MAGGIANO'S LITTLE ITALY JACKSONVILLE REVIEWS

Great food! I ordered an espresso martini and vodka pasta with chicken. I love the complimentary bread. The espresso martini wasn’t as creamy and more heavy on the espresso side. Definitely stronger than how most restaurants make but it was very delicious! The vodka pasta was fantastic. It had the perfect amount of sauce. The chicken I decided to add was decent. I sat at the bar and the bartender was very attentive.

Our birthday dinner got off to a late start ( late arrivals) but the staff was prepared with excellent service. The tomato bruschetta was tasty with nicely toasted bread wedges, chicken piccata was very tasty with lots of sauce w capers. Lasagna was a bit dry and didn’t have a chance to eat dessert though it sounded excellent.

Had our nieces reception here and it was phenomenal. The wait staff was amazing, the food was INCREDIBLE even though they were feeding an entire restaurant and 200 people in the banquet room. 10/10.

TAVERNA REVIEWS

Great menu in a nice setting. Service was excellent. The location sits amid an assortment of shops. The bolognese was full of rich flavors. The Sicilian seafood stew was a standout, with loads of seafood (add scallops or pasta for an even heartier and tasty experience). The charcuterie board allows for 5 selections from an assortment of 10, with additional monthly options.

Truffle fries are very good. Pasta was good too but the protein (chicken) we added was not cooked properly. They have offered customization to menu, which is very good. Staff was very supportive and offered to redo the dish. Recommend.

Thank you Tory (our waiter) for fabulous wine suggestions & amazing service. Our dinner dishes were absolutely delicious! Pictured below is the Ribeye dinner special & Bolognese.

OLIVE GARDEN ITALIAN RESTAURANT JACKSONVILLE REVIEWS

Had a fantastic meal at Olive Garden! The Chicken Alfredo was rich, creamy, and perfectly cooked — absolute comfort food done right. The meatballs were tender, flavorful, and paired great with the pasta. And the Pasta e Fagioli soup was hearty, fresh, and full of flavor. Everything came out hot and delicious, and the service was friendly and attentive. Definitely a satisfying dining experience from start to finish.

Great food as always. Service was good, our waitress was new but she was on time and attentive. Manager came around, we were well treated. Food is plentiful, and plenty of newer choices.

1st time dining solo, something i wanna do more, and it was more relaxing than I thought it would be. My server was attentive and the food was delicious as always
