Maggiano's Little Italy

Dinner. Free bread basket: one kind of bread was fluffy and had burnt onion strings on top, it was OK, the other kind of bread was skinny and crisp and had (cold) melted cheese on top, it was terrible. Shrimp arrabiatta was very good, and entirely too much food, even for the "half" portion. Four-cheese ravioli was just OK, not as good as it has been before.

Why is this place so crowded all the time? The food is good, but not spectacular. We were sitting under a draft and were freezing cold the whole time.

We arrived a few minutes early for our 6:00 reservation and ended up waiting until well after 6:00. :-(
