I've been in love with Maggiano's since before it came to Phoenix! I grew up going to the locations in Chicago, and am happy to say that the food quality and service is spot on in Scottsdale too! Here are a few tips to dining at Maggiano's that will enhance the experience:
1. Make a reservation... they take them for all party sizes
2. Go with 4 or more people and dine family style! There are tons of menu options, the cost is reasonable, and its bottomless as long as the plate is clear!
3. Wear expandable clothes, you will over eat!
Some of my favorite vegetarian dishes include the maggiano's salad(no prosciutto) , mushroom ravioli, Gnocchi in Vodka sauce, and cheese ravioli in a creamy pesto sauce. I know, none of this is healthy, but every once in a while you need to let loose and enjoy fantastic Italian food!
