This was a great experience, this was my first time visiting this restaurant. My fiancé and I had Nicole as our server. She was on her first week and still did a great job of making sure we knew all of our options, and the available specials. I am a vegetarian so I don’t always have a ton of options but the confetti spaghetti was delicious and they did let me know modifications could be made for other items on the menu. The bread was so warm and perfect and our cocktails were delicious as well. All in all a 10/10 experience!

While everything was excellent it took almost an hour to get our main course to us, and all it was was the chicken spaghetti and the Mob chicken. The manager did compensate us so that was good. Overall I would say we would return.

Loved the entire experience. We went for our anniversary and loved it! The food and service was incredible! The manager checked on us throughout the night. Our server was so sweet and down to earth!

3 of us girls celebrated women's time. We had the best experience. One lady had never been there, she loved it and felt very special. Another lady had only had drinks in the bar. She had a marvelous time. I made the reservations, I've been there many times. My husband who passed in January 2025 used to take me for it anniversary. It's also where I said YES to the marriage in 2007. I enjoyed every minute of all of it off course. But missed my husband presence and laughter.

The craving for delicious Italian food was met. Impeccable service and beautiful ambiance. We ordered the steak bites to start and continued with the surf and turf pasta and the blackened bayou pasta with meatballs. Cocktails were TOP NOTCH, had the seasonal menu, had to get a few martinis and mules. On top of it we had the best service from the waitress. Will be making this a regular evening out.

Update: Manager personally contacted me to apologize and make it right. We certainly appreciate the professionalism in owning the mistakes amd working to correct them. We will give it another visit soon.
Very very disappointing visit and the only reason it got 2 stars was the food itself was very good. We had reservations for 7:30 and showed up at 7:20 and checked in and was told they were running a little behind might be 10 minutes before they could seat us. At 7:50 the manager came to us and said he was cleaning a table for us and would be another 2 or 3 minutes and disappeared. The hosteess mentioned they had other reservations that showed up late and they seated them which caused everyone else to be pushed... really why have reservations. It was another 15 minutes and not until I told the hostess I didn't like being lied to before we finally got seated. The reservation asked if special occasion and I filled in Anniversary. Never once did anyone mention that or even ask if there was a occasion. The waitress did her best but somehow we ordered drinks and about 7 minutes later we ordered our food. Another 10 minutes and our salad appeared but drinks took another almost 7 minutes. The manager walked by our table 4 times never once stopped to apologize or even ask how the food was, nothing after having talked to us in the lobby. They never told the waitress of our wait and the only apology we ever got was the hostess. Needless to say we will have to find another place to celebrate special occasions as Macaroni Joe's, who wants to be considered an elegant higher end place, doesn't know how to make that happen.

We went for our anniversary, expecting the best. But for the price the experience wasn't the best. My pasta was dry, my wife's quail was undercooked, her risotto was undercooked and broccollini wasn't seasoned. Our waitress was less then enthusiastic.
The restaurant is so beautiful. All the details & ambiance make it so naturally romantic. We got the blackened chicken & the chicken piccata. Both could have been better but weren't bad. The serving sizes of meat were maybe half a breast. The crème brûlée for dessert was amazing!

Mac Joes never fails. They have the best food, and to top it off we had the best server (Audrey) the sweetest and a plus when she had an answer to all our questions.

Great food. Some dishes are a little pricey, but they are worth it. Great ambiance, perfect for a family meal or a romantic dinner. Save room for dessert, they were amazing.

Came to Amarillo from Rogersville TN to watch my sister in law graduate with her masters and she got a reservation for 9 to Macaroni Joe’s… it was amazing! The bread was spot on and we ordered the kids Mac and cheese as an appetizer! So yummy. I had the lasagna and it was terrific! I live 18 hours away but if I ever come back this way I am making this a priority to stop again!! Thank you for making a special day even more special with great food!
