| - My daughter and I were having a girls day and she really wanted lobster or crab Alfredo or something with seafood and pasta. And we were. both crazy hungry bordering on "hangry"! Since we were nearby, at Canyon Ranch SpaClub in the Venetian hotel I thought we'd stop in and try Maggiano's. Our server wasJoey, he was thoughtful, down to earth and helpful with our decision and accommodating our tastes. We started with the calamari which was golden, lightly salted and the perfect crispness that we like in a calamari. Next, we had the Linguine de mare, loaded with clams, mussels, meaty shrimp and bits of lobster, this portion was very generous and I'm glad we shared because we took the rest home which would feed one more! We also had the side of chopped salad with the bleu cheese, bacon, tomatoes, avocado and dressing, we only had a few bites and took the rest home. My daughter REALLY wanted dessert so she ordered their special, Joey described it as a s'mores pie, she was sold. There was a Graham cracker crust which was delicious but hard to cut through, the next layer was this amazing,silky, melt in your mouth chocolate ganache and the top layer was marshmallow which was caramelised by a torch, it tasted more like meringue than marshmallows so maybe I didn't hear the description correctly. The ambiance is very nice inside and I loved the outdoor seating. It was fun watching all the tourists having a good time on Cinco de Mayo!
P.S. We left Maggiano's so full that we had to walk around, Fashion Show is a great mall to enjoy. Also, you'll save money because you're too full to try anything on!!!
