Maggiano's Little Italy - Oak Brook

Pros: Excellent food, ambiance, and service.
Cons: Food and wine can be pricey.

My wife and I both love Italian food; she not as much as I, but she would never turn down good Italian cuisine. And finding a good Italian restaurant in the suburbs has proved challenging to say the least. But not long before we were married we ...

Pros: Large portions, good food, especially calamari, filet mignon, swordfish, simple pastas and desserts
Cons: some appetizers and entries are heavy, packaging does not travel well, prices can be high

This is a review of Maggiano's Little Italy location at Old Orchard Mall in Skokie, Il. I did this under the Oak Brook restaurant, with the knowledge of a category lead, because there is no listing for the Skokie restaurant. While recovering from a ...

Pros: Excellent Italian food
Cons: Pricey, and can be noisy

Maggianos--excellent food! I've rarely been disappointed by this restaurant. The prices, however, can be a bit hard on the wallet. Family style dining is available to parties of four or more for a flat price. I highly recommend doing this unless you...

Pros: Great food, huge portions
Cons: Long wait, cramped tables

We walked in to their bakery and immediately the aroma of great Italian food filled the air. We could hear Frank Sinatra crooning in the background. We were told at the host stand that it would be an hour wait...an hour wait!!!! What could possibly...

Pros: Read above -EVERYTHING-
Cons: expensive

As my family walked in to restaurant, we were amazed by the size and amount of people here. We were smart enough to plan ahead, because if you didn't there would be an hour and a half wait!!!! The first question I asked myself was, why would all of these...

Pros: Delicious food
Cons: Terrible service, high price

Are you looking for great food and great service? Look somewhere else. Usually I'm not very harsh on restaurants. Often I'll put up with slow service and even a rude waitress or two. But my experience at Maggiano's left me angry and feeling ripped...

Pros: VERY tasty, plenty of food for the $
Cons: Rather noisy, very often crowded with long wait

I'm a long time lover of this place. Although I now live in the D.C. area (there's one here too at Tysons Corner mall in Fairfax, VA), my introduction to Maggiano's was at Oak Brook back in the early 90s when I lived in the Chicago area. After that, I ...

Pros: great food, excellent atmosphere. Tiramisu alone is worth the vist
Cons: no maggianos in Indianapolis

I cannot remark about how Authentic Maggianos Italian is. Personally I think Olive Garden is just fine, though I would rather frequent a local (non-chain) restaurant.

I will say that Maggianos is the best of the chain restaurants that I've...

Pros: delicious food, great service
Cons: kind of pricey

Maggiano's has it all when it comes to a great dining experience. Super food, great service and a great setting. I have been to both the Maggianos in Chicago and the new one in Houston - where I live. Both restaurants are different but maintain the same...

Pros: Good Food - Large Portions
Cons: Noisy - Long Wait

The first thing that comes to my mind about Maggiano's is good food with huge portions. The food is definitely tasty and I can attest to that being Italian myself. I always leave there saying "I ate too much". The portions are large enough that you...

Pros: Great Food, Tiramisu
Cons: Wait, Price

Maggiano's is possibly the best italian restaurant I have eaten at. The servings are so large, maybe a good sized meal for a horse. The bowls are about one foot across (if not more) and four to five inches deep. The quality is also very good. This isn't...

Pros: Excellent food
Cons: Wait

Located in the Oak Brook shopping center, once you complete your shopping and your feeling a little hungry be sure to stop by Maggiano's restaurant.

I suggest you call early to make reservations, the past couple of times that I called to make...

Pros: Taste, Presentation, Cleanliness, customer service, atmosphere
Cons: Pricey

Wow I love this restaurant. Being from a small town in Illinois I would consider the menu a bit pricey; but thats not much to say from chicagoan's, who are used to that sort of thing. Anyway, I would love to go to maggiano's every night if I lived close...

Pros: flavor, quality, presentation
Cons: a bit pricey, bu not unreasonable

I recently catered from Maggiano's for a small bridal shower. I just wanted to write rave reviews for this place! It was great. Beautiful set up, hot food, wonderful wonderful.

I ordered shells and roasted vegtables, chicken parmigana and...

Pros: Great service and good food
Cons: Too long of wait on weekends

I LOVE this restaurant, come hungry!!!!! They give you so much food that you end up taking at least 2/3 of it home with you. They have this one dish that is a cream sauce with different vegetables and spinach and bowtie noodles. It's to die for.
