DALLAS, Jan. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The passion of
Maggiano's Little Italy® Teammates is
simple – make every Guest feel special. From made-from-scratch,
classic Italian-American dishes served family style to its
welcoming, family atmosphere, Maggiano's sets the bar high.
Maggiano's Guests agree.
According to an annual restaurant industry study from Market
Force Information® – one of the most cited in the
industry – Maggiano's is America's Favorite Casual-Dining Chain,
winning this year's title with a composite loyalty index score of
64 percent.
The study polled more than 6,000 consumers to understand
America's favorite casual brands in seven categories, such as
pizza, breakfast, steakhouse, Italian and seafood. Maggiano's is
the overall champion and topped the charts for the best food and
best value, a rare balance in the casual dining segment. Maggiano's
also placed first in the Italian category for the fifth year in a
row.
"It's an incredible honor for Maggiano's to be named America's
Favorite Casual-Dining Chain," said Maggiano's President
Kelly C. Baltes. "At Maggiano's, our
passion is to make our Guests feel special, no matter the occasion.
The attention to detail that's executed by each of our talented
Executive Chefs is incomparable, ensuring that we always serve the
best dish possible. Additionally, all of our Teammates go above and
beyond to create a level of service second to none. It's exciting
to know that our Guests appreciate our dedication to exemplary
service, craveable food and memorable experiences."
In 1991, Maggiano's opened its first location on the corner of
Clark Street and Grand Avenue in Chicago. The restaurant
was successful from the very beginning, with eager diners sometimes
waiting hours for an opportunity to enjoy made-from-scratch recipes
passed down through generations. The meals have always been served
family-style, making Maggiano's the go-to destination for special
occasions and getting together with family and friends.
