Experiencing the blend of rustic recipes and modern presentation, I was struck by how every dish narrated a tale of passion and heritage, making the meal both a culinary and emotional delight.

Every element of my meal, from the aromatic basil to the freshly baked bread, was a testament to culinary artistry, making it a genuinely uplifting experience that celebrated both tradition and innovation.

If you’re looking for a place with great drinks, solid fries, and a laid-back happy hour vibe, Maggio’s is definitely worth a visit!
I stopped by recently and ordered the Gyro Dinner ($19) and the Chicken Souvlaki Dinner ($19.95), and honestly, I left disappointed with the meals. The gyro meat was so thinly sliced it was burnt, resembling the pre-packaged kind you’d find at a grocery store rather than fresh, quality gyro meat. The chicken souvlaki was nothing more than grilled chicken nuggets served with an abundance of fries, which felt like a letdown for the price point.
On a positive note, both dinners included a fresh, tasty salad, which was surprisingly the highlight of the meal. Still, when you’re paying nearly $20 per plate, the main entrée should shine—not just the salad.
Where Maggio’s really redeems itself is their bar! The happy hour is fantastic, the drinks are well-made, and the bartender was incredible—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The atmosphere at the bar alone made my visit worthwhile. It’s a great spot to grab a drink at a good price, unwind with good conversation, or even sit solo and just enjoy your thoughts and watch the TV(s).
One major drawback was the customer service from the owner/manager. I stood at the counter for over 10 minutes waiting to place my order, watching both him and another staff member stand around eating. They clearly saw me waiting but said nothing—no greeting, no acknowledgment. If it hadn’t been for the bartender stepping in to take my order, I probably...no, i definitely would’ve walked out.
Final Thoughts: Go for the vibe: Drinks, fries, happy hour, and the amazing bartender.
Skip: The overpriced and cheaply made entrees, unless you’re really craving a decent salad.
Customer service: Hit or miss—the bartender is excellent, but management needs serious improvement.
⭐ Rating: 2.5/5 for food, 4.5/5 for the bar experience.
Recommendation: Swing by for happy hour, but sadly, eat somewhere else first, unless you're ordering bar food.

every course is an exploration of flavor, served in a setting that is both relaxed and inspiring; the familiar yet inventive dishes evoke feelings of nostalgia and anticipation in equal measure.

I was pleasantly struck by the harmonious balance of flavors in the pasta dish—each bite a delicate interplay of textures and spices, served in a setting that was both quietly refined and warmly inviting, making the meal a genuine pleasure.

Very friendly neighborhood restaurant. We had a garden salad - very fresh ingredients, and the homemade dressing was fabulous. Our supremo pizza was outstanding! Staff was friendly and outgoing. Even though they do more take-out business, we ate in and felt right at home. Don't be turned off by the outside appearance; the inside is very welcoming. We highly recommend this restaurant.

My family stayed in Alexandria for a week and were fortunate to discover Maggio's. They have a relatively diverse menu with Italian, Greek, and other options. Their desserts were fantastic. And they delivered themselves, which was nice. We actually ended up ordering from Maggio's three separate times due to the ease of ordering and quality of food.

We were passing thru this area and needed to eat. Some of the stores in the strip around this looked a bit shady but so glad that didn't stop us! It was wonderful! There is only a small area to eat. Assume it's mostly for to-go. The food was delicious and portions were huge! Menu has a little of everything and staff was very friendly! So glad we stopped here!! Highly recommend it!!
