FoodHawk Review:
At Maggiano's Little Italy, it's hard not to have a pleasurable meal. Located inside the upscale NorthPark mall, the large, airy restaurant with its red-checked tablecloths, family portraits, plush leather banquettes and dark polished wood is a magnet for weary shoppers. The huge portions of authentic Italian cuisine will satisfy even the largest appetites. If you're with a group, order from the family-style menu for an authentic Italian dining experience. The extensive wine menu offers many choices by the glass and the restaurant is famous for its potent martinis. Service is friendly and efficient. Expect to wait for a table during peak lunch and dinner hours if you don't have a reservation.
