Maggiano’s Little Italy

Had been waiting and two girls walk in and because they are dressed sluty the manager goes behind us and tells the hostess to sit them fisrt. Kind of crappy in my book. Decided to leave. Waste of my time

Incredible for something that should be ordinary, as it is a chain restaurant. Chain restaurants are notorious for food that puts the soul to sleep, but Maggiano’s serves toasty, hearty delights that nourish.
Service can be a hit or miss, most of the time a hit but getting servers on their off days is a possibility, especially on a busy night. But Maggiano’s stands out above other chain restaurants.

We went here for my son in laws birthday as this is a place we wanted to come to. This place is classic Vegas and the service is actually pretty good. This place does get crowded so a reservation is suggested.
The food is ok… I have never had anything here that I would say was off the charts. The prices are a little higher then you will find in other Italian places but its a chain and its on the strip.
The food is cooked good but there are a lot of items that are bland and under seasoned. What makes up for the food is the ambiance and I am going to steal this part from my friend and fellow Unilocaler, Gregg W. who said this part best.
Classy, Rat Pack Music, Meticulously Clean, Upscale.
Men…wear a suit/​tie or dress it down nicely casual, but certainly no flip flips and gym shorts here!
The dark wood interior walls have some nice old Las Vegas framed black n white photos. Tables are white cloth. Nicely dressed wait staff. Bathrooms even have cloth towels! Just a very classy Italian restaurant!
*Full bar w/​dining option.
**Happy Hour specials.
***Reservations recommended for seating by floor to ceiling windows or prepare to go shopping and come back and wait some more, etc.
So I say you should visit this place, try a few different dishes and share your opinion here on Unilocal.This is not my first choice of a place to get Italian food here in Vegas, but if you like a chain and are familiar with the food and you like it, GO, GO, GO and enjoy… its not a BAD place by any means, just not up to my liking to say it is a favorite of mine.

Maggianos has a wonderful ambiance, loud enough to talk comfortably but not too loud to hear one another, the wood work and finishes are pleasing to the eye and make you believe you are in a fine dining establishment, service is not bad at all, very smiley in fact
Bread, olive oil and balsamic were tasty, so was the creamy tomato basil soup and the house white sangria was great, summery and refreshing, perfect for the 104 temps in Vegas now.
But the entrées were Olive Garden worthy at best (I’ve only been to Olive Garden once, but that’s how I remember it), gluttonous servings with extra sauce or garlic butter, trying to please the American palate, in my opinion, instead of authentic Italian, which I believe is simple fresh quality ingredients made with care.
Now the price for the place is pretty reasonable, especially for being on the strip, so maybe heading over for happy hour, 3 – 6 pm, would be a better experience, the bartender seemed to know what he was doing, but as for dinner I would pass

If you ever come across a Maggianos you’ve got to stop and have the regatta I «D» it’s so AMAZING GREAT! The chicken and Carmelo zed onions. mmmmmmm!!!
Also if you like sangria??? YOU’VE GOT To Try it! It’s so refreshing after you’ve been in the heat.

This place has a look and feel of Old Italy. I have never eaten in this area and there are quite a bit of restaurants surrounding each other. We chose the family style service as we had about 6 in our party and it was well worth the $$! We had the salmon with balsamic glaze, chicken franchese (my personal favorite), shrimp scampi, tossed salad, tiramisu, crème brûlée… I am missing a few items but those are the ones I enjoyed! The food was cooked perfectly and the taste– maron! Yummy. It helps to have good company. Our server was knowledgeable and very welcoming. Definitely will come here again :))) it’s a bit pricier but the good ones are. Go! You won’t be disappointed.

Birthday dinner on the strip. Cool.
This place was SO good. We did the family style dining from the back of the menu. Highly recommend that because you can try so many different entrees. We did calamari (yum) Caesar salad (way yum) gnocchi (omg!) chicken Marsala (wow!) fettuccini (didn’t try — oops) chicken parm (yummmmm) tiramisu (amazing) oh and don’t forget my peach sangria. So refreshing and Dee-​lish!
I really liked this place, only negative is that it is SO crowded. Tables are smooshed together and fairly small. Other than that, so good. I hope to go back someday!!!

Why haven’t I been here before??? I absolutely love Italian food, like love! Decided to try out this place last minute and so glad I did. Went during lunch time and had some drinks, appetizers, and pasta! Yummy.
First off, the restaurant is gorgeous and huge. They have a few rooms that can accommodate large parties. Love the fact that they have a specific menu where all proceeds go to the make a wish foundation. Love the view of the strip from the restaurant. Had the lasagna and I thought it was delish! My husband had to be difficult so he had them make him a specific pasta that wasn’t on the menu and they did so without hesitation. The waitress was awesome and suprisingly didn’t seem frustrated by my husbands need to be picky! Lol. Enjoyed everything about our experience!

Maggiano’s is a little oasis in the desert of Vegas. When you step inside, suddenly, you’ve left the hustle and bustle of the strip and have a place to simply enjoy the food and the service which were both wonderful.
Our server that evening was polite and welcoming. It felt like I had a favorite aunt who was there making sure I ate enough because I was too skinny (which I am not lol). We gave her a big tip and she jovially waved good bye to us as we left.
The food is great here too. The dishes are generously portioned with bold flavors and a great adherence to the heart and soul of traditional italian dishes (or at least their americanized version). Highly recommend taking a trip here if you want a solid dinner at a great restaurant.

This place has amazing food and service. Had a wonderful birthday dinner with my friend. Ordered the bruchetta, green salad, chicken Marsala and spaghetti with Italian sausage. Love the bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Every bite was delicious and our sever Nicole is a sweetheart. I will come here again. Posted some pics.

I have nothing but great things to say about the staff and food here at Maggianos. As an event planner I have helped organize small events in their private dining areas and the service is always incredible. I have to say a special thank you to Beth and Sabrina for their great communication and willingness to go above and beyond. I have had so many things to eat here and everything is always delicious, the family style meals are also perfect for larger parties. (You get to try a little bit of everything). If you are looking to host a private party or even stop by for some great Italian, this is your place !

This place is awesome
The food is to die for and one of the fairest priced restaurants in Vegas located in the second floor of the fashion mall. Nice viewed the strip
Cee Cee our waitress was an absolute Darlin
Highly recommend this place

May 24, 2016: Went here to celebrate my sister and nephew’s birthdays! Such a great family friendly place with so much variety.
Our server Hector was phenomenal. He immediately took the order for my nephew (turning 3) who was getting anxious because he was hungry and offered appetizers for the table. We decided on the family style menu and everything we ordered was awesome. I have to come back to Hector’s service. He was so attentive, helpful and genuinely seemed like he wanted to be there. Thank you Hector for an awesome family birthday dinner!

We always have such amazing times here every time we come we always request for Nestor.
His service at our table is phenomenal.
We also got a lot of food yesterday.
We got the four cheese ravioli which was super good. My boyfriends dad loves that dish and he gets it every time.
Boyfriend got the braised beef pasta thing which was amazing. Pasta was cooked perfectly and the beef literally melts in your mouth. I didn’t think that was possible when they say it on TV.
Mom got some sort chicken ravioli or something like that, she really like it.
I got the chicken Alfredo, was a little disappointing as always. It just didn’t taste right lol
Either way the service was so good thatss why I’m giving a five. I’m sure you don’t need my recommendation to go there. Everything is great there.

Been busy lately and time with the GF had been at a minimum. Over the years she has spoken very highly of Maggianos. Having never been before… a window of opportunity would present it’s self to give it a shot. The GF had a gift card, we had the time and reservations were made.
We arrived at the Fashion Show Mall and parked half way from the north forty. We made our way around the outside of the mall and entered.
Very nice atmo and servers in white shirts. We had a window table. Sounds fancy… but it was not. We gazed out on the promenade outside and watched people loiter and or pass by.
Service was initially slow, and pretty much stayed that way through the entire meal. I had a drink run empty and was not addressed until 15 – 20 minutes after.
I ordered up the Chicken Piccata. It looked delicious on the menu. The GF ordered up Chef KB’s Lobster Carbonara.
We chowed down on bread prior to plate touchdown. If they don’t bring the balsamic, be sure to ask for it.
When the plates arrived, I surveyed the contents. It all looked good enough. Dipping into the two plates with my fork… something seemed off. It seemed almost sort of commonplace.
My eyes and my knowledge of the location told me I was at someplace that was supposed to be special. My tastebuds were telling me I have been here many times before. I could not really put my finger on it. That was until I noticed the gift card the GF was partially paying with. On the back of the card, were familiar corporate foodie locations I was well aware of.
Putting it all together, Maggiano’s taste reminded my of other chains. Putting it all together, I can check this off the list.

Everything was perfect:
Early evening, pre show light dinner. Starting with Sis-in-Law’s Lemon Drop and my Peach Bellini — which I received as requested, on the rocks instead of frozen. While the Lemon Drop was excellent, Sis had a little Bellini envy going on, for sure.
We had a calamari and shrimp appetizer which was plenty big enough to share and was served on a colorful bed of greens with a light dressing.
Sis had the Caesar Salad + shrimp, which she has had before and loves. I went for the Spinach Salad and it was perfect, no need to add anything, as bacon and pine nuts were liberally applied.
Service was excellent and happy. Great location + Great food = Great dining experience

The Skinny: for Italian, food is okay but are skimpy on portion sizes for the price (3) service: prompt and efficient (4) baby friendly: They do have a changing station in the family bathroom and their booth can accommodate an infant car seat. Strollers are parked away from the tables. Value: for the level of cuisine, it is definitely overpriced (3).
If I were to sum up what the feeling was after leaving Maggiano’s, it would be an overpriced, upscale Olive Garden.
Don’t get me wrong, the food is definitely better as is the service. But the prices seemed exorbitant for what it was.
We ordered a plate of fried zucchini, a lunch special (half chicken parmesan sandwich and half Caesar salad), and a plate of gnocchi.
The fried zucchini was a bit greasy and the coating was too heavy. The ranch dressing was relatively bland and lacked acidity. For $ 12 it was a smaller portion than I expected.
The lunch special with a half portion of a soup, salad or sandwich for $ 10.50. I got the chicken parm sammy with a half Caesar salad. The Caesar salad was pretty generic and generally uninteresting (there was no garlicky, lemony, anchovy punch at all). The chicken parmesan sandwich was very skimpy on the chicken parm and could have used more marinara.
The gnocchi fared better. The gnocchi was soft and not overly gummy. However the sauce it was paired with was overly salty and needed more acidity to lighten the dish.
Service was good and prompt. Our water glasses remained filled and our food/​check came quickly.
For families, they do have a changing station in the family bathroom which is hovering over the toilet. There is no private area to breastfeed. Strollers are parked around the hostess station while an infant car seat can fit in one of the booths.
Overall, the joint is okay in my books. The level of cuisine certainly does not merit the lofty prices they charge. But then again, this restaurant is on the Strip. 3 starred review.

This was yet another visit to Maggiano’s on our nephew’s birthday for a pleasing authentic Italian dinner. This time the repast was more colorful than usual, with an entrée of Lobster Carbonara accented by reds and greens, and a green-​flecked Chicken Piccata punctuated by capers and a light Lemon Sauce. As usual, entrée portions were large, with ample portions of Veal Parmesan bathed in white Alfredo Sauce, and my sizable medallions of Veal Marsala covered in sweet dark brown Marsala Sauce and topped by uncharacteristic but chompingly enjoyable Button Mushrooms. But I get ahead of myself!
Our meal began with two fine starters: tender rings and tentacles of golden brown Calamari Fritti served with a classic Marinara Sauce and specially prepared Lemon Aioli for dipping, along with large rectangles of thick and cheesy Mozzarella Marinara. A side Caesar with creamy Caesar Dressing and several croutons was a nice bridge to the aforementioned mains. And we finished with an assortment of unexpected complimentary birthday desserts, including tasty Tiramisu and Italian half-​moon cookies. Service was spot on this time, and the view of Wynn just across the street from our faux-​leather booth added some Vegas pizzazz to the comfy red-​&- white-​checked tableclothed and family celebratory ambiance of this old school Italian ristorante.
This time service was spot on!

Good Italian food and great service really makes this location stand out!
Maggiano’s is in the Fashion Show mall, and has a large restaurant and bar area (you can eat at the bar with a full menu).
The food is hot and fresh, and the servers are really on their game… they know what to recommend, they know what they like, and they really help you with your food and wine selections. The service is really, really good!
They have a full Italian menu, plus steaks and seafood. You can even order large dishes to share, aka «Family Style». There is usually a Chef’s selection or two on the menu, and last night I had the Chef’s shells stuffed with Italian beef covered in a red sauce. It was wonderful.
While the food is excellent, the wine list was just so-​so. There could be a few more wines by the glass on the wine list, in my opinion (Example, they had an average Pinot Noir by the glass on the menu… and no Oregon Pinot’s by the glass). The wine list might need a bit of a tune up.
The restaurant, although very large, fills up quickly… there was quite a wait on a Sunday night, and the bar was packed, so it is best to get a reputation.
The prices and quality of the food is very good, and the service is outstanding.

Terrible servicio de parte de la hostess. Llegamos 4 de 5 personas de nuestro grupo y nos dijo que no nos daba la mesa hasta que llegue el quinto. El restaurante estaba casi vacio. Dijo que nos daba una mesa de 4 y cuándo llegue el quinto lo sentaba en otra mesa. Nos negó hablar con el gerente.

Why 3 stars? I really wanted to like this place, especially that it had a nice seating area (with the mall though), and the waiter service was really excellent! Though, the food… I wasn’t expecting this from a 4 Unilocal stars rated restaurant!
I took the lamb loin, and my wife took the salmon salad: both of our plates were less than average! I was really disappointed by the taste, and the texture of the lamb and the salmon. I wondered the freshness of this fish and meat. Additionally, along with the lamb, came some mashed potatoes that had literally no taste.
My review, in other words; the chef has a lot of room for improvement!

Nous cherchions un petit restaurant ou s’arrêter un peu plus loin que les grand casinos, résultat nous sommes arrivé presque au bout du strip devant ce centre commercial, il était déjà une heure plutôt avancé. Nous avons tout de suite trouvé que l’ambiance de ce restaurant semblais calme et posée, exactement ce que nous recherchions.
Nous avons donc diné dans ce restaurant et ce fut vraiment délicieux, le tiramisu est le meilleurs que j’ai pu manger, pas trop alcoolisé et plein de mascarpone comme je l’aime ! La quantité est au rdv et le rapport qualité prix vaut le coup
Je retournerais a Las Vegas né serait ce que pour ce tiramisu !

Vorneweg — das Ambiente ist klasse, der Service sehr gut, und das Essen ist auch hervorragend.
Man kann hier in einer gemütlichen Atmosphäre einen schönen Abend verbringen. Der Service ist hilfsbereit, immer zu Stelle und entspricht allen positiven Vorurteilen.
Zum Essen aber einen Hinweis: Es schmeckt ausgezeichnet aber es macht sehr satt, die Größe der Portionen ist landestypisch. Die Menge des Käses auf den Gerichten auch und ebenso die Menge der Schokolade auf dem Tiramisu. Vielleicht ein wenig überladen für europäischen Geschmack — aber keinesfalls schlecht. Mit landestypisch ist hier übrigens nicht typisch italienisch gemeint…

Good food!
