We made the reservation to celebrate our 16 wedding anniversary and go and see The Book of Mormon Broadway show. The host greeted us and acknowledge our anniversary and escort us to our beautiful booth table. One of the managers came in and congratulate us, and provide two glasses of champagne to celebrate our anniversary. We felt very cared and loved by the staff. Our server, Ernesto,, was extremely nice, friendly and smiling all the time. The food was fantastic and we really enjoyed our time at Maggiano’s Little Italy at Costa Mesa. We came all the way from Playa Vista, Los Angeles since your restaurant at the Grove was unfortunately closed last year, . We love Maggiano’s and we hope you can open another one in Los Angeles area. Oh, and please bring back the garlic cheese bread that take 15 minutes to bake and the veal :-)
I went here for the first time with my wife and it was nice. Though I expected a little bit more. The ambience/atmosphere is really good and feels comfy but also fancy/nice. The servers may have been a bit busy though, since it tgey were gone for quite a while and it took some time to get my water refilled. The food was also good, but not great. My wife really liked her Chicken Francese (no real complaints) and my lasagna was alright, but the sauce was thinner than expected and it felt... lacking. The worst part was the temporary menu's Make-a-Wish cake. The canole didn't really take like anything and didn't have much crunch to it (a bit soft). The cake was also not as rich as I expected, which a hint of something like lemon in the cream. But overall the main problem was just how bland it was. But I still liked it enough to want to go back for another try in the future. I want to try different dishes and a dessert from the normal menu too.
Food here was great, we had the lasagna, four cheese ravioli, margherita flatbread, wedge/chopped salads, a glass of wine, and chocolate layer cake. All except for the wine & additional appetizer (flatbread) were within the $51 dinner for two deal. Loved the value & service of this place, Anthony did a great job serving us and made us feel appreciated and at home!
It was a big family birthday celebration. Our wait team was excellent but the credit goes to Nick, our main guy. He was incredible. We wanted for nothing and he continued to make everything wonderful and seamless. The food was delicious but it always is. The atmosphere is very fun and very Italian ( I am Italian and a good judge of that!) Thank you for a memorable night and if you have the opportunity, request Nick to be your wait person. One of the best I have ever seen.
Met a friend here for a late lunch on a Saturday. The place was busy and lively. Family oriented. I enjoyed the Italian Salad. Great flavors. Would like to have some antipasto in it and that would be perfect. Service was great and we didn't feel rushed. Plenty of parking adjacent to the restaurant.
I wasn't able to take much photos during my visit, but I enjoyed dining here at Maggiano's. The venue feels great for any type of group event, whether it's a date to a meeting with friends to an entire reunion with family and relatives, the place feels like it has plenty of seating and parking and a fitting atmosphere for the great Italian dishes you'll get from here. Food is superb! Our group was able to order various pasta and mains and appetizers and we enjoyed them all. I personally enjoyed the Rigatoni D with it's tasty white sauce keeping the chicken and pasta warm, and I really liked the mushroom appetizer and the tiramisu dessert. Service was perfect as we dined. We got our dishes very quickly, and any requests were handled properly. Nothing further to comment, it's good service without issues. Next time I'll dine here, I'll definitely get another serving of that tiramisu and mushrooms, and any pasta really works fine.
Bread was warm, salads fresh. The pomegranate martini was absolutely delicious. All apps and appetizers were fresh, hot and we wanted more.
I have been to Maggiano’s Little Italy many times and it never disappoints. We had a large party with a reserved room and they were very accommodating. Elias had great customer service! Our menu: First Course 🔹Three Cheese Fondue with Crostini 🔹Calamari Frittè 🔹Caesar Salad 🔹Maggiano’s Salad Second Course 🔹Spaghetti with Meatballs 🔹Fettuccine Alfredo 🔹Chicken Parmesan 🔹Salmon, Lemon & Herb with Spinach Third Course 🔹Gigi’s Butter Cake 🔹Chocolate Layered Cake The food was family style, which makes it great for sharing. The dishes were delicious and we were definitely stuffed! We even brought home leftovers. Overall, it was a fabulous and enjoyable dining experience.
