   Not what it used to be … my lasagna was served lukewarm at best in a very nice plate. With a party of 10 including children NO time to send back. Horrible way to celebrate my Birthday!!!

   They clearly revamped menu - same items but HUGE increase in prices! $5 for soda and coffee?!!! $27 for 1 slice of lasagna and $27 for small dish of stuffed shells?! No sides included?! Sadly, what was once our meeting place for family celebrations/get togethers, will no longer be.

   Maggiano’s attempt to become more upscale leaves something to be desired. The push toward higher priced wine begins as we are sitting down. The Wagyu stuffed shells were terrible. Dry shells, tasteless beef which was more like chopped cheesesteak, and why must the sauce be loaded with chili pepper flakes? Everyone else, at the table, enjoyed the linguini with white clam sauce and the beef medallions. This is the second subpar meal I have had at Maggiano’s since late last year and the prices are too steep. I likely won’t return. There are too many better options.

   A place I once loved for its warm, traditional Italian charm. Unfortunately, it has lost that cozy neighborhood feel and now feels more like a cold, corporate chain. While our waiter was excellent—attentive and friendly—the food and overall experience were disappointing. The Chicken Francese was a letdown; instead of golden, crispy cutlets in a buttery lemon-wine sauce, I was served a plain chicken breast with no real flavor, clearly premade. The Chicken Alfredo arrived without the chicken at first, and when it was corrected, it still tasted average at best. Even the bread felt uninspired, resembling something from a grocery store package rather than fresh-baked Italian bread. For the prices they charge, I expected much better quality. It’s clear that over the years, the restaurant’s corporate parent has stripped away the authenticity that once made it special. Sadly, I won’t be returning anytime soon

   The staff is always amazing, however the new recipe for fettuccini Alfredo is lacking and we really miss taking home a pasta for $5.

   Very expensive for less than average food and way overpriced wine selections

    Went to Maggiano's Naperville to celebrate my wife's birthday. Wow! Received a pleasant greeting at the door. Sat us before our reservation time, 10 minutes early, and with two members of our party still en route. Our waiter, Anthony, was polite and helpful. Tweaked one menu item for us. Food just kept coming and was excellent. Very pleased with everything tonight. Will definitely return...
