I’ve been wanting to try Maggiano’s for so long and finally we got to do so with some great friends for lunch. The restaurant is classic Italian decor. The service was impeccable. Our server Asia was the absolute best. co*cktails at lunch? Yes, please! They were delicious and strong. Our entrées were perfection. All the ingredients married so well together creating mouthwatering bite after mouthwatering bite. Just perfect. 👌🏼😘

The best Italian family style restaurant. Forget those other guys like Olive Garden and their TV dinners!!! YOU HAVE to try. The ambiance is cheerful and the waitstaff is attentive. By the way don't forget to be appreciative of those whom wait on us. Our service staff are needed and valuable.I would eat here often and wish Raleigh had one. Eat, live, laugh & ENJOY!!!!

We went to Maggiano’s for Sunday night dinner, and there was a bit of a wait at 6 pm. Nonetheless, we were able to get seats without a reservation. We ordered the Calamari Fritté as an appetizer, the Italian Tossed Salad, Minestrone (soup of the day), Linguine Di Mare, and the Linguine and Clams. The bread was super fresh and soft. The calamari was crispy and the squid itself was cooked perfectly. The salad was quite nice, but the minestrone was a bit salty for my taste. As for the pastas, there was SO many mussels and seafood in both pastas which was lovely. Although the pastas are not pictured, the portions are generous. We had a little pasta mishap because they forgot the noodles in the dish, but our server was very attentive and it was quickly fixed. Because it is in Southpoint, there is plenty of parking around. All in all, Maggiano’s is a great restaurant and we would definitely come back!

We really liked eating at Maggiano's in Durham NC! The food was delicious, with generous portion sizes for the price and our server Chelsea was awesome. We ordered the Garlic Bread, Chicken Alfredo, and Baked Ziti. Dessert was the Apple Crostada. We did the Meal for 2, which seemed a really nice deal.The most important question: did either of us yummy giggle? I actually did have a small giggle! The sauce and the chicken in my Alfredo were DELICIOUS!Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (fantastic)Cost: $25 eachKid-friendly: Italian food is usually kid friendlyOnto the review!Our meal started with complimentary and VERY yummy fresh bread slices, which Chelsea knew to not being more since we had ordered garlic bread. While the GB had more melted cheese than I cared for, I loved the flavor of it! And it looked fabulous!Jason ordered the Baked Ziti. It could have used a little more baking, but otherwise it was really good! He also would have liked a spicy sausage instead of plain, but he still enjoyed eating it (and the leftovers!)My Chicken Alfredo was honestly the best I have ever had. The sauce alone was so good. The chicken was tender and seasoned throughout. Yummy!The Apple Costrada was a delicious apple pie-like dessert. We had to take it to go (running late to the movie) but baking in the oven didn't ruin it at all.Which, side note, the leftover boxes for Maggiano's are awesome! Aluminum containers with instructions on the lid how to rebake.Overall... great price for great food and a great time. Thanks Maggiano's!

Restaurant is nice… well decorated.. we had to wait for one hour, probably they are short of staff because ones inside no body comes until I have to request the services. We were ignored. Our waitress was super nice! Excellence… not good expectations with the food … not really good. We don’t comeback…
