You must see live music at the bar! A truly unique and strange place to people watch. Like most Italian restaurants, if they offer an item not on the regular menu it's probably really good!

A trip to Maggiano's is as much about feeding memories as it is about feeding people. You'll find authentic Italian-American cuisine, a warm atmosphere and generous portions. Food is love!

Four cheese ravioli 😍 so delicious! راڤيولي محشية باربعه اجبان .. لذيييذه // Chicken & Spinach Manicotti was very good too. Loooved the apple pie. But the cheesecake was not that good

Love their caesar salad, always ask to add some anchovies. Fresh and delicious. Eggplant Parmesan is good, too, with lot of bread crumbs. Good service, nice sized portions and great atmosphere.

The ambient is like a movie, soft music at night and the food and service is excellent and professional. Try the chefs suggestion if you want a surprise.

Family style deal is awesome! If you order any of the Classic Pasta dishes, you even get an extra take home meal to go - great deal for $12.95 - Loved the eggplant parmesan & baked ziti!

Wonderful. Never had a bad thing. Both spaghetti and meatballs and ravioli are superb. Go early. They fill up

Very accommodating banquet team. Food is good, prices are reasonable, service is attentive, and the halls look good.

I love Italian and this place was just ok to me. If you've never visited their chain, then I'd say give it a try for yourself just to say you've gone.

Had their food a few times. Most recent was the best experience. Went with chicken piccata this time and the dish didn't disappoint.

There are many excellent Italian restaurants in Houston. Maggiano's is not one of them.

If you have four or more people in your party, try family style!

I really want to like this restaurant, but many less fancy places serve better food. Don't get the baked ziti under any circumstances - it is small tubed pasta with a little sauce and no ricotta.
Christi BordenMay 9, 2012
They do a terrific job with large group luncheons ... Seemless and unobtrusive service, delicious and plentiful selections.

Great Italian food. Awesome Happy Hour. Peroni on draft!

Good service, larger than neccessary portions and fair price. Only gripe (not sure about policy now) is that for large parties at dinner, they force you to go family style vs individual orders.

Chef Special: Buy on of the listed items and get one to take home with you! Crazy cool. Can't wait to try my lasagna and the zini I'm bringing home.
Michael PittmanApril 7, 2014
Rigatoni "D" is amazing, and the on the house special is truly great!

Family style is perfect for large parties when dinning in; they have party pans if you have a group of people at home and just get to get something to-go.
Jim DaltonDecember 10, 2014
Everything is amazing and the double food deal is the bomb.

Every one of their cannellonis are awesome. Try it! Sleepy-time if you have it for lunch.

Get the fried zucchini! This appetizer is good (and large) enough to be a meal!

The chicken francese is awesome. A little buttery but you can still be good if you substitute the potatoes for some greens.
Keith FreitagAugust 10, 2014
Any of the house pastas bc u can take one home!

Get the baked ziti for lunch, with another ziti to go for free it's like 4 meals for $12.
Tara SilvaAugust 28, 2011
The lasagna was awesome!!! Love that you get a Classic Pasta for here and 1 to go.
David MooreDecember 30, 2013
Try the classic pastas. Buy one and take another one home!
Stefanie S.October 31, 2013
This restaurant was beautiful but the food was not very good. Their red sauce tasted like it was straight out of a CAN! Fried zucchini was delish though.

You have to try the linguini di mare if you are a seafood lover....Wonderful!!!
Don GibsonDecember 29, 2019
