    My wife and I first ate at Maggiano’s three weeks ago and just had to come back. Outstanding overall experience. The food and service are second to none. We had Chicken Marsala, Grilled Salmon w/Lemon and Herbs, and the Warm Apple Crustado for dessert! You won’t be disappointed if you go for a meal!

    Service and Food were top notch. Our server was quick, polite, and went the extra mile for us on a personal request. The dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives is our absolute favorite and the pasta is the best in the city. A perfect date

    Great experience as usual. We had a 2:45 reservation, but due to an accident on the highway we missed our reservation. They still accommodated us. The food was amazing!

    We arrived a little early to have a cocktail at the bar. Service was classy! We seated on time and enjoyed appertizers to share. We were not rushed. We did order main meals and a couple sides (beets and Brussels). The main meals were fantastic, however the sides never came. The waitress was lovely and kept our drinks full. Food and atmosphere was great. We’ll be back again.
