Maggiano's Little Italy

October 24, 2025

While staying in the area for work, we stopped in here for dinner on a Monday night and they were packed! It was because a huge conference was in town at the time. We made reservations and were promptly seated when we came in, but our service was so very delayed. Our server was great though, very helpful and engaging, but his service was sparce due to all the tables he was having to manage. One example – It took us 15 minutes to get the pitcher of sangria we ordered. This is way too long for our first drinks. The food was decent. I did have some gristle in my chicken parm and it was in an odd place, in the middle of the meat, not the side. But the sauce and food tasted great otherwise. We also tried their Rigatoni alla Vodka was outstanding! The flavors of the sauce were incredible (and we just got back from Italy a couple of weeks ago!)!! Save room for dessert – We tried their Warm Apple Crostada and that was FABULOUS!!! Out server was great… we told him we were surprised about the poor service (due to wait) and he agreed and told us it’s not usually like this. We said there was a huge conference in town and it seemed like management didn’t properly prepare for that and he pretty much agreed with us. So, it seems the issues we dealt with were due to poor forecasting and scheduling on the part of management. Overall – I’d most definitely return, the food was good.

Food is pretty good they have changed up the menu since I was last here. Pretty pricy for what you get. I ordered the Fettuccine alfredo with chicken. It tasted like they added a lemon zest to the sauce. A number of the recipes tasted like lemon zest was added to it. The seating is way over crowded. They could remove several tables and open it up a little more. You are almost touching chairs with the people on the next table.

The chicken parm here was absolutely incredible — easily the best I’ve had in Denver. The sauce and pasta were perfect, and the wine paired great with the meal. The staff was super friendly and made the whole experience even better. Totally worth it. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The atmosphere was very relaxing and upscale. We didn’t have a reservation and were able to walk in and get a booth. The dining room was darker but each table had an adjustable table light so you could set your own brightness. I ordered the Lobster Carbonara. The presentation was very nice, the taste was amazing. The cook on the lobster was perfect. There was plenty of lobster meat. The serving size was more than I could eat. My wife ordered the Chicken Picotta. She said the chicken was delicious. And the spinach was outstanding. Once again, the serving size was more than she could eat. That being said, who doesn’t love leftovers of amazing food. My daughter whose idea it was to get Italian because she wanted Spaghetti. She got just the spaghetti with marinara. She said it was the best she had ever had. Which to me is saying something. She normally doesn’t like much sauce. But she devoured the whole bowl. I highly recommend this place.

My friends and I chose this place to celebrate my birthday. I only wrote it in the note during my reservation that it is a birthday dinner. They exceeded our expectations. From the time we entered to the time we left, everything was great. Everyone was very warm and friendly. They complimented the dress I was wearing. They gave me a birthday card which was so kind. I do not remember the last time I had a birthday card and this was my first birthday dinner. We had free desserts as a birthday treat. The food we ordered were so nice, drinks were amazing and colorful and the desserts were out of this world! I ate to the max and took very nice pictures. They even turned on their outside decorative for us to take final pictures before leaving. Sarah was our server and she was extremely nice. Thank you for your service, Sarah! Thank you to all the staff and managers here for an amazing experience. I can go on and on but I will end here and hold this memory in my heart.
