    It's a worthy italian restaurant with the right ambiance. We have had a great time. Waiter and food are all good and satisfactory. We are lucky to have a table in time. As the reservation via OpenTable did not go through. Even l and my guest all received confirmation from OpenTable. The restaurant has a interesting attitude explaining why I don't have a reservation. And they failed to inform my other guests when I have a table after my request.

    The entree salad portion seems to have shrunk. While the new dishware the salad is now served upon was lovely, i was disappointed with the size, considering the entree salad cost $25.00 once protein was added. It costs very little to add more greens and give the guest a higher perceived value. Otherwise, everything else about the visit was spot on. Our server was very attentive and the food was delicious.

    They were kind enough to let us in but they did not have a record of our open table reservation.

    Brad, our waiter, was excellent. I appreciated him wishing a happy birthday to the correct person. :) The meals are a touch smaller than I remember them - 3 piece manacotti, instead of 4, for instance - but still a very hearty and delicious meal. I would happily recommend Maggianos to everyone!

    Our initial wait staff ended her shift or was “sent off” early in our experience. The pass off and subsequent service was less than appropriate. Delays in ordering, refills, checking back, were the norm for the evening. The restaurant was very busy, our initial person should not have started w us if she was at end of shift. Otherwise, not sure why she was called off. I am disappointed that the signature Maggianos salad no longer includes any iceberg or head lettuce. It used to be the best mix but now it is all artisanal greens - not as good or crispy.
