| - Today I went to walk around South Park Mall with my husband and stepdaughter and was delightfully surprised by my husband to eat lunch at Maggiano's!!! I've been here before for special events, but today was nice being on a whim. We say upstairs overlooking the dining area! The staff was extremely helpful and kind with our table. We ordered Marco's Meal for Two which included either 2 side salads of our choice or an appetizer, 2 pasta entrees and dessert. It also included a "take home" pastas for each of us! We chose 2 side salads, the Italian tossed salad and Chopped salad. The Italian tossed salad had a creamy Italian dressing, lettuce, tomatoes, Kalamata olives, pepperoncini peppers, onions and Parmesan cheese. Delightful! The Chopped salad had prosciutto, tomatoes, avocado and blue cheese with house dressing. For entrees, we chose Mom's Lasagna which had layers of pasta, cheese and meat sauce. It was filling and comforting just like from home! I chose the Eggplant Parmesan which was layers of breaded eggplant, marinara sauce and pasta. It was fresh, perfectly cooked and absolutely the best eggplant I've had in years! For dessert my husband chose the Creme Brûlée and loved it. I added an extra dessert because I wanted Tiramisu. It was huge, but the espresso-soaked ladyfingers were perfectly layered in the mascarpone cheese filling and topped with cocoa powder and dark chocolate pieces! I was stuffed but ate it all! My husband chose the lasagna to bring home and I chose the 4 Cheese ravioli. I can't wait to go back!
