Maggiano's Little Italy

Chelsea was an exceptional waitress. The atmosphere is pleasant and calming - love the music. The Maggiano salad was delicious and my chicken Parm was just right. My husband loved his wagyu meatball, and our cheesecake was exceptional.

My husband and I had the most amazing date night at Maggiano’s in Downtown Summerlin. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting — they truly rolled out the red carpet for us. The service was absolutely incredible, attentive without being overbearing, and everything flowed seamlessly. The wine was rich and smooth, pairing perfectly with our meal. We enjoyed a delicious spread — steak with lobster tail, lasagna, fresh bread with oil and balsamic, and to finish, the most decadent desserts (cheesecake and warm apple crostata with ice cream). Every bite was incredible, and the presentation made it even more special. Dessert and wine were the perfect ending to our night. We left feeling so cared for and celebrated. Thank you, Maggiano’s, for making our date night unforgettable — we’ll definitely be back!

Maggiano's home of the Bone Dry Chicken. Does chicken parm not come with sauce? Marinara? Something?? I ordered three orders of chicken parm for delivery last night. All three of them were bone dry. Is the marinara extra? Do I need to specifically ask for it? Are they sending another driver with the sauce? Oh, and the bread. I guess this place doesn't serve bread anymore either. Curiously the pasta looks like it met some marinara at some point, though there was none included in any of these containers. I should have ordered from Olive Garden. Their marinara is terrible, but bad sauce is better than none at all. This place lost a customer. If you are looking for a chicken cutlet with a dollop of cheese melted on it, and nothing else, Maggiano's is for you.

Overall, would recommend and will go back again. We went twice recently. The first time we did regular dining room seating. Our server was super friendly but a little overbearing. I want to eat dinner, not look at photos on the server's phone. 🙄 We had wagyu stuffed shells with ricotta (yummy, creamy, the wagyu blend had a lot of celery/filler; I'd rather have all meat and not spend money for "wagyu" if it's mostly filler), blackened salmon with shrimp (delicious sauce! And definitely has a kick if you like heat; salmon was overcooked but the shrimp were perfect), bruschetta (the highlight of our meal, honestly. The bread had the right amount of toastiness, the tomatoes were super fresh, and the pesto was tasty). We went back again about 2 weeks later and did bar seating. We ordered chicken parm (super crunchy crust! And the plate was big enough to share), bruschetta again, calamari (lots of "babies", not just rings, and great flavor), and roasted asparagus (nice! But thin spears). We also got a mule that packed a serious boozy punch, a rye old fashioned, and a blackberry bourbon lemonade that was very refreshing although I am pretty sure they forgot to put the alcohol in it.

MLI is an excellent place to get authentic Italian cuisine. The service is marvelous, and the food is remarkably delicious and in abundance. Our server was Anthony, and he had exquisite ideas for our group. The food arrived at our table just as he described. From the appetizers to the entre and desserts, we were not disappointed. Oh I highly recommend trying the Italian coffee 😋. MLI 5☆Easy 💪🏾👏🏾👍🏾👌🏾🤩

Our server was kind. Food runners had the orders mixed up, but not too big of a deal. The portions were disappointing. My Italian grandmother would be furious! My lasagna was quite dry Calamari could have more seasoning, zucchini was great, the dressing for it too tangy though. The atmosphere was okay. The tables are crammed a bit, and our 9 person party was seated at an 8 person table with AC extra chair squeezed in. My biggest complaint is the tipping assistance chart on the receipt. They include tax in the calculation for the tip. It is not now, and never has been, normal to tip on taxes.

Update: Met a friend here for lunch. It has been a minute since I last ate here. What we ordered: 1.) Meatball appetizer $16.50 this was delicious meatballs were cooked right and moist. 2.) Spaghetti and meatballs $25.50 My hubby said it was bland and his meatball was over done. 3.) Rigatoni Bolognese $27.50 My friend said it was just ok and over priced in her opinion. 4.) Mushroom Ravioli $25.50 this was just ok also and the ravioli skin was thicker more than I expected. 5.) Lemon Cookies $7.00 for six Located at Downtown Summerlin right next to a beautiful water fountain and across the street from H&M. Dinner night out with a friend and Adam was our server. He was very friendly, attentive and personable. What we ordered: 1.) Meatball appetizer. The meatballs tasted good but a bit over cooked and the Marinara sauce was a bit tart. 2.) Dinner Salad lettuce and ingredients were fresh. 3.) Angel hair pasta with clams and white sauce. The clams were good the pasta was a bit over done not Al Dante. 4.) Lasagna my friend said it was tasty. 5.) lemon Cookies for dessert still yummy but the size of them have gotten smaller. Not bad for a chain restaurant.

We ordered two mains & two appetizers (for pick-up); regretfully, the food was downright awful. I really do hate to say negative things, but management and other customers deserve to know. Overall, my wife and I gave the food quality a 3 out of 10. Neither of us finished anything, and sadly just threw most of the $140 meal away (I've never done that before in my life). With all bad things, I have to say something good: Out of the things we ordered, the Zucchini Fritté we're pretty okay [6/10 🤷‍♂️]. Sorry @Maggiano's
