We have been to Maggiano's and usually I do takeout because it is delicious but this time, we went to have lunch while we were shopping. The service was great and the food was as good as always.

Some foods had a great deal. Classic pastas for 12.95 includes a free take home pasta as well. Fried zucchini was excellent.

It is much better than the Olive Garden. The food is good, the portions are generous and if you order one of their pastas, they give you a free dinner to take home.

Modest prices, good lunch choices, packed weekend dinner needs advance reservations or a 20-45 minute waiting

Back in the day magiannos was.packed with lines out the door. Seems like it lost some.luster. noticeable changes.are smaller serving sizes, poorer server quality, and less food quality. Gone big time I guess..pasta came.out under cooked, server seemed overwhelmed and forgot to.bring basic table service for water and napkins after asking three times.. atmosphere and ambiance is still there...more attention...

Good food with reliably consistent flavor. Old standbys, but new items also included on menu. Careful attention to diners with severe food allergies.

Nice atmosphere, nice wait staff I looked, looked for healthy options on menu prior to going. NOT easy ( most high calorie / high calories from fat ) ended up with salad dressing on the side and broccolini Too bad this restaurant won't invest in cooking healthy

We take our toddler daughter out to restaurants all the time. She loves people-watching and trying new foods and she is well-behaved in these situations. Usually, Maggiano's are great (we have been to at least 4 or 5 in different cities). The Old Orchard location, however, has been a disappointment the past few visits. For some reason, it always takes... More

This is a small chain, but a very good one. The food is old time Italian (think pastas like chicken piccata), but really well done. The portions are big but not Jethro sized, plenty to take home and good enough you will want to take it home. Busy, so you might need reservations, but we have eaten in the bar... More

We have eaten here many, many times. Last outing was disappointing. Food was good as always, but service was s-l-o-w and indifferent. Restaurant was not crowded, as we went off peak. Surprised at how slow waiter was to approach table, then he disappeared for a very long time. I'd ordered a glass of wine, and after 10 minutes, I had... More
