While we appreciate Maggiano’s making it clear what their vegan options are, there really are not a lot. If what we have shared below is not what you’re hoping for, maybe ask when visiting if they could put something together for you (a salad with balsamic vinegar and olive oil perhaps) or modify a dish or side.
Here’s everything noted as vegan at Maggiano’s:
Vegan Options at Maggiano’s Little Italy
Maggiano’s Disclaimer:
Vegetarian (VT)/Vegan (VG) – Our corporate dietitian has identified which menu items meet our vegetarian and vegan
standards. Vegetarian (VT) items contain no beef, pork, poultry, fish, shellfish or ingredients derived from animals (e.g.,
gelatin, chicken broth, rennet), but items may contain eggs or milk. Vegan (VG) items contain no animal-derived products.
Because we use shared fryers and grills in our restaurants, fried or grilled foods are exposed to animal product during the
cooking process (e.g., Crispy Vesuvio Potatoes in same oil as Breaded Chicken).
Pasta
- Spaghetti & Marinara
Sides
- Roasted Garlic Broccoli
- Spaghetti Marinara
Kids
- Pasta w/ Marinara
*As with any restaurant that is not 100% vegan or does not offer a designated cooking space for their vegan options, cross contamination can occur and fryers/grills may be shared with animal products. You can choose what your level of comfort is with these potential issues.
Maggiano’s Vegan FAQ
Are Maggiano’s Rolls Vegan?
We used to have their table rolls listed as vegan as long as you did not use the butter. In their updated 2026 allergen guide, this is not mentioned. We recommend asking if this is the case when you visit.
Is Maggiano’s Minestrone Soup Vegan?
No. According to Maggiano’s allergen guide, the Minestrone soup contains dairy.
