Editorial Review for Maggiano's Little Italy – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Family-style portions and red-checkered tablecloths create a casual, congenial vibe, drawing families and large groups to this feast of Italian-American nostalgia set to a Sinatra soundtrack. The made-from-scratch menu is brimming with traditional dishes, from starters like fried calamari, Parmesan garlic bread and Tuscan-style mussels to spaghetti with meatballs and manicotti with chicken and spinach. For those with room to spare, a piece of sweet tiramisu and a strong cappuccino help finish the meal.

This place is a great restaurant to share some food with friends. Try the pastas and taste how good it is! But the Pizza is even better. Also the service personal is very friendly.

1. The place is too dark. If it is a family place then why the pretense on romance. 2. The food had no flavor. Buco di pepo has more flavor. The clams and calamari were over cooked. The fish had hard dry oregeno on it that did not make a happy mouth moment. 3. The waitress was very slow and she had an attitude. I am not going back.
Pros: A lot of food for the price
Cons: No taste and bad service
