I attended a party at Maggiano's Little Italy in Buckhead. When we first arrived, I was happy to see they offer valet parking. I hate parking myself downtown since the spaces and lots are always so small. The decor in the restaurant is grand, authentic, classy, and cozy all at the same time. The restaurant offers plenty of large, round tables for large parties. This makes it possible to enjoy everyone in your party, rather than just the people next to you at a rectangular table. The food was excellent (and I have an Italian grandma, so I have high standards!). The dishes were served family-style, so everyone was able to taste many dishes. The wine list is great. We enjoyed many bottles. Our server was very professional. He kept our glasses full and never made us feel rushed. We were able to sit for hours and truly enjoy our meal and each other's company. This is a great venue for catching up with a large group of friends without having to do the dishes afterwards! Just don't plan on doing much after the meal, because your stomach will be full!
