    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!

    We had a reservation for Valentines so it was a set menu, but we’re still happy with the available choices. It was our first visit here so we were expecting tiny portions, because it always seems like the more expensive the meal is, the less actual food you get. But that was not the case at all with this place. We walked out completely full and happy. Everything we got was tasty, and had zero complaints. The staff was very friendly and they even offer free parking for up to two hours at the attached parking garage, which is a huge plus. It was a little pricey at $70 a person for the fixed menu, but like I said it was more than enough food to fill us up. We will definitely be returning to try out their regular menu items soon!
