Maggiano's Little Italy - San Antonio

This restaurant is a delightful place to visit for anyone. The atmosphere is very Italian and transports you to Italy, but in Texas. There is great music playing and the aroma of delicious pasta and sauces fills the restaurant. It is a special place to have a special meal or celebrate a family event. Our server Shannon was outstanding - very friendly, attentive, and quick! We had our wedding dinner reception here and plan to make it a tradition every year. For our meal, we had the calamari appetizer, chicken parmigiana, chicken francese, and chocolate cake for dessert.

The dining experience at this restaurant is amazing and the service is top-notch. We were warmly welcomed by the hostess and promptly seated. Our server was attentive and brought out fresh bread shortly after we were seated. The food was outstanding - fresh and hot. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and highly recommend it to others. Hopefully, they have an equally wonderful experience like we did.

The service was excellent. We made a reservation through OpenTable for dinner and were seated immediately. Our server promptly brought our drinks. The appetizers arrived quickly, and we enjoyed the calamari. We ordered lasagna and chicken parmesan, both of which were delicious. We also had an Old Fashioned cocktail which, although small in portion size, was well-made and tasty.

We really wanted to like this place, he had good reviews and looked very pretty, but it was disappointing. the waitress was nice and personal, but she would ask if we needed something and then never return with the things we demanded. our kalamari came out and it was cold. it was probably sitting for a past to be delivered. we sent it back to ask for warm calamari. less than five minutes after we sent the calamari away, the entrées came out what was bad timing, because if they order an appetizer they should be given some time to enjoy it before the entrées come. we didn't even have time to taste it and give it back before the food was there. when the escapes came out, they were warm, but the sausage in the baked ziti was burned around the edges. we didn't send it back because we somehow exaggerated it by then. then the kalamari came out when we started our escapes so that they won't get cold. the calamari was now warm and it was okay, although it could actually have used some seasons. we added lemon, salt and parmesan and it was better. the lasagne was ok, nothing great, but not bad. the brot was good, but the oil and the spice needs salt and if they add some of the parmesan on the table, it is even better. the apple dessert was ok, the baked was teig and underdone in the middle and they covered it with ice to mask it, but it was okay. I had no sugar in the month, so I ate everything. overall disappointed, but glad that we have just entered and did not come for a special event.

Food was good, but the creme bruleé had so much of the alcohol that they use to set it on fire, that it tasted like lighter fluid. Looked great, but tasted terrible. That was my sister's first attempt at it and it ruined it for her. She won't try it again. Don't lift the table covers unless you want to see tables look like crumbling, card tables. I was expecting something much better to be honest. Was pretty disappointed in that aspect
