| - Even though I've lived in Scottsdale for several years, it took a trip to Las Vegas to find out about Maggiano's. I had no idea they were a chain, until I looked them up online. Our experience in Vegas' Maggianno's was five stars, but I only gave the Scottsdale restaurant four stars because I feel the dessert portion sizes are much larger in Vegas. And they also have these amazing mints in Vegas. So if I could give Scottsdale Maggiano's 4.5 stars I would. I've always had great service there the three times I've been there. We recently went there for a birthday party of ten people. When I first called to make reservations the guy told me that we had to do family style because the cutoff was nine. So when we called a second time, they said no problem ordering off the classic pasta menu. It's a great promotion. You get one hot meal in the restaurant, and one cold meal to take home with you. Granted the second meal isn't as large as the first one, but you get twice as much food as if you were to order family style. Let's face it, who can eat all you can eat? It's expensive $30 a plate and we had mostly older people and small children, thus the classic pastas made more sense. It's my understanding that you can't take home doggie bags of family style meals either. Their desserts are great. We tried the sampler on our most recent trip and had Creme bruleé, a fruit tart with a great crust, tiramasu, and a chocolate dessert. I don't remember the other two~ When we went there in Vegas it was their fall menu and they served this pumpkin cheesecake with a pecan crust. It was AMAZING!!!! And the size of the slice was enough to feed four people. But the place in Scottsdale was a sliver of a piece. That's was a let down. They do have the recipe online though so you can make it at home. I love the inside. And though it is a chain, I give it three thumbs up. Much better than Carrabba's.
Their lasagna is out of this world, so is their four cheese ravioli, and I think the other one was called Pasta Pomodoro. I'll go back again and again until I feel it's not worth it anymore. This last visit was great with one person giving all ten of us great service. Mary Ann was her name I think . Was even able to use a coupon that they sent me.
Lots of coupons if you get on their mailing list. Oh one more thing, Yelp has them on the wrong side of Scottsdale road on their map. It's on the SE corner.
