Maggiano's - Italian Catering & Restaurant, Chicago

I recently went to Maggianos over the weekend and my friends and I were impressed. The food and service was wonderful and despite the restaurant being fairly crowded and our waiter being busy with other tables, he took his time with us and never made us feel rushed. He was always there for refills and made sure our food was to our expectations. We look forward to our next visit there.

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...

I loved the food here! It's delicious! We go here every easter, and we never leave not sasified. (sorry if that isn't spelled right)The service is very nice, even if it can get a little crowded. The shrimp here is the best i've had. I can't eat shrimp anywhere else! xoxo-megan

The best family style dining around. If you enjoy Italian food and lots of it this is the palce to be. We went on a SUnday after church and there were about 15 in out party with quite a few children. We started with two appetizers: spinach and artichoke dip and the best fried mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce I've ever had. The kids love that and they were gone in no time. For our entrees we ordered spaghetti and meat balls for the children, salmon with dill sauce, chicken caciatorre and spinach and chicken manicotti with a cream white sauce which was delicious. There was so much food and plenty to carry home. For dessert we had creme brulee and Nona's pound cake which had chocolate sauce over vanilla bean ice cream with bananas. I want to go back right now, but it's after midnight. I like family style dining when there are a lot of people with children. The room was loud with laughter and conversation which was jsut fine with me. It's a place that serves up the best food and the ambience isn't bad either. You'll enjoy yourself.

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.

everything is great especially the food!!!!!!

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.

Great food, great service....this so of the best Italian food I have had..great Wine selection. Great for dates, mother daughther days ora group of friends
