Maggiano's Little Italy is a classic italian restaurant located in downtown Bellevue. This restaurant is huge with italian romantic decor, candlelight dinner tables, and a big menu of entrees to choose from. If you've never eaten here before, their plates are massive, so I suggest sharing a meal, or getting a few items if you're with family or friends to try each others plates. Their brushetta is a good starter, with a glass of their house wine. They have soups, salads, pastas, seafood and so many options it's hard for me to decide what to eat. I love their spaghetti, eggplant parmesan, or one of my favorites chicken marsala. You can't go wrong when ordering a meal here, for lunch or dinner, you will have a great dining experience.
With family style servings, you can do a family style lunch, or family style dinner so you can get a taste of everything. This is a nice restaurant, so prices are going to be more expensive to let's say Joey's. But the amount you receive from the price is well worth it. I would have leftovers for days! There is always something new I want to try, and is my version of Italy in Bellevue. If possible, try and save room for dessert.. like their NYC style cheesecake or traditional creme brulee. Why not make a date of it, then go to Lincoln Square Cinemas for a movie. Sound like a perfect date or what?
