Maggiano’s Little Italy® will open
its first Kansas location today, paying homage to Overland Park’s rich
Italian-American history. Maggiano’s prides itself on its made-from-scratch
dishes, based on recipes that have been passed down through generations of
Italian families and are now being shared outside of Nonna’s kitchen. At the
helm of Maggiano’s newest location are Executive Chef Randal Wheeler and
Managing Partner Sergio Tibavisky.
“We are excited to add to Overland
Park’s already burgeoning Italian community with our own version of
Italian-American comfort food – served with passionate hospitality in a space
that we call home,” said Tibavisky. “As we open our doors to the community, our
hope is that Maggiano’s becomes a place for Kansas Citians to celebrate special
milestones or nights out with family and friends.”
Guests are seen as an extension of
the Maggiano’s family, treated to home-cooked Italian classics. Each dish is
made with high-quality seasonal ingredients, giving them a new twist depending
on time of year. Furthering Maggiano’s tailor-made culinary traditions,
Executive Chef Randal Wheeler conducts tableside visits and can customize
recipes according to Guests’ dietary needs and preferences.
Maggiano’s Grand Opening officially
kicks off with a traditional “Pasta Cutting” ceremony. Noted community leaders
have been invited, to help establish the restaurant as part of the Overland
Park family, meet with the leadership team and enjoy some authentic, Italian-American
cuisine. All qualifying proceeds from Grand Opening events will be donated to
the local Make-A-Wish® chapter.
The 8,486-square-foot restaurant
opens at 7025 W 135th St., near the Corbin Park retail development. This
Overland Park location will serve as Maggiano’s 53rd restaurant
across 22 states and the District of Columbia.
