenty leftover to take home. We thought that the time from getting our salad to getting our main course was kind of long. Restaurant didn’t seem too busy when we were there, so we didn’t know why it took so long to get our entree. Our waitress was very attentive and brought refills of our drinks before we had to ask for them.
