Anybody ever been to Maggiano's in Philly by the Marriott & Reading Terminal Market? Friend of mine suggested it, but couldn't give me any specifics.

Do you mean Maggiano's the chain? I've eaten at one in Milwaukee and one in Scottsdale AZ. The food was identical- decent, nothing special.

It does have a "chain look" about it. So, yes, I guess so. I have the take-out menu, and it looks 'formula.' Nothing special, huh?

I ate at the one in King of Prussia, it was good for a chain.

Jim, I'd say it's far better than Olive Garden and has better-than-average food among chains I've tried. I'm sure I'll eat there again but I prefer to eat in independent restaurants.
