Maggiano's Little Italy

I'm a big believer that you get what you pay for and Maggiano's is consistently good and very affordable. If you're new to Maggiano's you may not realize that many of the menu items come with a second take home meal. This mainly includes their pasta dishes that changes from time to time. If you're looking for an affordable Italian meal that is consistently good this place is really hard to beat. Strongly suggest the Maggiano salad and their lasagna. They've also got a damn good chicken Parmesan!!

I whole-heartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone. First off, you really got the value for money especially when you bring kids there and order their family feast, which comes with 1. Two salads 2. Two starters of your choice 3. Four main dishes 4. A variety of desserts The price for each adult is $36.99 but for each kid it’s only $9.99 (aged 5-12). Can you imagine that? If the food quality is low, I won’t recommend it. But I was thoroughly satisfied by the taste. For the starters, I had mussels and calamari. Both were very nice except that the sauce of the mussels was not as rich as I expected. For the main courses, I ordered Parmesan-crusted cod, spaghetti with meat balls, chicken Marsala, and shrimp fettuccine. I liked every single one of them. The chicken Marsala was the best probably because I like the sautéed mushrooms. The cod was fresh, and came with a slightly sweet flavor. The best part was perhaps the desserts, which included a crème brûlée, tiramisu, chocolate zuccotto cake, lemon cookies, and apple crostada. I took one bite here and another bite there. So satisfying. Of all the five items, I loved the warmly served apple crostada the most. One most commendable thing about this restaurant was the service. Our waitress (I think her name is Keisha) was so friendly and professional. How professional? Well, she paid attention to detail. For example, I ordered a coke without ice. When she gave me a refill, she remembered that and added no ice. When she gave me the bill, she addressed me with my last name. These were little things, but they made customers feel respected.
