| - If you want some delicious Italian food that is a step up from your typical Olive Garden, this is your place. My family has come here for years and we always have a great time. We've used the banquet rooms, the small group room ("wine room"), and the dining room, and we've had great experiences everywhere.
My favorite thing about Magg is that when you eat one meal there, you take food home and eat it for the next 3 days. Literally. One dish is easily enough for 2 people, and then if you get a pasta, they give you a second one to take home! It's crazy! And their pasta is good quality too. They use Barilla for the most part, and they have gluten free and whole wheat options for all pastas which is nice. Sauces are gluten free too!
It is a bit more expensive than a local Italian restaurant would be, but it's worth it. Plus they have a Meal for 2 deal that includes an appetizer, 2 entrees (+2 more to take home!) and a dessert. I can assure you that you will leave there fat and happy no matter what you order, but just to give a shout out to my personal favorite menu items:
Fried zucchini for an appetizer. It comes with a lemon-y ranch like dipping sauce that is amazing.
The chopped salad. Comes with blue cheese, avocado, prosciutto, and a house dressing that is the greatest. It's literally my favorite salad anywhere.
Rigatoni D as an entree. Pasta with herbed chicken, mushrooms, and sauteed onions in a marsala cream sauce. It is DELICIOUS.
Zuccota cake for dessert. It's their signature dessert, and when it arrives at your table, you'll see why. It's chocolate cake, chocolate mousse, and chocolate ganache on top in a serving that is large enough for an entire family. Although it's not exactly fat free, it's heavenly.
Ok that's all, I'm done raving, but seriously, if you like Italian food, do yourself a favor and go to Maggiano's next time you're in Beachwood! I promise it's better than your usual Cheesecake Factory experience.
