The staff was wonderful! I ran into someone who I used to work with who I hadn't seen in a very long time named Layla. She is one of the sweetest people I know. The staff treated my partner and myself like celebrities! The food from the appetizers to dessert was delicious! The ambiance was very comfortable and laid back. My boyfriend and I still talk about it to this day. Thank you for the dining experience of a lifetime! Tonya Nick read more

We went here for a typical date night and everything was delicious. I started off with a lemon drop at the bar while I waited on my reservation and it was made to perfection. For dinner I opted for the spaghetti and meatballs and meat sauce and my companion had the lasagna. Everything was seasoned to perfection and we finished our dinner with the butter cake with fresh cream and berries. We also both had a cocktail and I chose another lemon drop, which was also made very well and my companion had a Long Island iced tea. Our server was very sweet and accommodating, and even offered us a sample of red wine, which was very tasty. I hadn't been to this restaurant in years and I have decided that I definitely need to go back, just a note, they no longer offer the option to carry out an additional entrée if you order an entrée. read more

Maggiano's Little Italy - Butter cake - Italian Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

As many times as I've been to Maggiano's in Annapolis, I am so surprised that it's taken me this long to finally write a review. Better late than never because I've never had anything less than a five star experience at this location. One thing I love is that you can make a reservation in advance so we were seated promptly in a booth as requested for our date night. Our server of the night was Gian (sp?), he was amazing, attentive, personable and full of great suggestions. Gian recommended the Grand Margarita and I must say 10/10, highly recommend :) I started with the Maggiano's salad and went with my usual the Rigatoni D (this time I added grilled shrimp) both were excellent. The Mr. decided on the ribeye which he enjoyed, he was a little bummed they didn't have horseradish but Gian to the rescue with a substitute that did the trick. I was a little disappointed to see Gigi's butter cake was no longer on the menu (was my favorite!), but the Apple Crostada is still a solid choice. Our date night marked another great experience at Maggiano's. read more

Wifey coordinated a lunch gathering for some of our close friends. We gathered for a 2pm lunch and everything was ready to go upon our arrival. We had a nice table tucked away so we could fellowship and catch up and have good ole fashion fun. The ambiance, service and food were excellent as aways and a special shout out and thanks to our server Michael who was awesome!!!! I'll let the pictures define our dining experience; however, this was definitely worth ite and highly recommend. read more

Whew.... This was the italian restraunt I never knew I needed... my God!!! I was surprised I didn't know about this place sooner. My wife and I went on a double date with another couple and came here; and everything was Top-Tier. The food was incredible, flavorful, and so fresh. Best caesar salad I've had. And the lemon cookies were delicious . The whole experience was such a 10 for me, I scheduled another date for my wife and I... 2 weeks later. It was a 10 out of 10 for me. Loved everything I had and tried. It was "LIKE THAT ," forreal. We must go back... we must!!! Service was great. Ambiance was nice, spacious, and calming. Just an all around great Sunday evening, it was. read more

Went here for mother's day last night. We had a 7:30 reservation and were seated about 20 mins later. Understandable due to the holiday. When seated we were met by our waitress Carla who was amazing and catered to our party of 6 just enough. The ambience in here is very classy but still you can come as you go. These may have been the BEST DRINKS i've had in a long time. The food was A1 as well and everything came out quickly. The manager even came to our table and greeted us giving my mother vip card. I take it we were good guests as well ! GO TO MAGGIANOS!! read more

Fancy Italian place hidden in the corner of the mall, with lovely music and cozy low lighting. Servers were pretty clingy but that was probably because of the time. They were otherwise exceedingly polite and helpful. Stuffed mushrooms were fabulous, perfect texture. Mushroom ravioli was unsettlingly sweet but otherwise good. Rigatoni alla vodka had "quite excellent vodka sauce and sausage" per my dining companion. read more

We made reservations for a party of 6. We arrived a little early and our table was ready at the designated time. Patrick was our server and he was great! He was personable, knowledgeable about our food selections and very patient as we had an 80 year old who was asking all types of questions about the menu. Our food came out in a timely manner. It was hot and tasty. I got the grilled Bronzino that was on top of wilted spinach. I enjoyed this dish and would recommend it if you want something that's not full of carbs and more on the healthy side. read more

Maggiano's is one of my go-to spots for dining with my son, especially since they offer a kids' pasta option that fits perfectly with his dietary restrictions. Before heading over, we called to ask about the wait time for a party of five. They informed us there was no wait and said they'd have our table ready when we arrived. You know the Maggiano's vibe--dark, intimate, with soft lighting and elegant cloth table settings. When we checked in, we mentioned our call, and they immediately seated us at a booth. Josie, our server, greeted us shortly after, asking if we had visited before and if we were celebrating anything. My family friend had never been, but the rest of us were familiar with Maggiano's. We were celebrating my son's 3rd birthday (he was asleep at the time). To kick things off, I ordered the Bombalina for the table, and it was devoured quickly. The manager came by to check on us, and everything was going great. For our main dishes, I ordered Chef KB's Lobster Carbonara, bae had the Chicken Arrabbiata with the sauce on the side, my cousin got the Eggplant Parmesan, and my family friend chose the Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp. For my son, I ordered the kids' pasta. While waiting, I went to the car to grab the birthday cake, and the manager told me to give it to the hostess to refrigerate until we were ready. Though the table got a little crowded with all the food, our server did her best to clear items quickly. I've been to Maggiano's many times, and let me tell you, not a single dish disappointed this time. Everything tasted like it was made with love. We didn't finish all the food, so we packed up plenty of leftovers. When it was time for the cake, they added candles to the ones I had brought, and Josie brought it out already lit. It was such a sweet moment--we all sang "Happy Birthday," and the care they put into making my son's birthday special meant the world to us. After we paid, the manager came over with a card for my son, which included a gift card for a free dessert on our next visit. Our total came to $176.95. A big thank you to Josie and the management for creating such a memorable birthday experience for my son after his fun day at the farm! Visited 9/15/2024 around 8:2 read more

Chantel may be the best waitress I've met in the last 5 years, if not longer. She was outstanding in her initial menu presentation, excellent is answering follow up questions, visited the table frequently enough to refill water, take additional orders, etc... all that without being pushy or interrupting the conversation. The food was good- as a journeyman vegan ( who sometimes sacrifices when the right options aren't available ) I made do with the chopped salad. My mate had the chicken Parmesan. The dining room is not reminiscent of a chain restaurant but has the, let's call it, elegance of something more upscale, a nice establishment. At dinner time on a Tuesday the wait was negligible. read more

Here once again. This time we came to celebrate our anniversary. What a spectacular night. Our server Erin greeted us with her warm and welcoming smile. Attended us each course to make sure we were happy with taste and quality. We went with the Marcos for 2 meal and it's such a great deal. Ordered calamari for the appetizer, chicken Alfredo, 4 cheese raviolis and Apple Crostada for dessert! A great recommendation made by Erin! I loved how they had a "candle" at the table. It definitely made the atmosphere much more personal for us. We took our food to go and before we left the manager stopped by to wish us a happy anniversary as well. We really felt happy and we're very amazed with everything. Thank you all again for making the night so special for us!!! read more

This actually was our backup choice for dining on this particular evening, and we were very pleased with service and the food. Our server was very attentive and friendly, and made suggestions based on our "mood". Kids meal -- spaghetti and meatballs was very good (said my 8yr old). Eggplant parm -- another fantastic meal -- eggplant was cooked just right, tender, and flavorful. There were few diners...aside from 1 large party, there may have been 5 tables of diners, so the noise level was very low. Great experience! read more

During my visit today Dara provided excellent service. On top of her having multiple other tables, my family and I truly felt like a priority without taking away from others experience. She made our visit worthwhile. She went as far as to give my niece stickers for Valentine's Day, which we didn't ask for. She was kind and approachable the entire service from beginning to end. End of story ask for DARA when you visit this location! read more

I usually try to find the local quality restaurants when I wanna go out and eat. Tonight we were looking for Italian and well. I know that Maggiano's is a chain. I've had good food and service at others locations. The service was excellent. The food was good. The atmosphere was very nice. Great place to go for a semi elegant evening. read more

The service is great and the atmosphere is appealing. It has a cozy feel, even though the restaurant is large. The food smells wonderful when you enter the establishment.

Maggiano's Little Italy - Here I am ready to enjoy some authentic Italian food! - Italian Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Was craving Italian food and decided to go to this place. Food was very disappointing , very little food for all the money you spend wanted soup and was told they didn't have any. water was served with very little ice, had to wait for bread Service was lousy ! was charged for extra drinks we never ordered , spent 68.88 was not worth the money. This place isn't what it use to be so before you think about going out to eat think twice and don't waste your money on this place. You need to train your servers better. give people MORE for the money there spending cause read more

I didn't have a reservation but I was able to walk in and get the last seat at the bar. The service was pretty quick. Once I placed my order it was out in maybe 15 minutes. This is one of my favorite pastas at Maggiano's, the famous rigatoni D pasta. It's so simple but so good. There's some herb roasted chicken and little button mushrooms garnished with some fresh herbs. The stars of the dish for me are the caramelized onions, the Marsala cream sauce (which is a mix of their Marsala & Alfredo sauces), & the mushrooms roasted in balsamic vinegar. The large noodles are perfect for this dish, it's great for sopping up all the flavors. I even found the recipe on their website so I can try it at home. Instead of waiting for the waitress to run my card and come back with the receipt for signature, I was able to scan the QR code on my bill to pay from my phone using ApplePay or a credit card. Nice touch. I'm glad more restaurants are adding this option. read more

Well, I literally have the same complaint review as my last three visits...Maggiano's continues to raise their prices & lower their quality. Finally, this trip will be the last of our gift cards & we're moving on to a new favorite Italian place. I understand industry times are tough, I'm ok with raising prices, but I'm not ok with diminishing quality based on cutting costs. We've always been ok spending $55+ on our meal, as the plates were hearty, loaded with ingredients. Another visit with noticeably smaller chicken parm, nearly no side spaghetti, and no melted cheese on top- the rigatoni D barely had any chicken, instead was loaded with onions & sauce. We took a tiramisu to-go; getting a very tiny, dry slice. Spending the same price on a meal we are used to a certain QUALITY (and quantity) both have diminished greatly. It was a very disappointing visit, and we definitely did not get our money worth. read more

Dined here on Mother's Day which probably was one of the worst times to come. However I figured they would have been ok with time and seating since CoVID restrictions were in place. We waited over 47mins for one of our appetizers to Grace our presence, yes nearly an hour!!! No excuse no apologies until I asked for more bread or if they went fishing for the salmon for my entree. One of the two Appetizers came out then it took another 20 mins for the next. We only had mozzarella sticks and flatbread pizza... by this time I was full off of bread and appetizers didn't even touch my entree which took another 30mins after the last appetizer arrived. Yes out wait time was nearly 2hrs before we were served our entrees It was the kids first and last time dining here. They were hungrily irritated just as much as I was. Didn't even keep my ginger ale filled. Needless to say a 2hr wait for some noodles was a bit much read more

I am usually an open minded customer with all these recent restaurant experiences due to post pandemic challenges, labor shortages , inflation etc. Unfortunately, I could only give them this average rating. We usually dine in and rarely do not use carryout. Regardless , this carryout experience at Maggiano's Annapolis was not the best. First of all , the food was delicious and very fresh . So that is the upside. We ordered around 3:30 pm on a Saturday and they didn't look too busy being that time of the day. We ordered 2 small side salads , a side order of meatballs , stuffed mushroom and a minestrone soup for a light dinner. On the downside, the soup was only 4 1/2 ounces.! We were shocked when we opened it up we had to measure it. COME ON MAGGIANOS ! Can you spare it?! if you were low on the soup in the kitchen, you should've told us! Then the salads we ordered werd $7.99 a piece were kind of small for that price. The stuffed mushrooms ( like most restaurant appetizers) were way over priced for $13.99. They were both ver good. Dining out has been getting very expensive since the end of the pandemic but it is getting ridiculous. We may give this place a chance again but dine in next time since the food was so good. The menu looks great and I don't think they would serve tiny portions in the dining room. read more

We've been loyal customers for years, but yesterday (Sunday, Dec 22nd, 2024) left us completely disheartened. We went to Maggiano's for a late lunch, only to find out *after* ordering that the to-go menu has been canceled. Honestly, this came as a total shock--no notice, no heads-up, nothing. Even the waiter seemed just as let down, mentioning that MANY others have been complaining about this change. Seriously, why would you do this? It's clear that this decision offers no value to loyal customers like us. Until the to-go options are back, we won't be returning. Good luck with management choices like these--you're going to need it. read more

Do not order take out from here! Order is all wrong and the portion size is not even a quarter of what you get during dining in on top of an already long wait time. If possible definitely would've requested a refund and spent my money else where. If you're in the mood for the food do the dine nothing else. read more

The service was suck ass. The food was great? The wait was a long long time like damn for just salt and pepper. The drinks took 20 minutes 20 minutes!!!!!!!!!! The food took forever too. It was my mother's birthday and the waitress didn't bring us a free dessert like any other restaurant and they didn't even sing or respond with happy birthday to you!? They gave us so much food so three boxes later we got all the good stuff in. Overall not a good experience but it was very fancy and fancy restaurant take forever to get you food but to me the food was not that good. read more

Maggiano's is typically a good place to eat. You pretty much know what to expect from a quality and level of service perspective at Maggiano's. They are consistently and above average. We had a great experience today at lunch with our children. Our server was attentive and very accommodating of our children's needs. This is a frequent stop on our dinning out list, so I am certain we will be back. read more

So let me first start by saying that Maggianos is my favorite Italian restaurant. I definitely would've given Maggianos 5stars but due to making reservations for 7:00 for 4people and arriving at 6:30 just to check in they told us we would be seated closer to 7:00. No problem at all totally understand that because it was pretty busy. But once 7:00 came we asked the hostess what the deal was and how much Longer it would be and she said we are waiting on a table. Well we explained to her that six tables are open in different sections and her response was OH, then we had been seated once we pointed that out. So clearly they have some issues up front and that part isn't managed right. Now on to the food. Started out with the Italian sausage with the peppers and it was delicious very great taste, and of course had to get the fried Mozzarella and Wow that's just the best Mozzarella ever. I decided on Alfredo with shrimp and chicken and that was very good and my choice of pasta to take home was angel hair pasta with a big meat ball. Very delicious. I will definitely be back soon. read more

Wednesday November 27th, 2019 I dined with my husband at this location to celebrate my birthday. We had such an amazing experience! We made reservations beforehand and was immediately seated. Our waitress quickly came over, greeted us, and took our drink orders. She constantly came over to check on us throughout our dinner. What made it an even better experience is that she had such a down-to-earth and bright personality (Ivelisse is the name on the receipt). My drink was delicious. My meal was tasty. My husband's chicken marsala wasn't that tasty I must admit... I remember the sauce tasting differently a few years ago. Another bonus of our dinner was that everything was affordable. I had a $10 off birthday coupon and we also did the two can dine meal for $44.50 (well, $55.50 since we added chicken to our meals). This was such a steal! We had an appetizer, two entrees, one dessert, and two classic meals to take home at $55.50. We could not believe our eyes! We don't live in Annapolis so I don't know how often we will be back, BUT I highly recommend this location! Thank you for making my birthday special (they did not even know I was celebrating aside from the host since I wrote it in our reservation note). read more

I was there for dinner as part of a club that dines our once a month. We set an arrival time of 630. Our orders were taken at about 710 and were not served until about 820. A few in the group asked to have their meals packed to take home because it was later than their normal eating time. It was a Wednesday night and the restaurant was not at all crowded. I ordered Shrimp Fra Diavolo which is normally prepared with spicy marinara sauce, but their version uses a cream sauce. There was a generous number of shrimp but the whole dish appeared to have been pre-prepared and packaged. While the dish was tasty it was unlike the traditional dish. One nice feature is that Maggiano's offers a second meal for take home from a list, such as spaghetti and meat sauce. I selected that and it provided a tasty meal for the next night. read more
