DALLAS , Nov. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Maggiano's Little Italy® is continuing to celebrate the holiday season by providing delicious options for upscale winter gatherings with family-style dine-in, carryout options and winter menu features for December! In the spirit of togetherness, Maggiano's will also have their doors open to anyone who doesn't feel like turning on the oven this Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.

From Nov. 30 to New Year's Eve, guests can dine in at Maggiano's for an extravagant three-course holiday menu featuring refined Italian classics. Guests will be able to make their perfect meal with two salads and their choice from a list of 14 starters, over 10 pastas and 11 entrees - there's sure to be a menu combination to satisfy every craving! Options range from classic Italian appetizers like Stuffed Mushrooms and new holiday feature, Sausage and Peppers, to hearty pastas and entrées like Branzino Crab Imperial, succulent Beef Tenderloin Medallions and Four-Cheese Ravioli.

"The holiday season is something we do exceptionally well at Maggiano's because at the heart and soul of this time of year is food and family: two foundational areas of our brand for over 30 years," said Larry Konecny, chief concept officer and vice president of Maggiano's Little Italy®. "While we focus on family-style, large group dining and carryout offerings all year round, we get to really have fun and innovate with our holiday menus and offer delicious, one-of-a-kind dining experiences tailored for every family."
