Had lunch there yesterday. I hate to say it but the experience was ‘meh.’ And $105 for one app, a salad and two entrees with no alcohol seems pretty pricey for the product that was delivered.
Food was pretty bland for both of us. Rolls that were brought out were frozen in the middle and then took longer than they should have to be re-served. Bruschetta tasted only like raw red onion. Meatballs could have been plopped out of a frozen bag from GFS.
Really...

My wife and I were in Saturday night after a long trip out east to Vermont. Our server, Terry? (He's married to the owner's daughter!) was exceptional, as was the food, as was the atmosphere. We will most definitely be back! THANX!!! gk

We were warmly greeted at Maxi's Bistro. Our server was very attentive bringing our drink order promptly. The bread and oil were wonderful. I ordered the chicken piccata which had a wonderful sauce. My husband ordered the mussels which he found wonderful. We were seated at a window which was a fun place to look outside in little Italy. I would highly recommend Maxi's Bistro for a great Italian meal.
