About Romano's Macaroni Grill

Romano's Macaroni Grill offers a range of dining experiences, from large group gatherings to family-style feasts. The restaurant provides attentive service, though some order mistakes can occur. While the food is described as basic and lacking in depth of flavor, the menu does cater to dietary restrictions, including dairy-free options. The "create your own" pasta dish and roasted Brussels sprouts received mixed reviews. Conversely, the steak and mashed potatoes, as well as the chicken, shrimp, asparagus, and spinach fettuccine, were praised as delicious. The "Feast for Five" package offers a convenient and satisfying family-style meal option.

The restaurant has a charming atmosphere and good friendly service. The Pomodoro Torrtelacci was very tasty and marked as heart healthy, and the wine pours were generous. The waitress Betty has been outstanding, with her ability to be enthusiastic and welcoming, which is a refreshing attribute not seen in most restaurants. The restaurant also offers a chicken marsala dish and a Woodford reserve select Manhattan cocktail for an affordable price.

However, some customers have noticed a decline in the food taste and quality, and one person in a group received the wrong order, which was then served with something at the bottom of the dish.

Despite these issues, the restaurant is praised for its great environment, affordability, and the excellent sidecar team, including Marciel, Quinn, Chris, Stacy, Ron, Trey, Nic, and Soph, who are all highly recommended.
