Maggiano's Little Italy

My husband and I went here for the first time earlier today , Sept 26th for late lunch at around 2:00 PM. Our server was so nice and attentive! From the moment we got in, everyone was smiling and greeted us promptly. Their food is also really delicious in my opinion. I liked the Wagyu meatballs that we ordered! Overall, service was excellent, the ambiance was amazing, people are friendly and their food and presentation were also very good! We will be back!

This was my 1st time attending this restaurant. I choose it from the sign outside. I like trying new restaurants. Sure enough I walked in and immediately had a classic scence. I went in and asked for a table. I was told the tables near the bar are open. I went ahead and sat down. I got a menu with a glass of water to start off. I got a spaghetti 🍝 and it was filling. The amount of noodles took me by surprise. It is plenty and very delicious. Everyone was friendly. Even the coworkers had high spirits. I notice everyone loving their food. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Hands down this was the best Italian restaurant ever. Also its next to the Cheesecake Factory. That would of been a waste of my money or anyone else money, if you didnt want some authentic tasting food such as Maggiano's. Just looking at the two pictures. Make your money mean something when it comes to your taste buds. The chef in the kitchen. Hold it down brother. The service was pretty good. The had a bar eating area where you can go and just eat also without waiting to be seated at a table. Did I tell you to look at that Pic of the food again 😆

Great vibe. Undoubetedly the best ravioli I've ever had. The raspberry lemonade and tea are made with real raspberries. Our server was friendly, drinks rarely sat empty, and food came up promptly. 10/10 can't wait to come back

Amazing food and actualy good chicken Alfredo. Fish was cooked perfect, the beef tips and meatballs were amazing. Authentic wonderfull taramisu and lemon cookies for desert. Had a wonderful time here with the family.

I had the pleasure (read: regret) of ordering Chef KB’s Lobster Carbonara at Maggiano’s Little Italy, and let me tell you — it’s a culinary experience I’ll never forget, mostly because I’m still trying to recover from it. Let’s start with the name. “Carbonara”? Adorable. There’s no guanciale, no silky egg sauce, no comforting balance of flavors — just a random assortment of bacon bits floating around like they fell in by accident. If anything, this should be called Pasta Lobster Soup, because that’s exactly what it is: a watery, confused dish that tastes like someone described carbonara to a chef over a bad phone connection. The lobster? Sad. The pasta? Soaked. The sauce? Still trying to figure out its purpose in life. The whole thing felt like a prank — as if the kitchen staff wanted to see how far they could stretch the definition of “Italian” before someone called for help. Honestly, calling this one of the worst things I’ve eaten in my life feels generous. Maggiano’s, if this is your idea of innovation, maybe just… don’t.

We hosted my daughter’s graduation luncheon here and the food was absolutely delicious! The staff were amazing and the atmosphere was top tier. All the food that was left over was packaged for us to take home and our guests are still talking about the experience. We haven’t lived in Charlotte for long, but know that this will be a return restaurant for my family and myself.

Great food and service! The Rigatoni D, Chicken Parmesan, Fettuccine Alfredo, and Chopped Salad are delicious! Their desserts are great, too! Everything is freshly made to order!
