HUGE entrees, nothing spectacular about the flavor of any dish though.... unfortunately portion size does NOT make up for the lack in flavor. Bread with plain olive oil was just nasty.... Service was less than 100%.... server was a bit scatter brained, a chatty Cathy with no real server abilities.. ... pricing is for more 'upscale' than this place is.... ...... would not make a point to go back for a second try...

Make sure you order whole orders and take some home for later. You tummy will thank you! Great Martinis also.
summertime. outside table with our friends. great beer and better food. My wife introduced me to Maggianos, she used to live in Chicago. The absolute best New York strip I've ever had and the sides were incredible. I am sold. This is probably one of the top three dining experiences I've ever had. I lived in Europe for five years. You gotta' go.
I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys a real taste of italian cooking. Maggianos represents Chicago italian dining in a positive light. The service makes you feel right at home and the people are amazing. Maggianos deserves this five star rating!

By far the best restaurant around. The Salmon is superb, the vegetables are cooked to perfection and the ambiance is all the rave. Although their eggplant parm is not as good as my home made, it runs a close second. I'd recommend you check it out next time you are in Chicago.

Ask for a table outside, and you can enjoy all the fun of Chicago on a Saturday evening. Food and service are also excellent
