Always a wonderful experience at Maggiano's Westshore. The Chicken Parmesan was huge, the bread was warm, and our server made the whole table feel like family. Took home enough leftovers for two more meals.

The place
Maggiano's Little Italy is a semi-upscale Italian restaurant located at 203 Westshore Plaza in Tampa's Westshore district. The restaurant serves classic Italian-American fare family-style in a relaxed, polished dining room. Signature dishes include Mom's Lasagna, Chicken Parmesan, Fettuccine Alfredo, and the popular Classic Pasta options. The Tampa location offers full-service dining, a wine bar, takeout, delivery, catering, and private banquet rooms for events. The restaurant is part of the Westshore Plaza shopping center with ample free parking. Reservations are accepted via OpenTable and the official website. Maggiano's is family-friendly and accommodates large parties. The restaurant holds a 4.5-star rating on Google with over 6,550 reviews.
Tucked into Westshore Plaza on Tampa's busy west side, Maggiano's Little Italy delivers the kind of generous, family-style Italian-American dining that has made it a special-occasion staple. The dining room is warm and polished — white tablecloths, dim lighting, and the unmistakable smell of garlic and slow-simmered red sauce — making it equally suited to date night, birthdays, and big family gatherings.
Diners who prefer a more formal Italian experience in the same Westshore area often pair Maggiano's with a visit to Donatello Italian Restaurant on N Dale Mabry, where tuxedo-clad waiters carve and flambé tableside in a white-tablecloth dining room.
Order Mom's Lasagna or the Chicken Parmesan if you want the signatures, but regulars know the Classic Pasta menu is the move: pick any pasta with any sauce and take a second portion home for free. Don't skip the Stuffed Mushrooms or Calamari Fritté to start, and save room for a slice of New York–Style Cheesecake or the Warm Apple Crostada. The wine list runs deep on Italian reds.
Reservations are strongly recommended, especially on weekends and around the holidays — book through OpenTable or the Maggiano's website. Parking is free and abundant in the Westshore Plaza lot. Takeout and delivery are available, and the restaurant has private banquet rooms for parties, rehearsal dinners, and corporate events. Family-friendly with a kids' menu.

What people are saying
★★★★★
Came for our anniversary and they did not disappoint. Mom's Lasagna is the real deal — rich, hearty, and clearly made with care. The wine list is impressive and the atmosphere is perfect for a special night out.
★★★★★
We hosted a birthday dinner for 14 people in one of their banquet rooms. Family-style service was generous, the staff was incredibly attentive, and the price per person was very reasonable for the quality.
