We're the original originator

Once upon a long time ago, going out to eat meant either a fancy, pricey, fussy restaurant, or a fast food drive-thru meal handed to you in a greasy paper sack. Our namesake, Norman Brinker, changed all that by pioneering the idea of "casual dining". And he knew an original when he found it. Guests in Chicago knew Maggiano's Little Italy was special when we opened our doors in 1991 on the corner of Clark and Grand. Today, thousands of restaurants later, Brinker International is the name behind good food, good times and great places to work. And Maggiano's is our own little slice of Italian American tradition come to life! Tony Soprano would be so proud.

Maggiano's is authentic. Just like the people who work here

From the photos on the wall to the pasta in the kitchen to the people that surround us: everything at Maggiano's is authentic. Those Italian families that left their homeland for a life in the United States brought great tradition, great recipes and great fun with them. So, we live it up and make a meal at our place easy on everyone. We all work hard here and we all play our partjust like those fancy orchestras that make Darth Vader sound cool. We just skip the stuffed shirts.

Working with us comes with an extra helping of helping out

Half the fun of making it in life is being able to share it. So part of our way of life is helping make the dreams of others come true, through the special events we host and special memories we help create. We've seen our fair share of weddings, bar mitzvahs, birthdays and baby showers. There's nothing better than helping create lasting memories in our restaurants and in our community. It's one of the reasons we support the Make-A-Wish Foundation, making wishes come true for kids with life threatening medical conditions. On the local level, we support the North Texas Food Bank, and because we also have a heart for our own, making small contributions to the Brinker Family Fund adds up in a big way and helps out our own in times of need.

What do you think? Sound like your cup of espresso? Around here we say our purpose is to bring people together to celebrate the love of family and friends. If it sounds like we have our own way of looking at the world, you're right! We call it The Maggiano's Way, and it means odds are you get us and we want to meet you now! Go ahead, hit the button.
