Maggiano's is one of my favorite restaurants.
Calamari, great
Chopped Salad, great
Caesar Salad, good
Veal Parmesan, great
Beef Medallions, good
Tiramisu, really good
The thing to do is to go to Maggiano's with 4/5 friends shortly after you work out (so you can eat more) qand get a family style dinner. You choose a fixed number of apps, entrees and desserts and they bring you as much as you want until you can't eat anymore. Great deal and we have a lot of fun. My one problem with Maggiano's is that the bread is never warm.
I have read some reviews comparing Maggiano's to other Italian chains. If anyone feels that way then they should continue eating at those chains because maybe their taste buds can't appreciate the difference.
