e reserved our requested table and were seated quickly. Atmosphere is very romantic and reminds us of a small Italian village when we lived in Tuscany. Our waiter James provided us with excellent service. Our appetizers and main course were delicious. Portions were decent size for us to split. Presentation was good ?. Prices our slightly above average. Parking is free in lot in front but limited. There is a small covered patio area outside when weather permits. Although we like the Italian style interior. Definitely ? recommend.
Greatly enjoyed dinner with one complaint: the wine list in general is too expensive. We appreciate wine with our dinner but for all our experience, we cannot tell the difference between a $40 bottle from an $80 bottle and most of your bottles are much more than $80. That is to say that it would be nice to have more moderately priced choices.

This is the first time at this restaurant and we were very pleased and enjoyed it very much. This was on a trip we took to Amarillo and this was a wonderful place from, the service we received and the food and the enjoyable atmosphere of feeling like you were in a Italian village eating. Everyone at this place was so friendly and kind. If we ever go back to Amarillo it will be our first place we go to eat. Highly recommended!

Always enjoy dining there. This was in the middle of the day, lunch time. This is one of our favorite special places. Always has been. service was off the charts great,...everything was great except for the food. It was mediocre at best . Under cooked vegetables, not so fresh bread and the salmon was way overcooked on one side and under on the other. This was the Friday after Valentine's Day, perhaps the chef just had an off day. Pretty sure that's what it was,...as usually everything is great. We will continue to go to Mac Joe's. Not put off by one less than stellar experience. I highly recommend them for a great dining experience.

I love this place. So do my kids. I'm not sure it's really a great place to take you get kids, but my 13, 15 & 11 year old love it. The service is by far the best of the best. The servers are great extremely knowledgeable & it makes for an interesting dining experience. I've had some of the “finer” things on the menu before, and they're all delicious, but last night ai had chicken spaghetti. It was absolutely amazing! 10/10 would def recommend.

Had a great 22 birthday here with my close friends. The place is definitely fancy and prices high but the food is definitely worth it all. The drinks are also really good here. The services was great.

The waiter is very good and knowledgeable at his job. The management team was friendly. The food was excellent. The noise level was good. If they didn't have items to help absorb the sound it would have been bad. Thing is, most restaurants if busy, can be noisy. However, we were still able to talk to each other. This was my wife and I's third time to dine at Macaroni Joe's and have enjoyed it every time. Our son and his fiancé joined us this time and they enjoyed the experience. We highly recommend Macaroni Joe's.

Good food , good service and reasonable prices! Conveniently located near the interstate . There is a wide menu selection and ample parking . I am from southern Illinois but this was my second trip in a year and thoroughly enjoyed the dinner. I am returning in February 2024 and will ask for have our party return for another great evening.

The food and the service were both great. The menu had shrunk substantially since our last visit which was a bit disappointing. The prices had also increased but I can't blame them for that.

Always delicious! Their blackened bayou tortellini is excellent. Steak and fish are also very good but on the pricier end. The mob queso is always a crowd pleaser, but the fried green tomatoes are the best!
Had Joe's cater our staff Christmas party. Loved the food and the service was amazing. We will definitely be using Joe's again for our Christmas party.

New addition the list of mando stops!! Barely found parking ... good sign. No bar seating available... another good sign, but thankfully they had a table w/ no wait, even though it was hopping w/ holiday celebrations. My waiter, Kyler, was incredibly and intuitive. I ordered an aperol spritz - pretty standard most places, and w/ the impressive wine list, I must say it was above standard. Kyler made a starter rec and turns out I had that at lunch earlier in the day. So I ordered the duck, because when there's duck, you flipping get the duck already! He mentioned risotto instead of succotash and couldn't have been more spot-on. Got the sauce on the side - not to overpower with sweetness. INCREDIBLE!!! Finished it off with a buttery port that was prepared with such attention to detail! This was a real treat and the couple behind me was so friendly. Very charming dinner out of town for work and I felt right at home even though it was my first time

Perfect 43rd anniversary meal: Nolan Ryan 5 ounce prime filet, wife had the sea bass, Kyla was gracious and fun, wine master helped us choose a mid-range bottle of wine that was perfect. Every bite was delicious and perfectly cooked. Subdued holiday decoration and fireplace added to the experience.

I've enjoyed Macaroni Joe's since it open. We had the 1/2 Charcuterie Board for an appetizer. I had the greek salad with my Mob Chicken and everything was delicious and a very nice presentation. The service was wonderful.

Not the usual experience at Macaroni Joe's. Good service, drinks, salads and side dishes but the steaks were dry, tasteless, over cooked and overlooked (I don't think Nolan Ryan would be pleased). Even the favorite chocolate "Demise" dessert was dry and hard, having been in the fridge too long. Will wait a while before we return to what has been a favorite establishment.
