To celebrate a productive year, the team decided to hold a work Christmas dinner at Maggiano's in Costa Mesa. It was my first time dining in this restaurant. People from all walks of life come here to dine on fine Italian food.
The staff is very friendly and attentive. Because we had a large group, our meals were served Family style (large portions). If you can tell by the company photos, we got our grub on. Each meal; even the bread was carefully prepared and delicious. There is a well stocked bar if you want to have a good stiff drink, a beer or a glass of your favorite wine.
This is a great restaurant if you are celebrating a special occasion, wanting an upscaled Italian experience or simply looking to change up the flow. You definitely won't be disappointed.
We made the reservation to celebrate our 16 wedding anniversary and go and see The Book of Mormon Broadway show. The host greeted us and acknowledge our anniversary and escort us to our beautiful booth table. One of the managers came in and congratulate us, and provide two glasses of champagne to celebrate our anniversary. We felt very cared and loved by the staff. Our server, Ernesto,, was extremely nice, friendly and smiling all the time. The food was fantastic and we really enjoyed our time at Maggiano’s Little Italy at Costa Mesa. We came all the way from Playa Vista, Los Angeles since your restaurant at the Grove was unfortunately closed last year, . We love Maggiano’s and we hope you can open another one in Los Angeles area. Oh, and please bring back the garlic cheese bread that take 15 minutes to bake and the veal :-)
If you like great Italian food and wonderful staff, this is the place for you. Went here for lunch and got appetizers, entrees and dessert. Our fantastic server was Veronica, she went above and beyond, not just with the serving, but also hospitality. She did a great job of making us feel welcome, it was my first time there and she made it very special. If your going here make sure to ask for Veronica! She was the best part!
I went here for the first time with my wife and it was nice. Though I expected a little bit more. The ambience/atmosphere is really good and feels comfy but also fancy/nice. The servers may have been a bit busy though, since it tgey were gone for quite a while and it took some time to get my water refilled.
The food was also good, but not great. My wife really liked her Chicken Francese (no real complaints) and my lasagna was alright, but the sauce was thinner than expected and it felt... lacking.
The worst part was the temporary menu's Make-a-Wish cake. The canole didn't really take like anything and didn't have much crunch to it (a bit soft). The cake was also not as rich as I expected, which a hint of something like lemon in the cream. But overall the main problem was just how bland it was.
But I still liked it enough to want to go back for another try in the future. I want to try different dishes and a dessert from the normal menu too.

We had an amazing time during our recent dinner at Maggiano's Little Italy in Costa Mesa. The restaurant is spacious and has a warm, inviting atmosphere. We were seated immediately upon our arrival, and our server was attentive and friendly throughout our meal.
We started our meal with the Zuccini Frittas, which were lightly fried and perfectly seasoned. They were the perfect appetizer to share. For our main course, we had the Chicken Parmigiana and the Spaghetti Carbonara. The Chicken Parmigiana was tender and juicy, and the Spaghetti Carbonara was rich and creamy. We loved both dishes!
No meal at Maggiano's is complete without trying their famous bruchetta. The bruchetta is made with fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic, and olive oil, and it is served on toasted slices of Italian bread. It is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for sharing.
To top off our meal, we had a few of their signature cocktails. The Jameson & Gingerale is a classic cocktail that is always refreshing.
Overall, we had an amazing experience at Maggiano's Little Italy in Costa Mesa. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was inviting. We will definitely be back soon!
Amazing service and amazing food!!! It was the perfect environment for our Friendsgiving and the staff made us feel so special
Bread was warm, salads fresh. The pomegranate martini was absolutely delicious. All apps and appetizers were fresh, hot and we wanted more.
This is a very cozy and friendly place to go with your friends and families to celebrate special occasions or just to hang out. there are many sitting locations for you to choose from late at the bar where you can watch sports and drink some champagne or alcoholic beverages, to a booth. It is a great place to throw a party for your work or anything ( just call ahead and make a reservation)

I wasn't able to take much photos during my visit, but I enjoyed dining here at Maggiano's.
The venue feels great for any type of group event, whether it's a date to a meeting with friends to an entire reunion with family and relatives, the place feels like it has plenty of seating and parking and a fitting atmosphere for the great Italian dishes you'll get from here.
Food is superb! Our group was able to order various pasta and mains and appetizers and we enjoyed them all. I personally enjoyed the Rigatoni D with it's tasty white sauce keeping the chicken and pasta warm, and I really liked the mushroom appetizer and the tiramisu dessert.
Service was perfect as we dined. We got our dishes very quickly, and any requests were handled properly. Nothing further to comment, it's good service without issues.
Next time I'll dine here, I'll definitely get another serving of that tiramisu and mushrooms, and any pasta really works fine.
Celebrated my dad’s birthday here and had an INCREDIBLE experience. Our waiter was Michael and is possibly the best waiter I’ve ever had. All the staff we talked to were super nice and welcoming. Excellent service and absolutely delicious food! My entire family enjoyed each and every dish we ate.
I specifically ordered the chicken piccata and it was very flavorful and well made. Additionally, we had calamari as our appetizer and it was deliciously crispy on the outside, had a pleasant texture, and very good flavor.
My family and I plan to return for future celebrations.
