My friend wanted to impress me I told him I wanted some pasta so he went to Maggiano's and bought me a wonderful dish (unknown name) it was so delicious the office was scented with little Italy every one would walk around and said, what is that.

Patrons rave about this classic in the Galleria area. Huge portions of homemade pastas are created using authentic Italian recipes that you'll swear are "just like Mama used to make." There's plenty for sharing, you'll probably take half of it home with you. Fresh, crisp salads are meals themselves, but have one with a house specialty like lasagna with meat sauce, or spinach and chicken manicotti. The shrimp oreganta and linguine with clam sauce are also popular.

In a city with so many Italian restuarants (epsecially of the old-school "red sauce" variety), it's easy for one place to be undistinguishable from another. Maggiano's manages to stand out, due in no small part to: <br> 1) A great location (just north of the Galleria) <br> 2) Good food with generous portions (entrees come in half-orders or full-orders) at prices that are quite reasonable <br> 3) A helpful, friendly waitstaff <br> 4) a lively but not-too-loud atmosphere, and <br> 5) a "piano guy" at the bar less
