Excellent. Expensive, but the food is incredible. I really enjoy the calamari, salmon, and tiramisu.
good food, huge portions. Good Food, and huge portions, but not cheap. Better deals elsewhere, but nice fancy place to go once in a while.
all you want - "IF" you can get them to bring it.
Loved that the restaurant was in Westshore Mall Shopping Center. 8 of us arrived about 2pm ona Sunday.... not overly busy and we did not wait more than a few minutes.
Everything was clean & water glasses were refilled very quickly.
The food was somewhat greasy and any vegetable was more like a garnishment rather than part of a meal.
The menu describes unending plates of food until you are satisfied....the only problem was getting the waiters to actually Bring More Food.
I guess the restaurant figures that if they wait long enough to bring a second serving, you'll fill up on water??
Had 8 people at our table - 1st servings not enough to get a decent portion. FINALLY...2nd serving of only 1 item came (then it had only 2 pieces of chicken (for 8 people...what are they thinking????). We cut the 2 pieces of chicken into little pieces and shared & were all still hungry and once again waiting.
.
Without even checking with us the staff decided to serve desert....WAIT.. We wanted More Entree. Too bad for us.
Desert was not enough for 8 people. It consisted of 2 thin slices of the best cake I've ever had...and 2 apple tarts.
We shared....hoped for more - that never came.
In the end.... sadly, we were all still hungry.
We all agreed that Maggianos is way over rated and we would NOT be back. P.F.Changs next door looked inviting.…
Good Italian Food. Overall, very nice atmosphere and good food. The portions were large and the drinks heavy-handed! The room was a little loud, but I guess that's to be expected during season.
