reservations are a must for weekends! – the location is nice but i dont know why the place gets so packed. go with a large group to enjoy the family-style portions. the food is not spectacular but its not bad either. if you absolutely cannot make reservations, grab a seat at the bar and munch on an appetizer to make the wait (id say an hour to 90 mins on weekends) go faster or ask the host for an approximate time and go for a stroll in farmer's market or the grove.
Great place for groups – This is a decent italian restaurant for large groups. Much better than its competitor in terms of authenticity. Dishes are mostly family style. Because of the family focus, it gets pretty crowded - so reservations are recommended.
OVERRATED POOR QUALITY!!! – DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS OVERRATED PLACE...POOR QUALITY SO CALLED ITALIAN FOOD...VERY POOR SERVICE...OVER PRICED...
nothing special – I've been there twice and the food is not that great. It's a chain restaurant with family style portion. Maybe that's why it's not so great. The pasta we had no taste. The salad is a typical green with italian dressing. I don't really think it's worth the price. Maybe if you go with a lot of people it's o.k. but i dont think you should expect much from the food
Dave Corsaro – Having been raised on real Italian food, this comes the closest to the taste I'm most familiar. The only problems I see are that there are a few things on the menu that no real Italian restaurant would ever have and . . . there were a couple of great things they had they took off. The stuffed artechokes were fantastic. Maggiano's says they were just too seasonal. The reality is I don't think many people knew how great they were and there weren't enough orders to keep them going.
iT MAY NOT BE AUTHENTIC, BUT IT'S GREAT – After reading all these bad reviews, I have to say, I have never had a bad meal there, and I go there a lot since I live in the neighborhood. They DO serve PIZZA, and they DO serve fettuccine ALFREDO, b/c I've had both, and they are great! The value is great, you get so much for your money, and the staff has always been pleasant & attentive. The patio makes you feel like you are light years away from Los Angeles. I spent the summer in Italy, and although it may be Americanized- Itali... read more
Maggiano So-So – Seizing upon a few decade's worth of other's historicity and patina and translating it into a limited chain of an Italian restaurant, Maggiano's Little Italy is certainly pleasing to the eye, the decor out of the 40's, the ambiance elegant and refined. It is expensive, and the food standardized to meet the requirements of credit-packing Americana. I dined on a portobello mushroom sandwich, the bread thick, but soggy with mayonnaise, obsuring the flavor of the mushroom. The side dish of cross-cut fries seemed... read more
THIS IS NOT ITALIAN FOOD! – Just because the name is Italian, and the word Italy is in the title, does not make it Italian food! Italian food is red, white and green, like the Italian flag. If you want a steak, some wine, bump into a few celebs then this is the place. If you want pizza and pasta, you're crap out of luck, because they don't serve Pizza and they don't serve Alfredo. Oh yeah, bring a LOT of money, cause this is one expensive restaurant!
Go back to cooking school – Hard to believe but Maggiano's has the worst pasta I've ever attempted to eat, anywhere. The spaghetti was overcooked, therefore soggy and drenched in utterly tasteless meat sauce. The mozzarella marinara fared slightly better, but it, too was swimming in the same tasteless sauce. The only decent dish was the pound cake dessert which came toasted with a scoop of ice cream and hot chocolate sauce. Last, but not least, the wait staff has attitude.
