Anybody been to maggianos little itialy?

went here for the first time last night, friends with the GM, man was this meal good.

had family style @ 26.95 pp (i got it for $14) and woah everything was amazing.


first we had stuff mushrooms and spinach and artichokes dip.

then we had 2 big salads and then the chicken marsala(sp?) and veal cutlets came out (all you can eat) along with some rigatoni pasta.

then when your full they bring out literally a half of choc fudge cake, homemade apple pie and ice cream and a half of a damn cheesecake.


this was a dining experience everyone should try once in their life.

this was also the biggest restaurant I've been to with 2 floors seating ~650 people.

anyway, just thought i'd see of anybody else has been here and how was the experience?

I used to be in management with Brinker International at one time ( the owners of Maggianos) at have eaten there many times. The family deal is awesome, with absolutely tons of food. For a chain restaurant, they have excellent food........

Any chain cannot be the best anything

Heh, a chain restaurant. It always sickens me when I hear people praising the god awful slop they serve in chain restaurants, but then I realize that a huge portion of the country doesn't live anywhere near a city. Sucks for mid-westerners.

two of the last three times i've been there, there has been a bug in someone's drink. The family style food is hit or miss. We had one dish that was not very tasty but when they brought us seconds of everything, that dish was awesome. There was no consistency there. We also thought it was overpriced.

I don't like the place.

I like the place. I don't think i would say it's the best Italian in the world, but I do enjoy eating there quite a bit and their food is delicious and generously portioned. I wouldn't go there often so I don't mind the price or the fact that I'm sure their food will put me in an early grave if eaten often enough, but I do enjoy it when i'm there.
