We ate here on Christmas Eve with my Mom. We made reservations the night before because, well, you never know. Our reservations had us sitting on the patio, which was fine. Almost 80 degrees on Christmas Eve isn't unheard of. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas and very busy. Well, I'll just get right down to it. I don't typically like to give a negative review on Christmas Eve, because I know restaurants can be short staffed and busy. But it genuinely felt like our time wasn't valued. I've been a server (and for many years) so I understand people and learned it pretty quick from day 1. Our server, Jacob was ok, but it was obvious he was trying too hard. Every time he said he was going to do something, it took f.o.r.e.v.e.r. We ordered dessert and sat there for over 15 minutes still waiting for dessert. By the time it came, we were so frustrated at how we had been forgotten once we got our meal that we just wanted the check. They did offer us the dessert for free, but that wasn't the point. We ordered the zucchini fritta and waygu meatballs. Both were great! The bathroom...there are 2 stalls in the ladies bathroom. 2. Two. The line was long and by the time I got back to the table, our food had been delivered and mine was cool. My other half ordered the shrimp scampi and said his shrimp was tough and he had no idea it would come with so much pasta. Even though my food was cold, it tasted good. But there was WAY too much pasta and not enough chicken or mushrooms. Eating here was a pretty big and sad disappointment. Especially for our 2 hour drive. If you're looking for snacks and drinks, this is a place to go. If you're looking for great Italian food with great service, go to Angelo's. I won't be eating dinner here again. I might go for drinks if I can pinpoint another bathroom somewhere. read more

This place is still really good for a chain. It's clean. The soundtrack is a blast from the past. The employees are friendly. And the food still tastes like it was made by loving hands. During my latest visit, however, I learned that they they took eggplant parmesan off the menu. Why? read more

I haven't been to Maggiano's in probabaly a decade and I can definitely say that the prices have gone up. Which might also become a reason as to why I might not frequent it as much. This is located on the green space of baybrook mall. There is shared parking and you can park fairly close to the restaurant in a non-busy day. Bathroom and establishment is clean! Our server was awesome! He was friendly, attentive, answered all our questions, and had a great sense of humor. I wish I remembered his name but if you read this and remember serving a table of 10 with majority of his wearing orange shirts on a Friday at lunch time then this shoutout is for you!!! I had the branzino crab premium!?!? Special!?!? I can't remember the exact title but the server said it is one of their top ordered items. It was amazing and worth the money. The fish was cooked well and placed over mashed potatoes. The lobster cream sauce was heaven and you best believe I took the free bread they place on your table and dipped it in my sauce. It's a must! The side of asparagus xomplimented the dish well. Overall a 10/10 on the food and serve. There is a to go section so you can order ahead and pick up. There are also mints on the way out if you need a little freshing up. read more

On May 3,2026, I visited Maggiano's at Baybrook with 3 adults and an infant. We requested patio seating since the weather was nice that day. Our server was new to the restaurant, but he did a good job. We've dined at this restaurant several times before and have never encountered any issues. We ordered our food without any problems, it included dessert. When we asked for the check, we also requested to take our dessert to go. The manager then approached us and said, "I apologize for our new server; he wasn't aware that he needed to redo the ticket. Could l get your email to send you a gift card for your dessert?" I feel I have given them more than enough time to resolve this matter. read more

The servers were super nice and quick! The food was really good, I had the spaghetti and it was fantastic! There's a lot of seating in the restaurant and it's really great for families. I highly recommend visiting here! read more

This restaurant is one of my favorites. I love the Italian food they offer, and I've visited two different locations, always having a great experience. This time, I went with my family during the holidays. Although the wait was quite long (about an hour and a half), the staff was very friendly. Our waiter, Aldo, did an outstanding job, he was courteous, made us feel very comfortable, and took the time to explain each dish to my family, who were visiting for the first time. The food, as always, was delicious. The freshly baked, crunchy bread was a perfect touch. The atmosphere is cozy, with soft lighting and an elegant vibe that makes it ideal for special occasions. In the end, whether it was because of the long wait or Aldo's incredible service, the tiramisu we decided to order at the last minute was on the house. What a perfect way to end a wonderful dinner! I'll definitely keep coming back. read more

This is a large airy restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. We came in on a Saturday afternoon and the place was not busy. I had a smoked old fashioned (first time ever) and it was amazing. Our server Luis was professional and friendly and his recommendations were spot on. For dinner, I had the wagyu stuffed shells and hubby had the lobster carbonara. Both were delicious although hubby and I agreed that we would come back for the shells. So good. And yes we will be back. read more

Dissatisfied with today's service. I wasn't aware or had any kind of communication of a mother's day special. We weren't willing to pay $48 per person. Also the floors were very slippery. read more

My family likes to come here or we did in the past because we loved the to go meal deal they had and the food always tasted fresh and the drinks were delicious. Not quite sure why they have changed their ingredients and the way some things are prepared, but it is just not the same. And doing away with the to go meal deal they had was the worst decision. We likely will be choosing another place to go to from now on. The drinks that we ordered were inconsistent. The first round we got were the pomegranate martinis and they were awesome. Then we had the grand margarita which was absolutely disgusting so we switched back to the pomegranate martinis for our third round and they were not made the same and were sickly sweet and just not good. The food was just OK, but they've cut back on their portions and it just isn't made as good as it used to be honestly . Our server was amazing though, and she was very sweet and helpful read more

Should actually be 1/2 star. At least the music was good. The food was as tasteless as a high school cafeteria's. The price of everything was outrageously high. I.e chicken marsala $26.00, fettuccini Alfredo $24.00, Coke $4.95!!! The Alfredo was overloaded with basil and tasted soapy. The Marsala was not Marsala. Instead it tasted like some cheap watered down Boone's Farm. The Caesar dressing was Newman's own. The total bill for two was over $100. What a wasted birthday lunch. We had not visited them for a while, won't be going back. Sad too as it was one of our favorite Italian spots. . read more

Not a bad review but nothing to brag about, the staff helpful and friendly, good size portions, price average, pretty packed in a Sunday evening. Honestly forgot what we had since it was 6 of Us and we all share the dishes. Also had pictures but were really fuzzy so if there is a next time I'll make sure to edit my review. read more

The food was delicious! Flavored and seasoned perfectly! They have the best Italian sangria! They had the most amazing staff, especially Ethan who went over and above to make sure we were comfortable on the patio, brought us a heater tower, made sure our drinks stayed full and even took pictures for us! read more

I recently came here for a friend's birthday dinner, and Maggiano's didn't disappoint! From the free bread to the large portion sizes, everyone loved their meal. My typical go-to is the Shrimp Diavolo, which I highly recommend, but this time, I ordered the Blackened Salmon and was pleasantly surprised! I also got a frozen peach bellini on the side, and it was so delicious and larger than expected! My favorite thing about Maggiano's was probably the $6 take-home entree with the order of any entree. Staying true to their portions and receiving a full meal for only another $6 was a steal! Keep in mind that the full menu is not available for this special. read more

Great service and great food! Will return for another date night or even lunch! Parking can be hard during dinner or lunch hours read more

We had a wonderful time eating lunch.. We shared the lasagna and the taste was amazing... They brought back the original recipe which is my favorite. Happy they did, I didn't like the new recipe, so glad they decided not too keep it..PLEASE KEEP THE ORIGINAL RECIPE FOR THE LASAGNA.... THANK YOU The server was very welcoming and attentive to our needs..we will definitely come back to this location and hopefully we will get Luis again..The manager was Carlos and he was very friendly and check on us twice.. very nice experience for lunch date, can't wait to go back for dinner.. read more

My wife and I had the Lasagna and it was fantastic! We had the Lasagna a few months ago and it was not good. From what I understand the original Lasagna , what we had today, just got back on the menu. Keep it. We will be back to this Maggianos soon! Our waiter, Luis, was amazing! Manager Carlos introduced himself and made us feel very welcome and even shared tips for our trip to Italy. read more

I ordered my food to go, but I had the Spaghetti and Giant meatball and balsamic tomato bruschetta. The food was packaged well, and the food was very good. I have had the spaghetti from here before, but this was the first time I've had the balsamic tomato bruschetta. The bruschetta was very good. The balsamic and tomato were very refreshing and light. It was a great compliment to the spaghetti. I paired both dishes with a red wine. read more

First, our server Stephanie was very friendly and attentive (5 stars)! Fettuccine Bolognese and Eggplant Parmesan were both delicious and generous - had some to take to go. Started with Caesar salad, also delicious and a very generous portion. Those dishes 4 star. One thing that changed, which was so disappointing and made our usual experience less than perfect, was the bread service. 1 star only because there was some kind of bread. The new rolls blew me away with Golden Corral vibes, and did NOT set a tone for a great Italian meal. We expect more than common buffet rolls; please bring back the former bread and olive oil! (GC rolls are great at GC, just not here.) read more

We've been going for years but I don't think we will return. The frequent changes are annoying when you go in expecting one thing and something changes every time. First it was they didn't keep the oil or sweeteners on the table and we had to sit and wait for those, then they changed the fettuccine and I liked it better before, now they changed the bread to something you'd expect at a steak house not an Italian restaurant. It's good, but I preferred the old bread and oil dip. On top of that their prices increased and, despite being mostly empty, our service wasn't good. read more

Love Maggiano's, I'm so glad that all locations I've been to are all still great. I went this day to use the free meal Birthday coupon I received. When I got there I pulled up the coupon from my email and noticed the coupon expired the day before. I spoke with our waiter and he quickly said what's your name I told him and he said "Ms. Frankie it's your birthday month and we're going to celebrate you can still use the coupon." I was happy and thanked him several times. I ordered eggplant parmesan that came with a side of noodles and as usual it was delicious, a tasteful flavor and nicely cooked. My friend ordered chicken parmesan with a side of spaghetti. Once we finished eating our entree our waiter brought a plate of lemon cookies with a candle in a strawberry and you'd me happy Birthday. Thank Maggiano's for keeping their food so great and having very kind staff. read more

Have not been to this location before. The This past Saturday we visited for a table of 9. Service was very good. The restaurant is decorated like the other Maggioni's, but not the same feel as the Galleria area one. Food: I have the Crab Cakes for my entree and eat part of one. The sauce the were sitting on was not complementary to the Crab Cakes which were loaded with crabmeat. Hubs had the Salmon with Lemon Butter Sauce, small for the price. He said his Entree was delicious. I forgot we started with the Fried Zucchini and Aiolo Sauce. They are so delicious, but they fry them large is now. I prefer the "old" way, smaller cut and finger food style. We overall we all had a nice time. read more

This was my fourth visit to Maggianos for their fixed service Thanksgiving dinner. Our server was excellent. We ordered a pitcher of sangria, which we enjoyed. I was disappointed that they no longer serve a pre-dinner appetizer. The sweet rolls were very good. Very tasty salads. The turkey and ham weren't special. We should have been served extra gravy for our garlic whipped potatoes. They were very dry. The ziti dish was dry and separated, not saucy enough. The sausage stuffing was just ok. I didn't find any wow factor worth $220 for a dinner for four. read more

The bread change is terrible. Not even Italian bread . No dipping sauce . More like Texas Roadhouse style. They keep changing the menu and the great happy hour menu can only be used on the bar which is different . Not our favorite anymore read more

We were so disappointed in the food quality overall. The calamari was very good but from there it was downhill. The chicken piccata was horrible. The sauce was good but the chicken was more like a TV dinner experience. Horrible. Rubbery. Gross. Definitely will never go here again. Service was friendly but very slow. Ambiance was ok if you like a large loud dining room atmosphere. Not a fan. Very expensive for the quality. read more

Drumroll please................and the choice of dinner today was here, after a little shopping. I was impressed with the server, who was nothing short of all over it. The gentlemen ensured my meal was vegan in preparation. Thank you! Raspberry tea glass was on full. Olive Oil and bread was on full ( I honestly could eaten this and been satisfied) Spaghetti was steaming hot upon delivery, again Thank you! I had plenty to take home for another meal. So, until the next time, Bye-Bye! read more

I wish I would've gotten our servers name so I could compliment her here because she was fantastic! We came in on a Tuesday evening with my boyfriend's cousin and her husband. On the way in, we noticed a sign outside that said "Tuesday is Guy's Night" and made sure to ask our server about what specials this weekly event had. At first, she let us know that "Guys Night" was only allowed in the bar area until 7pm. We were a little bummed, but we accepted the facts and continued looking over the menu. She then came back a few minutes later to tell us that she spoke to her manager and they would allow us (this one time) to enjoy $5 whiskey drinks and 1/2 off a selection of appetizers for Guy's Night! Woohoo! We super appreciated her going out of her way to get these specials extended for us. We enjoyed the Tomato Bruschetta and Cheesy Bread (I think that's what it's called? Lol) for appetizers. The bread was AMAZING! It was super soft and gooey on the inside in a delicious way that I'd never experienced before. My boyfriend and I shared the mushroom ravioli as we are vegetarian and it was fantastic!! The sauce was creamy, cheesy and flavorful. More often than not, we've found that white pasta sauces lack flavor, so we were pleasantly surprised by the flavorful taste of the sauce that covered our raviolis. Thanks for a great evening filled with exquisitely delicious carbs! read more

What has happened to this wonderful establishment? Used to love coming here. Food was always great! Haven't been here in 6-8 months. Menu has changed. Prices have seemingly doubled. And no more take home meals!!! Don't even add the herbs and spices to the olive oil for bread dipping anymore. My wife ordered the mushroom ravioli in Marsala sauce for $27 and said it was one of the worst meals she has ever ordered. The piece of chicken on my fettuccine Alfredo was half the size of my friend's chicken parm. And the wine prices are outrageous. Very disappointed. $156 after tip for two (staff as always was wonderful!). No plan on returning. Sad. read more

I decided to go to the Bay Brook mall for shopping and lunch out. As a newbie to the area, this is one area I haven't explored. I discovered there are TONS of restaurants here, but when I spotted Magliano's, I decided to go Italian. The patio looked so inviting! My server was Mari. She was ok. I didn't feel like I got excellent service, but it was not bad service. Maybe she was busy inside. It wasn't crowded outside, but she didn't check on me as much as I would have liked. I ordered the Shrimp Scampi and a $6 take-home of lasagna. As a single person, I figured I would get three meals out of this (I actually got 4!). I ate on the patio as it was the perfect day for it. The view was nice, the birds were chirping, there was a nice breeze, and the 40's music was pleasant. If you were inclined, I suppose you could dance on the courtyard to Fred Astaire singing "Dancing Cheek to Cheek!" The meal came with soft, crunchy Italian bread with dipping oil made at your table. It was very good! The Scampi was absolutely delicious! It was creamy, tangy, buttery, lemony, just right! The shrimp was cooked to perfection. Definitely a hit! I took home half of the Scampi and the $6 lasagna. I ate half of the lasagna for dinner. It was very rich - lots of cheese, nice flavor, and easy to heat. A bargain at $6! I will definitely go back! read more

We visit Maggiano's from time to time, most often to pick up food to go. There is plenty of parking within a short walk and a curb where you can allow others to stop. The restaurant has great ambiance. Most recently, we dined in for a friends birthday. It was great to walk in on a Friday night without a reservation and be accomodated quickly for a party of 6. The host was very welcoming and kind. The service we received was excellent. Our waitress went above and beyond to make sure that the birthday girl had the best night. We enjoyed: - Bombalina (sampler of multiple appetizers) - spaghetti with marinara sauce - CHEF KB'S LOBSTER CARBONARA - linguine and clams - chicken Francese - Vera's lemon cookies We will continue to enjoy this location. They are quite dependable and consistent in their great flavors. read more

Great food and service always my go to place for a great dinner, zucchini planks are amazing

This is a good Italian food restaurant in the Houston area. I didn't see anything on the menu stating that they make pasta in-house, so I doubt they do. Only a few restaurants in Houston do and they're usually vague about which ones are made in-house. Anyway, the fried zucchini is probably the best appetizer on the menu. I've had fried zucchini before at other restaurants and this one does it best. They also offer complimentary bread with olive oil and spices. The portions are Texas-sized and can probably be split depending on what you order. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the service was good. I would give it 5 stars if the pasta was made in-house and the price was the same l. read more
