| - Maggiano's is a solid italian restaurant, but it is a little pricy. It is located in the Fashion Mall, which probably warrants the higher prices, but I just did not think the quality was worth the extra $3-$5 the menu should have stated. They have a private elevator to get up to the restaurant, which is nice. And don't lose your hostess when they lead you to your table; this place is huge and a maze.
I came here for lunch and we began with complimentary bread. Given it was lunch, there was a lunch special for half a sandwich, soup, or salad (pick two). Some people tried this at my table, but it did not look the most appetizing. I tried the gnocchi with sausage. The pasta was cooked perfectly, but the sausage was not the greatest as far as flavor. The sauce was quite good though.
Overall if you are craving Italian while at the Fashion Mall, then Maggiano's will do, but it is pricey and probably won't bring you back to Little Italy in terms of flavor.
