My wife and I ate here to celebrate our 6 year anniversary. We had the dinner for 2 option and a bottle of one the recommended wine. It was all very good. We will be back again.

Went here tonight with all of the seminar attendees for our final dinner. Initially we were to order our own but ended up doing family style and got a bit of everything (unfortunately I forgot photos till it was too late 😅). The servers were extremely patient and very polite. The restaurant is cute with an old time Italian energy. They had great music and the background noise volume from fellow diners wasn’t bad. My only note would be the women’s bathroom was gross and not kept up/cleaned.

We haven’t dined here since the end of COVID. Our favorite Italian restaurant. Unfortunately it’s a couple hours away from our home so we don’t get here as often as we would like. As experienced in our previous visits to Maggiano’s the food and service was excellent. On the negative side we were seated near the kitchen with swinging doors coming in and out which were very noisy. In addition, traffic from the kitchen has made the carpet pretty dirty looking. The restrooms needed cleaning and resupply also. The restrooms were also dark and dingy.

Very happy we stopped by here after wandering around the mall! Located in the Streets at Southpoint, there is plenty of parking. We came in for lunch on a Sunday and didn't have to wait and were served pretty quickly. The server was very friendly and guided us through the menu. She made sure to ask about allergies and when she realized it was our first time there she told us we'd get a special surprise. When we asked about the soup of the day, she also brought us samples to try. There was also complimentary bread. Service really was spectacular. The chef came out later and brought us crispy zucchini fritte on the house to treat us for it being our first time, and I felt special. They also tasted amazing, and I loved the white sauce that it came with. We ordered the crab cakes, shrimp fettuccine alfredo, and linguine & clams. I liked how the crab cakes came with arugula and plenty of sauce. The crab cakes themselves were a little salty though. There could have been less breading also. The two pasta dishes were delicious. I liked how the clam pasta came with an extra bowl for me to discard the shells -- very thoughtful. The restroom was also very clean and gave me fancy vibes with the smooth jazz playing and traditional decor. Overall the restaurant is decorated the way you would expect a fancy restaurant to be. It was a very lovely dining experience.

Absolutely loved the food. Our waitress was really friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back! We was there Dec 30th. I suggest making a reservation because we drove 40 minutes to get there, the day before, and we would have had to wait 3 hrs to get a table so we left and made a reservation for the next night. That was a weekend day, I can't say how easy it would be to walk in on weekday.

Elijah, Chef Tyler & Chef Greg were amazing Elijah was our waiter/server. He was very kind & attentive to us, providing excellent customer service. They start off with complementary bread with oil. Bread is soft, fresh and flavorful. Once you dip the bread in the oil, its a whole other level of eliteness. I ordered the Margherita Flatbread, Side Ceasar Salad & Chicken Parmesean. I told Elijah that I had a food allergy. Chef Tyler who prepared my Chicken Parm came out from the back to offer an alternative way to prepare the cutlet which was to pan sear it. Customer service was winning me over The margherita flatbread was so good. Side Ceasar Salad for the size still gave a good amount of salad. It came with crutons and fresh cheese and it was delicious. Great appetizer. My date ordered the Crispy Zucchini Fritte. Chef Greg who prepared the Fritte explained that because of the food allergy, he was making the Zucchini fritter differently and it worked out tremendously. The Crispy Zucchini was sinful and scrumptious. The Chicken parm finally comes out and the cutlet was huge. Best cutlet I have ever had. The breading was well meshed and immucalate. Chicken was tasty, moist and juicy and not tough and rubbery. The cheese was on point as well. For drinks, I had the Peach Fuzzy Bellini with the swirl. That was so tasty as well, especially with the puree. Ambience was an old school family restaurant vibe which I appreciated as well Maggianos is a must visit

We chose this location for our wedding night dining spot. All I can say is it was everything you could ask for in a dining experience. We were all thoroughly impressed with our waitress Nadia. Her personality was warm and inviting and she’s very knowledgeable about the menu. She even offered great selections. The food was fresh and tasted amazing. The restaurant staff were all nice and inviting. We spoke to the manager to compliment him on his restaurant. Don’t hesitate to dine here.

Family style meal for a family of 2 adults and 3 kids (12 and under) is a deal! So much food leftover that it ends up being at least 2 more meals. We opted for the bruschetta and meatballs for the 2 apps, and split the mains between a chicken, grilled salmon and 2 pastas (shrimp fettuccine and a ravioli). Since this was a birthday celebration for one of our kids, they even brought out a free lemon cookie dessert as well as the standard dessert platter. Service was a bit casual and not rushed, and we really appreciated the time the staff took to address our allergen concerns (peanut and treenuts). The chef came out and asked questions, and confirmed which wishes were safe, etc. And overall great experience and good for peace of mind with allergen issues. Note: in the past they had a dessert with pistachios, but that was not the case this visit.

This is our annual Birthday restaurant and has been for many years. Myself and 2 of my best friends have birthdays near each other and this year we had the best waiter ever, Brock. He took a picture of us and provided each of us a framed copy. What a wonderful service. Besides that, the food and portions are always awesome. I love the take home deals they offer as well. Great place!!!

The stuff was awesome. They treated my wife like queen, for her treatment of cancer. Wine selection was the best
