Absolutely magnificent service from Joe and food was OUTSTANDING! Definitely putting Maggiano's on our regular rotation!

The food and service was outstanding. I was disappointed they no longer carry angel hair pasta. They also discountinued offering the $6 entree to take home. I do think $35 is outrageous to pay for a corkage fee!!!

The food wasn't good at all. We ordered two different pastas and none of them was good. They definitely need to change the Chef!

Nick is an amazing server! So personable and great and building connections. Yummy drinks and the Italian doughnuts are double yummy!

Everything was good, but the noise was a challenge. We had hoped to talk during lunch, but the noise level made it difficult to hear.

First time to this restaurant. The establishment is large and gives you the vibe of high end steakhouse. We were a large group. Our server did not provide any information about the menu items or drinks and did not bring adequate number of menus for the party (4 menus for a party of 12)! After some confusion, we eventually ordered the drinks. The server reported the vintage of the first bottle of wine at the time of ordering wrong and did not present the bottle at the table and proceeded with opening the bottle. The second bottle was also opened before presenting it and confirming the bottle. The food portions were big, although it did not make any sense for the wagyu meatball appetizer to be that large size as an appetizer. Overall, food was acceptable. They managed to separate the bills properly between the different families at the table. Overall Saturday nights are a bit chaotic at most restaurants and you might not get the best impression for the first time. I am not opposed to try this restaurant on a week night with a smaller party and see how they do!

We were unhappy with the new menu and wagu replacing beef. We enjoyed the old recipes and the take home dinners.

Have been going here for many many years. Was disappointed for the first time ever. The chicken parm was my favorite and something I looked forward to each time we went. This time it was different. Unfortunately not for the better. The chicken was more rubbery, and it didn’t have the same texture or flavor I loved so much. I really hope they make the old chicken parm available again someday.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great restaurant with great food, I’ll still go but I won’t get the chicken parm anymore😩

Just wanted to give a quick shoutout,
I pulled up to pick up my to-go order, and before I even had a chance to check in, a gentleman named Ethan greeted me almost instantly. Super friendly, professional, and on top of it. He handed me my order with a smile and was off, maybe heading home?

I was honestly so impressed by the great service that I had to pull over just to give him the praise he deserves. Thank you, Ethan!

Food and service were exceptional. Being a family atmosphere is wonderful, most of the time, but sometimes I would like something a little quieter, such as their patio.

My recent visit to Maggianos was disappointing. The food was subpar, with small portion sizes. My wagyu shells dish was overly salty, mostly sauce, and lacked meat. My wife’s chicken dish was also underwhelming. The bread, which has changed since our last visit, was average. Drinks were overpriced. On a positive note, the side salads were good, and our server was friendly. However, service was slow—water wasn’t refilled, food took a long time to arrive, and despite having reservations, we waited 15 minutes to be seated. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning.

It was one of the best Italian resturants I've been to. The quality of the food, service and prices all were exceptional. 100% will recommend.

This restaurant has been making a lot of changes. The one item I always get is the four cheese raviolis Alfredo no pesto due to allergies. On my note it listed my allergy. When I was eating it the raviolis didn't taste the same. When I asked if they made a change and our server said yes with the sauce it has rosemary in it. I shared I'm allergic to rosemary. No where on the menu did it say it had rosemary in it. With all the menu changes they don't make note to the herbs inside. So if you have any allergies double check since they don't list what they are putting in the meals. Our servers were very nice
