About The Company
Even with excellent people, you cannot build the best restaurant company overnight. We've chosen to follow a sensible, well-managed and well-paced growth plan that will allow us to have a strong, long-term presence in every major U.S. metropolitan market from coast to coast. Maggiano's Little Italy® truly is a very special group of restaurants. Technically, we're a "chain,"​ but in principle, we're more like an extended family. Each restaurant is similar in menu and philosophy but is built to reflect the history of its host city. Inside, high-energy, full-service dining rooms reminiscent of pre-war Little Italy, elegant banquet facilities and customer-friendly carryout leave no doubt you're visiting an authentic Maggiano's restaurant. When we talk about our culture, we talk about our people and our food in equal doses with a healthy addition of passion. It's a recipe that has yielded great results. We've become a place where people find a permanent home. From entry-level employees to the most senior of our staff, our people call Maggiano's "family."​ This may explain why we have one of the lowest turnover rates in the industry. Our passion for people, food and service unites us all. Our common goal is to build Maggiano's into the best Southern Italian Restaurant Company. Not the biggest, just the best. How will we do it? By providing the tools our people need to be successful and, more importantly, by providing personalized time and support to each individual.
