Who owns Maggiano's Italian Classics? ›

Brinker International, Inc.

(or simply Brinker) is an American multinational hospitality industry company that owns Chili's and Maggiano's Little Italy restaurant chains.

Brinker International, Inc. (NYSE: EAT) is one of the world's leading casual dining restaurant companies and home of Chili's® Grill & Bar, Maggiano's Little Italy® and virtual brand: It's Just Wings®.

The traditional spaghetti and meatballs dinner is a creation of the American household and has no actual roots in Italian culture. Italy does have their own version of meatballs, but they're very different from what we know here. Known as polpettes, they're very rarely eaten alongside pasta.

So, if you can't find the dish in Italy, where does it come from? The answer is the Italian immigrants that first came to the United States, or in their words, “America”. According to the Ellis Island archives, from 1880 to 1920 around 4 million Italians emigrated from Italy to America.

Polpette Al Forno

"Al forno" simply means "baked in an oven," and it's the most customary way you'll find meatballs and pasta in the same dish together in Italy. While spaghetti and meatballs may not be so common, a casserole-style dish of pasta and meatballs certainly is - think baked ziti!

Warm Ciabatta Bread is a dip away.

What oil is best for Italian food? ›

Olive oil in Italian cuisine

Although Italians do eat butter, particularly in the north of the country, olive oil is the undisputed foundation of Italian cuisine.

The restaurant was packed yet he continued to be attentive throughout our meal. Did you know that Maggiano's has a “secret menu”? There is a middle pocket in the case that holds the main menu. It's always available yet we've never had anyone ever tell us about it-we just happened to find it on a previous visit.

The parent company of Chili's, which previously launched It's Just Wings, recently added another ghost kitchen called Maggiano's Italian Classics. It's an offshoot of another restaurant in the same family, Maggiano's Little Italy.

Brinker International is phasing out its virtual Maggiano's Italian Classics brand as it works to simplify restaurant operations and notes decline in post-COVID demand.

What's more, the Cheesecake Factory owns almost all of its locations, and Brinker owns about 60% of its outlets. Brinker also owns multiple restaurant brands: Chili's and Maggiano's, so perhaps one could be sold or spun-off.
