Being italian AND from a major Italian city (Chicago), I still fail to see the real greatness of Maggiano's food. It's family style, the portions are big, and the vibe is always good but back home, it's just a big scene - not the best Italian food around. Worth the trip but not for the food so much than for the atmospehere.
Pros: big portiions, decent food, nice environment
Cons: expensive, over hyped
