Great family restaurant. Amazing pasta, appetizers and bread. I would definitely come back and try more items. Very nice waitstaff. Large restaurant with many tables. Family friendly.

Our waiter was Antonio who is related to the owner. Gave us good suggestions. My wife had the baked lasagna and house salad. I had one of the specials shrimp and lobster with marinara and spinach and homemade spaghetti. Really good. I also had the minestrone soup. We haven't been there in a long time, but we'll be back.

We're from Ann Arbor but came out this way to take my Grandpa to dinner. Randomly found Maisano's on Yelp. SO impressed!! Kind of an odd location but all of the food was phenomenal, big portions, wonderful service (shoutout to Bernadette and Taryn A++!). I generally don't come out this way or think of Novi for dining but we'll be back. There are a lot of great restaurants in A2 but this is on par with them! Highly recommend.

Nice place Had a nice dining experience Keep up the good work Waitstaff was very mindful

I found this place through Yelp and I loved it. It's tucked away in a strip mall, and the service was great. We started off with the roma tomato bruschetta and it was delicious. I really loved the tomato topping. Then the meals came with Caesar salad which were good too. For the main meal my friend got the gnocchi with meat sauce and she loved it. I got the shrimp fra diavolo and it was delicious. Not spicy so I added some crushed red pepper and it was so good. For dessert we got a brownie sundae and the portion was big and came with two brownies. We will definitely be back.

I love that they are open until 10:30pm on Thursday. I stopped in for a late dinner around 9:30pm and received excellent service. We were greeted immediately and seated in a quiet booth. Our server came over to tell us the current specials. Since I was dining with a vegetarian I loved that they offered a seafood, a steak and a vegetarian special. Our salads came out quickly followed by bread fresh from the oven. I ordered shrimp fra diavolo. It had a little spice but was full of flavor. Some bites were a bit salty but after a good stir the seasonings balanced out. My friend ordered the vegetarian special which was a 3 cheese stuffed pasta with spinach. He said it was delicious. This was my first time visiting Maisano's but I will definitely be back.

I'm not Italian, so I can't claim to be an expert. But this is the best dang Italian restaurant in the Novi area. I'm not aware of anything else that is close to the exceptional pasta dishes you can get from Maisano's. We've had it all: Lasagna to die for. Mind blow Brushetta. Their salad dressing is mouth watering just to think about. The absolute, bomb them all favorite for me is the Cacciatore. I could eat nothing but that Cacciatore from Maisano's till my last day. Definitely worth your time! It's a small, quaint place, and they do take out extremely well.

I went for dinner at 5 pm on a Wednesday and it was not that busy. I was seated right away. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. It was dimly lit and looked like a great place to take a date. My server came right over and gave me a menu and took my drink order. She took my order after she returned with my drink and bread. The menu had a lot to choose from and was not overwhelming. I ordered Chicken Parmesan along with soup. She brought my soup right away and it was chicken noodle. The noodles in the soup were little balls, different from what I have had in the past, but good. The broth was very tasty. After about 5 minutes she brought my Chicken Parmesan and pasta. The pasta was mostaccioli. The chicken was very good. It was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The pasta was cooked perfectly, but the sauce was not my favorite. It wasn't bad, just not my fav. I would definitely come back if ever in this area again.

My family has been going to Maisano's for YEARS! It used to be our Christmas Eve dinner tradition. The restaurant is located in a little strip mall next to a Lover's Lane, so we have made many jokes about doing some last minute gift shopping there. Always friendly service! Sometimes can be a little slow, but it's worth it for the food. I always HAVE to get their Chicken Marsala! The rich & creamy sauce it's a family favorite. I've tried other items on the menu including the Chicken Parm and Tenderloin Tip entrees. All great options. Make sure to check out their daily specials! All entrees include soup or salad + bread basket. Salads- house or Caesar salad are great Soup- minestrone or baked onion soup are really good! Bread- they sadly no longer serve their amazing rolls, now it's a cut bread loaf. You almost don't need to get appetizers because of the bread basket + soup/salad. We recently tried the spinach artichoke dip, but I wouldn't recommend. Not really what we expected, lacking on spinach and artichokes.
