Atlanta Eats & Drinks – Italian Pasta 🍝🇮🇹

Visited Maggiano’s Little Italy (westside location — they have three in Metro ATL) for some hearty Italian classics — and it definitely satisfied the pasta craving! What We Had: Sampler Platter — the fried calamari was crispy and delicious 🦑✨, but some other items weren’t my favorite. If you're here for fried snacks, just order the calamari! Spaghetti with Meatballs — simple, comforting, and perfectly cooked. The meatballs were finely ground and huge — one was plenty! 🍝❤️ Famous Rigatoni (with chicken and mushrooms) — creamy, rich, and packed with flavor. A bit heavy, so sharing is wise. 🍄🐔 Four-Cheese Ravioli — not my thing, but my friend enjoyed it! Special Deal: They’re running a promo: order a classic pasta, add $5, and take another classic pasta home! We got the lasagna to go — though reheating it was tricky (microwave = uneven, oven = burnt 😅). Pro tip: eat the lasagna in-house and take home something like spaghetti instead! Sweet Ending: Wait was longer than expected, so the server kindly gifted us tiramisu — delicious, but very rich. Best shared between two! 🍰☕ Verdict: Solid Italian-American fare with generous portions. Great for family dinners or when you want leftovers for the next day. Just choose your take-home dish wisely! 🥡😊 #Maggianos #ItalianFood #AtlantaItalian #Spaghetti #Calamari #PastaDeal #Tiramisu #FamilyStyle #ComfortFood #LeftoverWin
