| - My husband and I typically do not celebrate Valentine's day, but this year we decided to get dressed up and make dinner reservations on Valentine's day; with as busy as it was, we only had to wait about 10 minutes before being seated. Yes, we did have a reservation, but being Valentine's night I would have been surprised if we had been seated immediately. "Marco's meal for two" is the best deal on their menu, so that's what we ordered, and we both got side salads, entrees, a dessert to split, and an entrée each to take home! The spinach salad was fantastic- and even though it came dressed, it was not too heavy. It was also larger than I expected for a side salad. For dinner I ordered the lighter take ziti- YUM. Our entrees came out about 10 minutes after we got our salads, and our waitress actually apologized for it, saying that they had been taking much longer earlier in the evening. Well, I'd rather get my entrée quicker than have to wait ages for it. our waitress that night was attentive but not hovering, and she really seemed to enjoy being there. Nonna's pound cake for dessert was the perfect balance of savory and sweet. Overall, I was especially impressed with Maggiano's on Valentine's night, and it will be hard to pick another restaurant the next time we want to go out.
Side note, the last time we went to Maggiano's the kitchen was a little slow and we ended up being comped an appetizer for the wait. I appreciate service like that.
