| - This was my first visit ever to Maggiano's, based on several recommendations from friends and family. The first thing i noticed when arriving was the apparent lack of seating in the waiting area. A few more chairs or even a comfy sofa would have been appreciated. The restaurant was dimly lit, obviously to set the mood. Seating was surprisingly quick, but the wait service was surprisingly slow. I was amazed how long it took for the waiter to come by the table just to greet and take drink orders. The food was certainly above par for most italian restaurants in the area. I am a fan of the pasta dishes, particularly the rigatoni - D. I was happy to take part in the buy 1 dinner, take one home promotion that had started a few days before my visit. Like i said, the speed of service needed to be ramped up a tad, as the restaurant was not overly crowded. The one thing i was a little taken back by, was the restrooms on the second floor. It seemed a little out of the way and slightly inconvenient for those folks, like myself, who had never dined there before. But, the food quality and upscale atmosphere makes up for it quite nicely.
