text: Yes Maggianos is a chain restaurant that can be found in most US statesnYes it is just typical hearty Italian dishesnYes it gets pretty packed here at this particular onenAnd yes I had a pretty awesome experience here even though I would have preferred to dine at a Michelin starred or famous celebrity chefs restaurant here in LVnnI joined some of my old colleagues from my previous job here for dinner during the Interop convention We had a driver take us from our hotel to this restaurant so there was obviously NO parking problem nnWe had a table reserved for about of us and we were seated promptly The place was JAMPACKED for a weeknight But everyone around us seemed to be enjoying their meals and their service It can definitely get pretty damn loud herennWe ordered tons of different pasta chicken seafood and dessert dishes Everything served family style of course Everything that came out tasted wonderful I honestly did not want to look like a mcfatty pig in front of some of the executives I was dining with so I kept my portions on my plate pretty small But when dessert came outI opted to eat my full slice of cheesecake all to myself AND of course nibble on some of the other dessert plates that were still sitting there in the middle of our tablennOur waiterwaitresses were all very friendly And service was quite efficientnnWould I dine at this particular Maggianos again Hmmm well I have about a million bookmarked spots to try out so I probably will not be coming back here anytime soon just due to the fact that I already know it is standard Italian food But I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is not that adventurous with other types of food and just want to enjoy their night with a hearty dinner at a wellknown chain restaurant
