Maggiano's Little Italy

Good food, good service, great location. We ordered the Rigatoni D and Mom's Lasagna. Both were delicious. I agree with the take home container with the whole extra meal. I cannot wait to go back and use my $10 coupon.

Also, make a reservation!

A few Saturdays ago, I tried to come to this location for dinner around 8. The wait was 2 hours, so I and my dinner-mate decided to get something else. We tried again the next Sunday around 5pm, and the wait was 1 1/2 hours! This seemed crazy, so again, we postponed our Maggiano's.

We decided to give it a third go on Saturday afternoon. We arrived at 1:53 pm, and the wait was 15 minutes for a table of 2. We were seated around 2 and ordered the meal for 2. This deal is great because you get 1 appetizer or salad, 2 entrees, 1 dessert, and 2 additional entrees to take home. (I have heard though, that if you refuse to have dessert, they will charge you everything a la carte. Not sure if this is true though.) Before we were even able to order with our server, the manager came by twice to give us bread. The food, as always, was delicious. That's not even a concern.

I would like to emphasize that we left Maggiano's around 4pm, which means that it took us 2 hours for lunch. The place was not busy. There were a lot of open tables. The problem may have been that it was off hours, so there weren't as many servers??

My usual Maggiano's locations is on Clark and Grand in Chicago, and I think I'll just stick with that instead.

They have exceptional service and very good food!
