March Luncheon

Maggiano’s Little Italy at The Rim
17603 W Interstate 10 7825 
(210) 451-6000

Maggiano’s was successful from the very beginning. The portions of Italian–American cuisine were large, reminiscent of a Sunday night visit to their grandmother’s house, or as they say in Italy, Nonna’s casa. The recipes were simple, authentic classics, many of them coaxed out of Italian grandmothers, mothers, and aunts whose ideas of a recipe were a pinch of this and a sprinkle of that. With some trial and error, the chefs celebrated the birth of many of Maggiano’s signature dishes.

Social Hour to begin at 11:00 am with Luncheon to follow at 12:00

Freshly Baked Ciabatta Rolls

Stuffed Mushrooms as an Appetizer

Maggiano’s Salad
