When I think of Maggianos, two italian phrases come to mind: ""molto molto"" and ""piu economico."" Translated, you get lots of food, for very few dollars. One of the previous posts inferred that this place is expensive, but its not. It happens to be one of the best deals in Houston. Great quality food, excellent service and portions so big that three can share a plate. The linquini chicken pesto w/ pinenuts is incredible! I felt like I was back on the Italian Riviera. Family style is the way to go . . I only hope that other resteraunts catch on. Buon appetito!
Pros: large portions, cozy atmosphere, best value in town
Cons: often crowded, commercial location, a tad dark
