Maggiano's Little Italy

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!

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.

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 💪🏾👏🏾👍🏾👌🏾🤩

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.

Matthew was an excellent waiter. He was sweet and kind. He did all the extras and gave us a good experience. We witnessed the patrons at the table next be incredibly rude to the staff. The man at the table was aggressive and it was scary how he escalated. The managers handled the guy with ease. The lady at the table even stole the waiters tip after the man threatened the managers. Unbelievable. Dinner was yummy! Be kind people.

We came here for dinner right after the Chinese New Year's parade 2025. It wasn't very busy, but then everyone started to make a line. Our server Jay was fantastic and very promt. The only issue was the shrimp, and most of the seafood was overcooked. The bread is pretty dry. Calamari was pretty good.

One of my favorite Italian places to eat! Came here on a busy Sunday evening; there were a lot of big groups but we made reservations and were seated right away. Our waiter, Niccolo, gave us great service and was very attentive. We got the crab cakes and stuffed mushrooms for appetizers and they did not disappoint. We also ordered the pomegranate martini and old fashioned and the presentation was A1 as always. The fresh bread, oil and vinegar is one of the highlights every time I come to Maggiano’s; I could eat a whole meal of it! I ordered the blackened salmon with crisped shrimp and mashed potatoes. This was my first time ordering this dish and I didn’t love it due to the spice from what I think were jalapeños but the rest of the dish was pretty good. Overall, I enjoyed our visit and would definitely return here
