Maggiano’s Little Italy returns to Tysons Corner Center with larger pasta dining room

Maggiano’s Little Italy is coming back to Tysons with a larger stage for the family-style pasta and Italian comfort food that made it a longtime local fixture. The restaurant is set to reopen Monday, June 15, at Tysons Corner Center in a space of a little over 17,000 square feet, a major step up in scale for a brand built around big tables, shareable platters and lingering dinners.

The new address is 1961 Chain Bridge Rd. in Tysons/McLean, Virginia, on Level 1 of Tysons Corner Center. Reservations were already open ahead of the reopening, and the mall directory lists the restaurant as casual Italian-American dining with the phone number (703) 893-9400. For diners, that means the return is not just about one more restaurant opening in Fairfax County. It restores a familiar destination for baked pastas, large-format salads and the kind of meal that works best when the whole table is ordering together.

The move also gives Maggiano’s a more visible and more capacious home than its former spot at Tysons Galleria, where it had operated since the mid-1990s before closing in September 2025. The new location was built out over months in the east end of Tysons Corner Center, in a space that had previously held Brio and La Sandia. That footprint signals a clear bet on volume and group dining, the kind of setup that supports birthday dinners, office outings, holiday meals and family celebrations.

A preview of the new restaurant came during Tysons Corner Center’s Taste of Tysons event on May 16, where the forthcoming Maggiano’s location was among the highlights. The timing points to a summer restart aimed at catching heavier foot traffic at the mall and reestablishing the brand as a reliable anchor for pasta nights in Tysons.

Maggiano’s has been part of the region’s dining memory for nearly 30 years, and the chain itself dates back to its first restaurant, which opened in Chicago on November 11, 1991. That history matters in Tysons, where the return to a bigger room gives the brand room to lean into the same formula that kept it relevant for decades: generous portions, family-style service and a dining room made for passing plates.
