AUSTIN, Texas, March 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Maggiano's Little
Italy ® officially welcomes Austin residents and Hill Country
visitors today with its grand opening at The Domain. This is the
first Maggiano's Little Italy to open in Austin and fifth location
in Texas, bringing the total number of Maggiano's restaurants to 45
locations worldwide. The new Maggiano's is boosting the economic
climate in Travis County by adding more than 165 employment
opportunities, including full- and part-time and more than 10
managerial positions. Maggiano's Little Italy offers
made-from-scratch, classic dishes inspired by Italian-American
recipes, prepared with a contemporary twist by Maggiano's Austin
executive chef Matt Nicholson. The warm, nostalgic atmosphere is
reminiscent of the golden age of Little Italy. Dining spaces set in
richly polished mahogany wood are accented by leather banquettes
draped with red-checkered tablecloths. The family portraits
adorning the walls invite guests to become part of the Maggiano's
family. In partnership with Chef Nicholson is managing partner John
Gerarde, who will oversee restaurant operations. Gerarde and
Nicholson both have impressive resumes of restaurant industry
experience and most recently held positions at the Maggiano's in
Dallas and Tampa, Fla., respectively. "Maggiano's specializes in
authentic Italian-American cuisine, but our passion is making
people feel special, and is one of the many reasons I love working
for this company," said Gerarde. "Austin is a thriving area with a
laid-back, 'big city meets small town' feel and is the perfect
location for our neighborhood restaurant. We're excited to open our
doors and invite our friends and neighbors to dine with us for
birthdays, anniversaries or any Wednesday night when they don't
feel like cooking." Maggiano's menu is diverse, featuring an array
of signature pastas and baked specialties like Rigatoni "D ®"
and Mom's Lasagna or the popular "family-style" endless
three-course meal, where guests can choose from 15 appetizers, four
salads, 18 pastas, 15 entrees and nine desserts. Maggiano's Austin
will also introduce the "Today and Tomorrow" offering, where guests
choose from a selection of handmade pastas and baked specialties
and go home with a free carryout order to enjoy tomorrow. Their
second selection will be packaged and ready to go at the end of
their meal. Understanding the importance of guests' special dietary
needs, Maggiano's talented culinary team will also be able to
customize dishes to accommodate those with food allergens, such as
wheat, rye or nuts. The 17,200-square foot facility features
seating for 600 guests and boasts three private banquet rooms
accommodating an additional 220 people for special events such as
wedding receptions, business meetings and luncheons. Hosting a
meeting or gathering in a home or separate venue? Whether guests
