Wouldn't disagree with Buca as a great choice. I just liked how Maggiano's atmosphere and menu was like an "old" Italian style east-coast restaurant. Very much like you would find in NYC, Boston or Philly, or even Baltimore, where I have eaten many times. You don't get that much on the west coast and it was nice to see/experience.
Buca's chicken parm or saltimbucca with a side of spaghetti and meatballs and sauteed green beans is just like momma made!
