Sorry, but I just can't agree with people who rate this restaurant highly. The food, as mentioned in the review I just read, is Americanized. Why go to an Italian restaurant if you want to eat American food???? The food is basically bland and boring and the service was slow and not friendly.
Unfortunately the hype around Massimo's is far-overrated. Yes, they have linen tablecloths, but that doesn't make a quality restaurant. First and foremost, the food has to be good. And at Massimo's, sadly, the food is only mediocre. It's average Italian fare with nothing special to recommend it....
There's a good reason you see a line out the door almost every day after 6PM. Food is very good. Portions excellent. Kids love the bread sticks, kids' plates and your whole family will probably love the salad. What do they put in that dressing?!
This used to be a 5-star (at least 4.5) experience just about every time. Food not nearly as good now.
Remarkably bad value. Small scallops were mushiest I've ever had. Large scallops had great texture, but no flavor. Calamari were nicely seasoned, but half were so dry, we thought they might be tossed in from yesterday. Why did we pay $57 for a bottle of red wine that tasted like a $6 bottle?
A less than typical italian food restaurant. They have an americanized Italian Menu without a lot of true italian food. But what they serve is good food. The alfredo sauce is to die for adn is great with the Chicken Fettuccine.
A great Italian place for a romantic evening. Food is pricey, but very good. Private booths for seclution, a good wine list and good service. Definately reccomend this place for a nice romantic dinner.
