Maggiano's Hackensack

We dined at this restaurant for the first time on Valentine's Day for lunch with my husband. Our waiter, Gerald, was wonderfully attentive. We started with the fried zucchini appetizer, which was hot and crispy, and we really enjoyed the dipping sauce. The portion sizes for our meals were generous: I had the braised beef al forno, and my husband ordered the chicken spinach manicotti. For dessert, we shared a warm apple cobbler, which was delightful. Our total bill, which included drinks, the appetizer, two entrees, and a complimentary classic meal to take home, was a very reasonable $100. We will definitely be returning!

I was very disappointed with my steak. It was mostly fat and cooked poorly, especially for a $35 dish. I frequently found myself feeling unwell afterwards. I definitely do not recommend ordering it again.

The food is lacking, but more importantly, the service seems to worsen every time we visit.

Went for my husbands birthday. Food and service were great!

Great server. We had him last time too. Please recognize him.
