CHERRY HILL, N.J., March 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Maggiano's Little Italy brings its love of food and wine to Cherry Hill when it opens today at Cherry Hill Mall on Route 38.

Guests can also select from a full menu of a la carte items ranging from new twists on old favorites such as Lasagna or Baked Ziti & Sausage to famous Chef-inspired creations such as Lobster Ravioli and Maggiano's signature dish Rigatoni "D(R)."
