I knew I was taking a risk by suggesting Maggiano's to my Fiance when the last time we came, it was not a great experience. Slow service, food, just ok. But we tried it again. Our waitress was nice, but took at least 5-7 mins to come to the table after being seated. She brought us bread though! We ordered an app and I ordered a salad. The meatballs were just warm, not hot... and a bit on the dry side. Then I was wondering where my salad was. That came after we finished the app. (We were hungry!) our food took forever. I started to notice that none of the tables around us were clear. Literally food/dishes on every table that didn't have people at it. There were maybe 4 tables in the whole dining room with people there. Look, I've always loved their Rigatoni D. And when it came out, you could tell it was sitting for a while before it was brought out to the table. I don't know of they are just understaffed or don't care. It was a disappointment and I was wondering how this place is still in business at Annapolis Mall. The rent can't be cheap.

This is a great place for a romantic date night out. Great lightning, location and service. I had the baked ziti and the food portions are generous. I would definitely recommend and be sure to ask the bartender what kind of drinks they could make.Parking: This location is inside of the Annapolis Mall, so there is plenty of parking in the lot outside of the restaurant.

It's been a while since I have been here. The bread was good. The Rigatoni D I got was just ok. It seems like they changed the way the dish was maded. Our server Ebony was excellent and very knowledgeable about the menu.

We always enjoy eating at this restaurant. The food and the service are always excellent. We had excellent server named Justin. He’s the best.
It's been many years since my last visit to Maggiano's. I don't know why I waited so long! I still love this place just as much as I did way back when. For this visit, I introduced my husband, who is a West Coast transport, to Maggiano's to celebrate our third wedding anniversary. After a hectic morning, we just wanted a quiet lunch with some good food.When we arrived, we were promptly seated and our waitress arrived to take our drink orders in no time. I wish I had written this review sooner so that I could tell you her name. She was a sweetheart -- attentive and respectful of our social space, as my husband and I enjoyed each other's conversation. I appreciated her help with making menu selections, especially since I brought my husband there to enjoy his favorite seafood pasta dish that was not on the lunch menu.The timing of our appetizers and entrees was perfect. Our food was fresh, delicious, and plentiful just as I remembered being a key part of Maggiano's service. I am eager to return for branzino with crab imperial, cooked to perfection. Lobster sauce with mashed potatoes, and asparagus with that hint of sweetness grilled vegetables get -- oh man, I'm drooling at the thought. My husband was thrilled with his linguine di mare. The fact that the portion was big enough to shock him was saying a lot because he could pack away that dish. We both took home leftovers, something I always loved about Maggiano's.The food was great, no question. The primary reason that motivated me to write this review was the service we received from our waitress and the manager. Again, I wish I could tell you their names. They made our anniversary celebration so special and memorable. Without being intrusive in our intimate conversation, they acknowledged our celebration by making sure we were comfortable and had whatever we needed to enjoy our meal. You might think this is typical of most restaurants, but the genuine care they showed was heartfelt and still appreciated to this day.We were thrilled with the celebratory chocolate cheesecake and strawberries presented to us. That made my day especially since I had been wanting chocolate-covered strawberries but forgot about them in all my rushing to take care of life obligations. If that wasn't enough, they presented us with a card that was signed by the staff that served us that day. Let me tell you, it was the personal touches and generosity that made this experience so special for us.Kudos to Maggiano's Little Italy in Annapolis Mall! Amazing people are serving us there. Go see them as soon as you can! Lunch is an especially great time to visit. You'll be so glad you did.

Today I had a subpar take out $20 lunch wedge salad. Clearly restaurant staff didn’t care to create an appealing presentation or a pleasant eating experience for me, the customer. My wedge salad consisted of some oversized lettuce leaves some hard boiled egg pieces one or two cherry tomatoes and a couple small avocado pieces I paid extra for … I’ve always been pleased w Manggianos, until today. Mangiannos struck out.

Wish this place was closer to home. Ate lunch here. GREAT food and service. My wife is a very picky eater and they helped meet her needs. Partner was there to assist us. Very nice. Server was new but no issues. She was very nice. 2 hour drive was worth it.Dietary restrictions: Wife does not eat meat. They made alternative choices for here.
