Yes, we live in the city in part so we can be big ol' snobs about not having to eat at chain restaurants. (KIDDING.) But in the chain world, I just discovered Maggiano's Little Italy, and for a chain, it's really pretty good! I tried the Rigatoni D, with chicken, mushrooms and caramelized onions in a Marsala cream sauce, and it was awesome!
Strangly, they have almost the exact same dish with a different name (Carmela's Chicken Rigatoni) at Romano's Macaroni Grill (same owner as Maggiano's) and it's only a sad imitation of the original. Not that I know which was the original. But that sounds better.

We just ate at Trader Vic's for the first time last night, and I was pleasantly surprised at what a cool experience it was - the food was fantastic, the service was top-notch, and it was reasonably priced...no chain suckiness to be found!
We have Maggiano's in Chicago, and my parents love it! (I like it too, but don't go too often.)
