Photos: Maggiano’s Little Italy ready to open Monday at Tysons Corner Center

Maggiano’s Little Italy is making its return to Tysons, bringing back its hallmark “family style” pastas and Italian fare after a months-long relocation process.

The popular Italian restaurant will open its new location at Tysons Corner Center on Monday (June 15) after closing in September at Tysons Galleria across Route 123. There, the restaurant will continue to serve Italian cuisine and shareable dishes in a massive 17,000-square-foot space previously held by Brio.

A Dallas, Texas-based chain, Maggiano’s has long maintained a presence in Tysons since its initial two-level location opened at the Galleria in the mid-1990s. Other regional locations include D.C.’s Friendship Heights and a restaurant at Springfield Town Center.

“We’re just really excited to be back in Northern Virginia, in the Tysons area,” Mike Wesley, Maggiano’s vice president of marketing, told FFXnow. “This has been a really important market and area for us for a long period of time, and we’re excited to get back … even in a bigger way here at the new location at Tysons Corner Center.”

The new space can accommodate around 700 guests across two main dining rooms, a full-service bar, and an indoor, mall-facing patio. There are also three private event rooms, which can seat about 56 guests each.

The restaurant offered a preview of its menu to VIP ticket holders at the mall’s Taste of Tysons event last month, which includes lunch, dinner, cocktails and desserts as well as the chain’s staple prix fixe “family style experience.”

The special menu serves large, shareable portions of salad, appetizers, main courses and desserts at $50 per person, or $15 for guests ages 5-12. That includes several classic pastas, like baked zita, fettucine alfredo and rigatoni alla vodka, as well as a special “Rigatoni D” with roasted mushrooms, caramelized onions and a Marsala cream sauce.

Other shareables include crab cakes, meatballs, chicken parmesan, beef tenderloin medallions and blackened salmon with crispy Calabrian shrimp.

There will be a ribbon cutting at 9 a.m. Monday with the Tysons Regional Chamber of Commerce to commemorate the new restaurant. The event will include coffee, pastries and an “exclusive restaurant tour.”

Maggiano’s hours at Tysons Corner Center are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Reservations are available to book on OpenTable. The new restaurant is offering a free dessert promotion for “e-club” members who make a Tysons reservation by July 14.
