I can't fathom what folks that rate this place highly are thinking. Given the fantastic array of great neighborhood Italian options, why would you go to McItaly unless your tastebuds are on a siesta? To be more specific, the whole Maggiano's equation is off in my opinion. They attempt to overcome the quality issue with shear quantity - pounds and pounds of pasta smothered in bland sauces that could have come from a can. Couple this with long waits and chain store, suburban trendy decor, swirl and voila - you have a poor dining experience! The one positive thing that I can say is that the wait staff are uniformly excellent and highly attentive.\r
