Good Italian Food by Jennifer Y. at InsiderPages

I went to Maggiano's for my birthday and we made reservations ahead of time because we knew the wait would be long. Even with our reservation we still ended up waiting about 15 minutes longer. The food was really good and the service was great. The only downside was waiting for a long time.
Family-friendly restaurant serves up enormous portions of southern Italian favorites in a nostalgic setting.

In Short
Family-style portions and red-checkered tablecloths create a casual, congenial vibe, drawing families and large groups to this feast of Italian-American nostalgia set to a Sinatra soundtrack. The made-from-scratch menu is brimming with traditional dishes, from starters like fried calamari, Parmesan garlic bread and Tuscan-style mussels to spaghetti with meatballs and manicotti with chicken and spinach. For those with room to spare, a piece of sweet tiramisu and a strong cappuccino help finish the meal.

We always enjoy the Italian food at this wonderful restuarant. e most recently visited with the three kids on Mother's Day. The family style meals were perfect and fun. I was worried about our picky eater, but everyone found something to enjoy. Plus, how much fun to get two appetizers, two salads, two pastas, two entrees and two desserts!
The Best Italian Chain Around

If you're looking for huge portions of reasonably priced, delicious Italian food this is the place to go. We've been to Maggianos many times and have always had great food and service. Sure, the hostesses at the reception area could be more cordial, just remember that two high school girls being bombarded by pompous south siders may have a hard time keeping their composure. Make your reservation more than a week in advance unless you like eating at midnight, and you'll experience a great meal!
- Pros: Food, Service, Value

I went on New Years Eve 2006 with my husband and I thought the restaurant was amazing. It was decked out with black and silver balloons and thought everything was festive. We were seated on the dot of our reservation time and our waiter was awesome. He was very fimilar with the menu and very promt service. Yes its a bit pricy but I absolutely didn't feel cheated out of my money. The crowd was a bit roudy but it was new years and alcoholic drinks were plentiful!!! Overall it was an A+ restaurant. I'd definately go back for another wedding anniversary with my husband!
- Pros: awesome food, great service, great waitstaff
- Cons: pricy, bad bathrooms
Great place to dine!

Extremely rude service at the host stand, and no communication with the valet or managers on how long the wait list was. I'm not sure why they list this as a kid-friendly restaurant--the hostess said we could eat in the bar, the only problem was that we had an infant, and not one table would accomadate a high chair!
It did not seem at all like this restaurant was run very well. We don't plan on going back to give the food a try...after reading the other reviews, it doesn't seem like we are missing out on anything anyways.
- Pros: Didn't see any
- Cons: NOT kid-friendly, Rude hostesses, Not well managed
Good Restaurant, but Highly Overrated

This is a great place to get a nice Italian meal. But if you're looking to be taken to Italy, book a flight, not a table. Don't get me wrong, this is some of the best Italian food in town. But it gets more rave than it deserves. Worth going to, but I wouldn't add it to my list of favorites.
- Pros: Good Parking, Friendly Employees, Food for 2 Nights
- Cons: $$$, Long Wait Most Times, Non-Genuine Feel
Wonderful

I really like Maggiano's and was thrilled when they built the one here down south. The food is consistently good, portions huge, the service is always topnotch. I usually make reservations and am taken to my table very close to the reservation time. The Frank Sinatra music adds the perfect touch.
- Pros: great food, great service, ambience
