'Menu for Two' - a meal 'per due' now available for a limited time
DALLAS, March 11, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Mamma Mia! Maggiano's Little Italy(R) introduces their "Menu For Two" - a fixed-price, chef-inspired, three-course menu all for just $40. Available now at participating nationwide locations, Maggiano's invites guests to select from a list of signature appetizers or salads and four new entrees. Then top off the great meal with a choice of daily handmade desserts.
Start the meal by sharing one half-size portion of Maggiano's appetizers: Crispy Zucchini Fritte, Tomato Bruschetta or Stuffed Mushrooms. Want a lighter fare? Try two side salads like the Chopped, Caesar or Maggiano's salad.
For the main course, each person chooses their own entree. Making its debut on Maggiano's menu is a Balsamic-Glazed Salmon baked on cedar paper and served with a Mediterranean orzo with pine nuts. Also featured is the Braised Veal Pasta, savory pieces of slow-braised veal tossed with tender, fresh-herb pasta, mushrooms, spinach and topped with garlic and herb cheese. Other highlights include guest favorites of Chicken Romano with Angel Hair Pasta, Shrimp Scampi with Angel Hair Pasta and Chicken & Mushroom Lasagna.
For dessert, Maggiano's Menu For Two showcases an assortment of decadent options. Pick one regular serving size dessert to share, or four delectable mini-desserts including Tiramisu, Crème Brulee, Apple Crostada, Chocolate Zuccotto Cake, New York Style Cheesecake or try the Dessert of the Day.
