Best Italian Restaurants in Washington Township

A friend and I stopped in early for a warm bowl of soup. We had the mushroom which was the best I’ve ever had. It was not creamy but thick and full of mushrooms and flavor. Fantastic. I also enjoyed the beet and arugula salad with walnuts and goat cheese. Great dressing. My friend ordered the mussels. They looked great ( I will try them soon) but she wasn’t a fan of the pepper flakes they’d added. It was a wonderful dinner on a cold snowy December day.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary there and they provided desert and a glass of champagne compliments of the house which we didn’t expect and thought it was a wonderful gesture. The food was outstanding. The wait staff was very personable and attentive.

Everything was great except the automatic 20% tip on our party of 6. The restaurant management should trust the patrons to tip according to service and we had great service.

We were greeted warmly and were seated within 10 minutes; our waitress Joanne came to our table w/I 5 minutes of seating. She brought water and rolls and explained the buffet all with a smile. The food was excellent. Joanne checked on us several times to take care of any of needs. All in all, it was a very lovely meal. I recommend the restaurant to anyone

This was our first visit to Maggiano's, and it exceeded all our expectations. We made a reservation on OpenTable and were promptly seated upon arrival. Our table, a cozy half-moon booth tucked off to the side, offered a fantastic view of the restaurant while still providing plenty of privacy. The atmosphere was perfect, with warm ambient lighting and beautiful Christmas decorations paired with festive music. Our server, Raquel, was absolutely phenomenal. We’ll definitely be requesting her section the next time we’re in town. She was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome throughout the evening. It was clear she genuinely enjoys her job and takes pride in making her customers feel like family. For our meal, we started with a calamari appetizer, along with Caprese and Caesar salads. For our entrées, we ordered two servings of lobster carbonara and a side of roasted garlic broccoli. Everything was served hot, flavorful, and in generous portions. Raquel expertly timed each course so we never felt rushed, kept our drinks topped off, and checked in regularly to ensure we were happy with everything. She even took the time to chat with us about a topic we’d mentioned when we were seated, which we really appreciated—it made the experience feel personal. To top it all off, she surprised us with a complimentary dessert to thank us for being great guests. Ironically, it was Raquel who made the evening truly special. In short, the atmosphere, food, and service were all outstanding. If you’re considering a visit to Maggiano's, don’t hesitate—you won’t be disappointed!
