What People Are Saying About Romano's Macaroni Grill
Featured Review

In Short – A boisterous, all-ages crowd of pasta lovers pack this energetic Italian spot, where chefs clad in white hats and red scarves keep diners wide-eyed by showing their moves in the busy open kitchen. The menu boasts family-sized portions of hearty traditional fare, from antipasti, chicken and pasta dishes to seafood, steak and wood-fired pizzas. Signature plates include grilled pork chops, lobster ravioli, and penne rustica with shrimp, grilled chicken and smoked prosciutto in cream sauce.
Editor's Tips
- What to Drink:
- Each table is supplied with a huge jug of Macaroni Grill's "house" wine. You tell your server how much your table had to drink, and he or she charges accordingly.
- The Extras:
- The little ones will feel right at home here: A kids menu offers corn dogs, grilled cheese and chicken fingers, and there are crayons on the tables for doodling on the paper tablecloths.

I'd rather eat at a crowded bus station

...wait I may just have. That's the way I felt eating here. The atmosphere is not just busy it's annoying. Service was horrible. First it took nearly two hours to get in (I am not exagerating) after they claimed about an hour wait. Then once we got seated I felt I had to dodge every waiter that went by and I was sitting down. After another wait they brought out the food for our 4 children (still no food for myself or my wife). Only after our children had FINISHED their food, and they are not fast eaters, did they say our food was "just about up". I can't speak to how good the food was 'cause I took it home and ate it cold. I have never, and will never, go back! The Olive Garden gets my business now!
- Pros: hhhmmmmm.., still thinking
- Cons: , Bad Service

Best EVER!!!

Macaroni Grill is the best Italian restaurant. The food is delish and more authentic than other restaurants. It's affordable and a great atmosphere. Olive Garden does not even compare to Macaroni Grill. Macaroni Grill should at least be #2.
- Pros: Great food, Inexpensive, Fun atmosphere
- Cons: A little Americanized

Crowded & Loud
by swe at Citysearch
Another fast-food Italian restaurant. Good for large work groups. Gets loud at lunch-time. Average food. Some days are better than others. Same menu all the time.
