Maggiano's Little Italy Menu Prices 2026: Full List, Classics & Deals

The Classic Pasta deal (also called "Buy One, Take One") lets you order any Classic Pasta entrée from the designated list at the regular menu price and receive a second Classic Pasta to take home for free. The take-home pasta is packaged separately in a sealed container, ready to reheat. The deal applies to items like Rigatoni D, Fettuccine Alfredo, Mom's Lasagna, Four Cheese Ravioli and other Classic Pasta selections. The take-home portion is typically the same size as a full dine-in order. Available at dinner service; confirm with your location as availability can vary.

Maggiano's most consistently popular dishes based on long-standing menu reports and guest feedback are: Rigatoni D ($24) — rigatoni with Italian sausage, mushrooms and a creamy tomato sauce; Chicken Parmesan ($30) — the full-breast, hand-breaded signature entrée; Mom's Lasagna ($26) — house-made layers of beef, pork, ricotta and mozzarella; Fettuccine Alfredo ($22) — the classic cream-and-Parmesan pasta; and Shrimp De Jonghe ($32) — the Chicago heritage dish. Among desserts, Tiramisu ($10) leads by a significant margin.

Maggiano's offers a gluten-free pasta substitute that can be swapped into most pasta dishes for a small upcharge. Beyond pasta swaps, several entrées are naturally lower-gluten when prepared without pasta — grilled fish, the veal and chicken piccata and marsala dishes can often be ordered without pasta accompaniment. Maggiano's does not operate a certified gluten-free kitchen, and cross-contact is possible in a full-service Italian restaurant kitchen. Guests with celiac disease or serious gluten allergies should speak directly with a manager before ordering. Confirm current GF offerings with your specific location, as they vary.

Maggiano's dress code is smart-casual to business-casual — the chain describes its atmosphere as “upscale casual.” There is no formal dress requirement, but the warm, well-appointed dining rooms and higher price point mean most guests dress in nice jeans, slacks, dresses or blouses rather than athletic wear or beachwear. For private dining events and banquets, some hosts specify a dress code separately. The atmosphere is relaxed enough for a family dinner but polished enough for a business meal or anniversary.

Yes — family-style dining is one of Maggiano's signature experiences. In the family-style format, large shared platters of appetizers, salads, pastas and entrées are placed in the center of the table for the group to serve themselves — closely mirroring the Italian tradition of dining. Family-style menus are typically set-price per person ($35–$65+ depending on the tier and number of courses), and are often available for groups of 6 or more or for private dining rooms. The family-style format makes Maggiano's a popular choice for holiday gatherings, rehearsal dinners and corporate group meals. Confirm family-style availability and pricing with your specific location.

Yes — private dining and event rooms are a major part of Maggiano's business. Most Maggiano's locations offer multiple private and semi-private dining rooms ranging from intimate spaces for 10–15 guests to larger rooms that can accommodate 50–200+ guests. Options include plated dinners, family-style service, cocktail receptions and buffets. Private rooms are commonly booked for rehearsal dinners, birthday celebrations, corporate events, holiday parties and wedding receptions. Pricing is typically set through a customized quote — contact the private dining coordinator at your chosen location via maggianos.com for availability, minimums and custom menus.
