    We've been dining at this hidden gem regularly for 20+ years. It's our absolute go-to for multigenerational gatherings and special occasions. We do takeout on occasion. They also have a great early bird menu that is available until 6:30 on weekdays. Don't be fooled by the vintage decor and classic menu. The food is excellent every time, and the specials are always different and wonderful. My favorites are any of the fish dishes (menu or special), the caldeirada, and the chicken Marsala. The lamb dishes are always perfectly done as well. I've never had anything that didn't leave me wanting to lick the plate. For dessert the pasteis de Nata (Portuguese custard tart). And a carafe of Portuguese red wine tops it off great! The staff is gracious and friendly and flexible about substitutions. If you're looking for delicious and expertly executed classic cuisine, this is the place for you!

    Maggiano Chevy Chase was pretty good overall. It’s been a while since we have been but notice an increase in price. Everything was good for the most part. I have an issue with the salad. The Maggiano’s salad which is now close to $17 for the entree portion. The amount of the salad was so underwhelming. A salad doesn’t cost them a lot to make but to charge $17 for it is just crazy. I had to get 2 salads to make a full meal. I did take a little home but for it to be enough for a meal cost me about $34, I could have gotten something else for that much but because I love that salad I got the salad. We had 7 people, each got a meal, I had 2 salads and we ordered 2 appetizers for the table, and 3 iced tea The total bill with tip came to $345. That is crazy for what we got. That’s close to $50 per person. The waiter (Marvin) was attentive, always there asking us if we need anything.
