Bigger Portions, Same Price: Maggiano's Offers Larger Portions and Expanded Family Style Dining at No Extra Cost
Beginning March 18 Guests Can Enjoy 20% More Pasta, Increased Protein on Favorite Dishes, and an Expanded Family Style Menu with 15 Additional Options and Endless Refills
DALLAS, March 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- While others shrink portions, Maggiano's Little Italy® is going bigger and serving up more of what guests love. The iconic Italian-American brand is going back to Maggiano's — returning to the abundant portions, welcoming hospitality, and classic dishes that made the brand a favorite for decades.
Across all 48 locations nationwide*, guests will see substantially larger pasta dishes with approximately 20% more pasta on favorite entrées like Chicken Fettucine Alfredo and Spaghetti & Meatballs served with increased portions of chicken, meatballs, and shrimp — all at no extra cost. The Family Style menu — the best way to experience Maggiano's — has also been expanded to include 15 additional classic dishes including favorites like Baked Ziti, Eggplant Parmesan, Four Cheese Ravioli, and Chicken Piccata, ensuring everyone at the table can enjoy more of their favorites (and discover a few new ones, too).
The move reflects a confident return to what Maggiano's does best: hearty portions, familiar Italian-American flavors, and meals meant to be shared. By leaning into abundance and delivering more value, Maggiano's is bringing people back to the table in a big way, staying true to its roots while reigniting the spirit that has defined the brand for generations.
"Back to Maggiano's means recommitting to what made this brand special— scratch-made food, abundant portions with enough to take home for a second or third meal, and Italian-American favorites we all love sharing with friends and family," said Kevin Hochman, CEO and President of Brinker International, Inc. "The new family-style spread is exactly how Nonna would do it—serving up plate after plate until you couldn't possibly eat another bite, then sending you home with leftovers anyway."
The brand is also taking its beloved Family Style dining experience to the next level by adding 15 additional dishes to the current selections — giving guests even more variety and more reasons to gather around the table. Designed for parties of four or more, and starting at just $44 per person ($14 for guests under 12), the four-course Family Style menu continues to deliver an abundant spread of fan-favorite dishes and keeps them coming until everyone is full. The experience begins with two salads, followed by two appetizers, four entrées, and three scratch-made desserts designed for sharing including the famous Gigi's Buttercake, Tiramisu, and New York Style Cheesecake.
"At Maggiano's, we've always believed that Italian-American dining should feel generous in spirit and rich in flavor," said Chef Anthony Amoroso, Vice President of Innovation and Growth at Maggiano's Little Italy. "That tradition has defined us for decades. Whether enjoying your favorite pasta or gathering around the table for Family Style, the experience should feel warm, welcoming, and leave everyone feeling satisfied. We are going back to our core beliefs to make sure every dish reflects that spirit — delivering the same scratch-made quality, abundant portions, and classic dishes that remind you why you came in the first place."
Whether gathering for a celebration, date night or family dinner, guests can expect fuller plates, more choice and the warm hospitality that defines the Maggiano's experience.
