Reviews for Maggiano's Little Italy in Bellevue, WA
Went there twice, once during an office outing and the other time with my wife after 6 months of marriage. We really liked the... Salmon with Spinach and lemon. It was too good. I also tried their pasta, but I am not a big fan of pasta so can't comment onthat. The place is big, the ambience makes you feel like you are in Italy. We also wanted to have Tiramisu for Dessert but theydidn't have it at that time. Read more
Not the same since COVID: I used to enjoy the occasional jaunt to Maggiano’s and indulge on the Marco’s meal for two. It hit... the spot if you wanted a mound of pasta plus appetizer. The muscles used to taste fresh and the pasta used to have more flavorthan a Stouffer’s microwave dinner. Though I was a regular years ago, sadly, my recent experience at Maggiano’s left mewith stomach pains and a bitter taste of regret and sadness that a once reliably decent Americanized Italian chain could now befeatured on Kitchen Nightmares. I ordered the once delicious muscles and was greeted with what tasted like week-old muscles ina Prego sauce mixed with chicken stock. My classic Ziti came to me with a patina, perhaps from sitting under a heat lamp for30-45 mins, as dinner took an hour and a half to be served. I might not have minded the longer wait if I had been sipping on abeer in the meantime, though that took 30 mins as well—I wish I was exaggerating. It might be worth it to skip this spot andchoose an Olive Garden or perhaps just stay in and order pasta from Domino’s instead. It would save you money and might evenhave the same amount of flavor.

We were there to celebrate our special occasion. My friend had previously tried this restaurant and hence she recommended me to... try their authentic Italian flavors. Although there was a waiting time I felt that in the end it was worth it. Beverly made mefeel so special and took the celebration to a whole new level. I enjoyed all of the food, those were big portions and verytasty, we ordered marinara cheese, garlic bread, chef special soup, ravioli, red sauce pasta and also packed some pasta forhome. Tiramisu at the end was cherry on the cake. I will definitely come back again just to taste your delicious food and getpampered with your wholesome hospitality. I was surprised that being a vegetarian I can enjoy so many varieties of dishes in aItalian restaurant. Thank you so much for making me feel special. Read more
Here we go!! Where do I even start this time. It was SUPERB! And I am so happy that I took another chance and we spent an... amazing family evening at Maggianos. This time we opted for family dining. It was a crazy idea, as we got so much food it wasridiculous. The leftover is alone we'll feed our family until next pandemic. (Not literally, but you get the point) Startingout with mozzarella sticks, they were massive, crispy on the outside and so cheesy on the inside.The Italian salad tastes justlike Olive gardens, I actually ended up eating it next day's leftovers and it was still nice and crunchy. All the entrees werewonderful. Salmon was appropriately cooked, full of flavor and delicious, but the 4 cheese ravioli's really took the cake.Everysingle dish that they brought out was full of flavor, beautifully plated, scrumptious an definitely left me wanting to come backhere sooner than later. Creme brule was as delicious as always. I am beyond pleased with every single dish we had, theservice, the ambiance and the restaurant overall. Whoever worked their magic, keep it up! See you next month. Read more
The hosts are the only reason I’m giving 4 stars. We checked in on time for our 5pm reservation on Friday 3/11/22, & the hosts... said it would be a few minutes to seat us. As we stood to the side, they sat several other guests that came in after us. Itwasn’t until 5:25pm when we reminded them that we had a reservation, that they so rudely took us to a table, and treated uslike we didn’t belong. Everything after that was perfect though. Our waitress, Courtney, was extremely kind and attentive.The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was great. The Maggianos salad was very delicious, and the baked ziti has plenty totake home! Thank you Courtney for making our visit wonderful. I also loved how easy it was to access the restaurant from thehotel via the sky bridge! This area is very well connected and setup. Read more
This establishment seemed to me very nice, cozy and warm, there is a European atmosphere, I was very pleased with the... tablecloths on the tables that complement the style of the restaurant. ? The food was delicious and best of all, my check for 2courses, 1 dessert and 2 sweet non-alcoholic cocktails was ONLY $ 88 ????????. ? I will say that the portions were large andvery satisfying, the only thing that surprised me was the lack of tea / coffee in the menu. ? The restaurant is large, severalrooms plus a banquet hall, there is enough space for everyone!) At the entrance they ask for a certificate of vaccination. ? Ialso want to note the pleasant music, it played not very loudly, but not quietly, creating a very comfortable environment forcommunicating with friends) ? I recommend this place for a family dinner, a romantic dinner and for celebrating a birthday) ? Iliked a little detail in the restaurant, this is a corridor to the toilet, it felt like I was in some kind of hotel. ? By theway, parking was free. Nice place, right in the center of the city!)

Like the saying goes you get what you pay for. Doesn't really apply here. It's really well priced and also very yummy. You get... more then what you paid for. I really do recommend this place over other fast-paced more common Italian restaurants. Theatmosphere is also a plus. Makes you feel like you're driving out in little Italy NY. Enjoy! Read more
