My Grandpa was in town during finals week, so between studying business law and accounting I got the chance to relax with my family and have a great meal down at Maggiano's in Bellevue, WA. For those of you who have never been to Maggiano's, it's a family style restaurant where the portions are meant to be shared between a couple people, so it really is the more the merrier.

We enjoyed a four course meal--four full courses--each of which were cooked and served pretty elegantly. Being near the end of the quarter, I had been eating whatever was left in my apartment, not wanting go shopping before break, and so I was simply shocked by the amount of food there was to eat; I was full for the rest of the day, and even a little the next morning.

The restaurant itself is located in an a pretty classy area, the Bellevue area is full of sky rises of steel and glass, and the interior is decorated elegantly in a professional manner. If you get the chance, come get away for a couple hours at Maggiano's; Little Italy.
