    Went on Monthers day they had a preset menu for Mother's day. Eric was our server. He suggested the pomegranate martini, Grand Margarita, and Smoked old Fashon drinks we ordered them all. The martini was fantastic the old fashion was smooth and very tasty the margarita was a margarita. The menu came preset except for the entrees we received meatballs , Zuccini, Calamari to start. Then an other plate with Genoa, parmesan cheese, and a ricotta, and green olives. We chose the fettuccine Alfredo , Fettuccine Bolenase, chicken Parm, and steak tips. the main meal was fantastic. Eric was on the ball and kept checking on us making sure we were good. We ended with the 3 deserts Tiramisu, cheesecake with strawberries and lemon cookies. All were fantastic. the manager (raul?) stopped by to see how everything was I was impressed he was taking dishes out and picking up plates very proactive it was nice to see. it was a good Mothers day dinner

    Recently dined here for their Mother's Day special menu, and Mom's birthday. We were seated promptly for our reservation time on Mother's Day evening. The food served and service by Shirley was terrific. Special starters: charcuterie plate, Bruschetta, Caesar's Salad, crispy Zucchini fritters, Wagyu Meat balls (to die for); mains: filet medallions, Lasagna, Wagyu stuffed shells, and chicken parm. Paired with a bottle of Ruffino Aziano Chianti Classico that was incredibly food friendly across all the various dishes served this evening. Incredible how it appeared that each appetizer and main course portioned for 3 people was served like it was almost prepared individually for each, no fast food methods and an amazing kitchen feat and process. This Maggiano's location has really stepped up its game over the last 1-2 years (if not longer), the food quality and presentation has been much improved we think because of its dedicated staff and managers, and service excelled in so many ways making us, and Mom, feel comfortable. Desserts: Italian style lemon cookies, Tiramisu, and NY Cheese cake with fresh strawberries and strawberry coulis poured at the table. All delicious and presented well. Finished with double espresso and a Montenegro Amaro that sealed a wonderful experience for us. Thanks and kudos to the team at Maggiano's Costa Mesa for a wonderful Mother's Day and birthday experience. Thanks for making it special.

    Always a great experience when me and my family go there. Not only is the food fantastic, but the waiters and waitresses are on top of it. The best service ever and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

    The food was delicious, the service was great. There was a mix up with the appetizer order, but they corrected it as soon as they found out.

    It was such a delight! We asked mom to pick the place and she chose Maggiano's and we couldn't have been happier. The service was excellent beyond what we expected and the food was amazing, which we did expect. I thought the Mother's Day menu was great value and affordable. Looking forward to next year for sure!

    Two for dinner on Saturday. Very busy at this time. We arrived 40 minutes before reservation time, but had to wait until our reservation time to be seated. Servers were great. Very knowledgeable and friendly/helpful. Bread is warm and delicious. Prosecco and wine were good. Had shrimp scampi which was so good. Also had fruitti de mare, which was a generous serving, but overly salty. It is also pretty noisy when many tables are occupied. A nice experience, but a bit lacking.

    2 guests in our party were very disappointed that eggplant parmagan had been taken off the menu. Plus on the shrimp di avalo the shrimp were very overcooked. Everything else was delicious especially the Fetticcini Bolignese

    I'm old school. I made reservations on line then checked in when we got there. They said your table will be ready in 2 minutes. We took a few steps back so others could check in. 10 minutes go by so we ask again, we keep seeing other parties getting seated, they said we were next. 10 more minutes go by and others are being seated. They said we text you, but I'm standing right there in front of you, they can see me. Why couldn't they just call my name instead of text? So impersonal. Other than that our server was great and so was the food...
