I'm a little surprised at all the great ratings. I have to say this was not a good restaurant. While the ambiance is cute and works for a casual Italian restaurant, I was hoping for a great little find. I was with two others and the salads were not good - the Caesar dressing tasted store-bought (and not a good store either). I had the beef carpaccio and have to say it was the worst I have ever had - very tough around the edges and flavorless in the center of the beef. They were very nice about exchanging it for a salad and didn't charge me for the dish. I then had the eggplant appetizer and it was basically very thinly sliced eggplant with a mound of mozarella and some decent tomato sauce. So, it actually tasted fine, but could have been better. In addition, the prices were ridiculous for what you got. If it was homemade pasta, I would understand. But it clearly wasn't. I'll keep looking for that great Italian restaurant that's not a chain, but stick with Maggiano's until I find it...
