Romano's Macaroni Grill

I went to this place for lunch this past weekend. I was pleasantly surprised to find a very likeable restaurant. I found the ambiance of this place to be very nice and the dim lighting and hard wood furniture really made the place quaint and sophisticated. The food here was great. The fresh baked bread they bring out to your table is crispy, flaky, and really amazing. For appetizers, we tried their artichoke and shrimp dip. The dip was great but I thought the crunchy breadsticks that came with it were a bit too salty. For the main course, I had their seafood pasta (a great blend of seafood and pasta in a garlic butter sauce) and it was amazing. Their portions are big and I had more than half let to take home. Service here was excellent and the food was great. I will definitely return here again! more

So no Ray Ramono here. But yes, they did have lots of macaroni. In my opinon, the food was a bit overpriced. But if you're looking for a nice, family-friendly restaurant, this is a good place. They have a menu that features primarily pasta and there are a lot of options for everyone. The waiters and waitresses are nice and the atmosphere is very pleasant. Though the meals are a bit expensive, the portions are pretty big and you will probably be taking left overs home with you. more

Well, if so, then I'm THERE! Hey, I thought after he quit Everybody Loves Raymond that he opened a mac and cheese place in my neighborhood (I have a vivid imagination). Anyway, I was surprised to find: A) No Ray, and B) No mac and cheese. It's more of a "la dee da" type Italian restaurant. It's lovely inside, with a nice dining area and a bar. The food was good, not excellent, but good. I liked the ambience more than the food, but I would go back again more

I don't believe Ray has anything to do with this place, I don't believe everybody loves him either. :) Not everbody is gonna love this restaurant either. There is alot to like about the food however. The food is very good, I like the decor and atmosphere also. It's not expensive but nor is it cheap to dine here. This location attracks crowds of all ages. The Crown Theater is next door and the area has a steadily growing population. Also the theater is next to a huge strip mall. A very popular new chain. more
