| - Ummmm.... Ok, Maggiano's is pretty weak in food and flavor. I suspected that coming in but insisted to myself and gf that it'd be different.
For me, spinach dip is like cheesecake or tiramisu to others...I have to try it everywhere I go. It's good here, but that's where it ends. The pastas, while I've only eaten a few of them, are pedestrian at best, and because of that are overwhelmed with super rich sauces and condiments...not allowed to stand on their own.
But then again, this isn't a place famous for it's authentic Italian cuisine, or properly prepared pastas and other fare. It is well known, I believe, for it's family style offerings, so that's probably the key. Bring a bunch of your friends and family and spend two hours eating and making small talk, then spend two hours wondering what just happened, and of course recollecting the experience at reunions whilst drinking and apologizing... and blushing.
