| - I love Maggiano's on Sunday afternoon......why? Because it seems that this is the only time that there is any space at all in this huge place.
I usually stick with the basic lasagna meal because it is a house special (eat one in - take another pasta home for lunch - all for one low price). But it is the appetizer that is over the top. Fried Zucchini - not greasy zucchini, not small zucchini, we are talking big, huge long fried strips "of zucchini hand battered with Japanese bread crumbs, fried to a golden brown, served with a zesty lemon aioli cream sauce." This is worth the trip itself.
So, the atmosphere is open, has a large seating area, and many private rooms available for private parties. It also features ample outdoor seating, and since it is currently winter and cold, they offer large patio heaters.
The staff is friendly, usually prompt with your request, and very helpful in suggestions.
I would recommend this location, but do yourself a favor and make reservations, walk-ins will surely wait awhile or be like me, visit on a nice Sunday afternoon.
