I've got an upset stomach 24 hours after eating there. I don't trust the restaurant and I won't be back. I don't like their food anyways so no big loss. Hoping to find a good Italian place where I feel safe.

One of our favorite places to go! The Rigatoni D with gf pasta is amazing! Well trained staff familiar with menu items.

The gluten free pasta available is not worth the price, but at least you can join family as they enjoy the menu.

My favorite option for anything Italian food in Orange County. Speak to the chef or manager and let them know what you want and, if they have the ingredients, they will make it for you. Love, love, love Maggiano's!

The waitress couldn’t have been nicer! She asked if there was any allergies at the start of our meal. She told me about the gf pasta and offered that if I wanted anything else, she would get the chef to come and speak with me. As a symptomatic celiac, this made me feel very comfortable. The food was also delicious. Lots of options. Go with an empty tummy!

Fantastic. The server was very knowledgeable about gluten free, but when I mentioned I was also dairy free he brought the chef out to talk to me. The chef ran through all my options with me and ultimately was able to make a delicious chicken piccata. I would definitely go back!

This is the second Maggiano’s I have eaten at in the last 2 months and while my experience was great in Philadelphia, it was even better in Bridgewater. On a busy Saturday night, the lead chef came out to speak with me and told me he would personally be preparing my food. He asked for my order ahead of time so that when it was placed with the waiter, he would already know what I needed. GF pasta is cooked in separate space and all the meat dishes can be made with no breading on a separate grill. The sauces and salad dressings are gluten free as well - the only area that’s lacking is their appetizers as none can be made gluten free, but I just got a bigger salad. Our food took a bit of time to come out because that particular chef was preparing it, but I absolutely didn’t mind at all and it was delicious. All of the wait staff we encountered knew the protocol and they announced the “allergy” meal when they came out. It feels awesome to be able to eat out at a place I would frequent before my diagnosis and we will definitely be back soon!

Waitress assured me they are a scratch kitchen and most dishes could be made gf I had chicken Parmesan. It was pretty good except that the chicken had an artificial grill flavor. It was good but not great just wish they’d have gf bread!! It was good and I’ll eat here again just order something different

The chef came out to greet us and addressed our needs. My son is celiac. The chef made him penne bolognese and he loved it! He did not get sick at all. The staff was fairly knowledgeable. Overall a great experience
