Chain for family-style Italian meals. Semi-upscale chain for classic Italian fare served family-style in a relaxed, polished space.
To me, dining out is not just about the food, it's about the service, atmosphere, price, AND the food. Maggiano's in Philly was one of the only restaurants I rated as 5 star in all those categories! Every employee was welcoming and friendly. Service phenomenal. I ordered whatever Randy, aka Rudolph, said was good, and it was all amazing. Quaint and clean atmosphere. Liked it so much ate dinner there three consecutive days! Prices reasonable considering high quality. Randy and Skylar were excellent servers, and Patti great manager. Even got to meet the owner who was a nice guy. All this and I usually don't like italian food ... I'm Irish! Maggiano's made me love Italian for the first time. Will have to try it again later to further develop my taste!
I enjoyed the food and the Prosecco. Portions are very large and prices are as expected for USA. The service is very friendly and the time was enjoyable. For those of you who are no longer spring chickens, the lighting is a little bit diffused. All in all we were happy with everything.
We always go here when we do a day trip into Philly. The servers are friendly and attentive. They have a delicious frozen peach Bellini (definitely add the swirl - you won’t be disappointed!). They also have the option to do a take home entree for $5 when you purchase one - an awesome deal for the high quality food you receive to reheat for a quick delicious meal. The lobster carbonara is rich with the truffle sauce and the lobster was fresh. Highly recommend!
We stopped by for dinner and it was a lovely experience. Our server was Skylar. She was very pleasant, efficient and on point with checking in, water etc. The food arrived very quickly even though the restaurant was busy with many, many takeout orders. We arrived late around 8:15. The portions were huge and we ended up eating only half of our food. So plan accordingly. :) Everything was delicious. We will definitely return. :)
My group was visiting Philly for a day trip from NYC on a Sunday holiday weekend. We stopped at Maggiano’s for an early dinner, sat down around 4:45 and decided on what to order by around 5pm. It was a perfect time to get there, we had no issues with service or speed of food being brought out. Our waiter was very attentive. The food was wonderful! I had the Lemon & Herb Salmon with a side of Sautéed Broccoli (listed in menu as Roasted Garlic Broccoli). My company had two of the pasta dishes with their own veggie sides - we all completely cleaned our plates. One of us also had a Peach Bellini, which she also enjoyed. This was a perfect time to go because the restaurant was empty enough that we could have great service and a short wait time for our food. We chose to eat here prior to our walk back to The train station and if you have the time to do so, I highly recommend it! This meal was worth it and could definitely hold its own against some of NYC’s best Italian spots.
Went to Maggiano's after a convention. The staff were very accommodating for our reservation, and food requests. The executive chef came out to discuss food allergies and give us recommendations. I had a salmon seared and served with a lemon seasoning. It was done perfectly. I like sushi quality fish, and they nailed it. I'll plan to visit again. Even dealing with normal traffic and several conversations in the city they handled it very well.
Was there for a group dinner and they took great care of us. Have to say the bruschetta was on point and the drinks were heavy pours. Had a nice time.
Our server was outstanding. The food never disappoints. We ordered the shrimp scampi and beef medallions entrees, and the stuffed mushrooms and calamari for appetizers. So so good. Great portions!
