Went here with a party of 5 and even though they were busy and we didn't have reservations we were sat right away. I had an IPA and a Moretti, the husband had a cocktail and a glass of wine. We wanted to start with clams, but they were out so we got the mussels instead. They were good. I had the Maxi's pizza which had mozzarella, kalamata olives and basil. The marinara sauce on the pizza was delicious. The husband had the cavatelli with meatballs, which he ate all of. I've also been once before and had the shrimp penne which I really enjoyed. Maxi's is among our 3 favorite LI restaurants.
