We have dropped in to Maggiano's approx. 10 times in the past 2 years & we have been pleased every time. On 2 occasions we went with a large group including small children. They sat us upstairs so the kids would not on the nerves of any of the downstairs patrons & we all appreciated that. The service has always been above average & I am totally addicted to the lobster carbonara. Very generous portions on all menu items. The soups are also outstanding. I highly recommend if you want to drop in for a quick lunch or a more formal evening dinner.
