Gala Parking and Transportation Options

Maggiano’s is located at 5333 Wisconsin Avenue, NW, right on the border where Chevy Chase ends and Washington, DC begins. Consider the following travel options:

If traveling in your own car, there is a Colonial Parking garage under the restaurant. There are two garage entrances:

  1. Enter the “Chevy Chase Pavilion” Colonial Parking Garage using the entrance located on Military Road between Western Avenue (off of Wisconsin Avenue) and 43rd St. NW. At the bottom of the entrance ramp, turn left, and follow signs to Maggiano’s. The elevator there will take you up to the restaurant.
  2. Enter the “Chevy Chase Pavilion” Colonial Parking garage on Wisconsin Avenue, to the left of the Maggiano’s entrance. After going through the garage gate, continue straight and follow signs to “Friendship Center”. Once in the Friendship Center side of the garage, there will be a sign on the elevator vestibule for Maggiano’s.

Upon leaving Maggianos, be sure to validate your parking ticket at the host stand, which will provide discounted parking for the first 4 hours for $4, and then an additional 1-2 hours will be $5-$7. The garage is staffed until 11:00 pm, but is open 24 hours.

There is limited street parking.

If you take Metro: Maggiano’s is located at the Friendship Heights metro stop on the Red Line. Once off the metro, take the Military Road exit.
