5 /5 Abroad Travel: Maggianos - Buckhead (Atlanta)
Little Italy - From beginning to end your experience is one of belonging to Italian Family dinner table.
Let me start this story from the beginning. As you pull up to the building, you have an option to Valet or self-park in the garage. (Validated Parking Available) If this is your first time coming, this location offers several businesses, “Corner Bakery,” and “Maggiano’s Little Italy.”
When you walk in, you discover a grand staircase and a friendly staff to assist you, to the right. As you proceed to your table, if you look immediately to the left, past the entrance, you’ll see a beautiful bar to get a drink.
As we were seated a server attendant to us promptly. We order our drinks and house bread to start. Once the bread basket arrived, we noticed it was not the same bread that Maggiano’s normally served. Turns out, they changed to something different and supposedly healthier option. As we cut the bread in half and spread that flaky and creamy butter on the inside, it had a good texture and flavor to it. We personally loved the old bread more than new one. New was doable.
Now, for the main course. We ordered signature famous, “Maggiano’s Lasagna” and “Eggplant Parmesan with Spaghetti.”
OMG!!! We should have just ordered one menu item. We mentioned to the waiter that Lasagna will be shared for two. The level of attentiveness and quality was unmatched during main course. When they brought our food, Lasagna was placed on two separate plates and smothered with delicious red sauce. So much cheese!
The Eggplant Parmesan plate had four large pieces with more cheese and spaghetti. With every bite, you were tasting authentic Italian cuisine. No compromise.
It was so beyond generous portions that we took leftovers to last for few more meals. The carry-out bag was thoughtfully created. You almost feel guilty throwing it away.
Italian table full of delicious cuisine is meant to gather around, enjoy great company, relax and eat delicious foods. We felt that and certainly recommend this place to you.
