The first Romano’s Macaroni Grill (usually just called “Macaroni Grill”) opened in Texas in 1988, and it would only be a year before it was franchised and began to open new locations. The headquarters for this family-friendly, Italian-themed American casual dining restaurant are still in Texas, but you can stop in at any of more than 200 Macaroni Grill locations around the world and expect the same delicious food and friendly service.
Most customers find that Macaroni Grill menu prices are very affordable, and it’s no problem to begin any meal with a bottle of wine for the adults to share while everyone takes their time looking over all of the amazing selections on the menu.
If you’re looking for something to whet your appetite while you wait on lunch or dinner, the antipasti menu is full of great choices. Among them, you’ll find mac and cheese bites with a delicious truffle dip, goat cheese peppadew peppers, zucchini fritti, bruschetta, and other delectable selections.
For your main course, you can make your choice based on what kind of meat you’d like, whether you’d prefer pasta, a few classic Italian selections, or pizza. Mom’s Ricotta Meatballs & Spaghetti is one of the most popular dishes on the menu and is perfect for anyone who wants a hearty, Italian-inspired dinner. Of course, if you’re in the mood for pasta, you might also consider a few other selections from the Macaroni Grill menu, including the mushroom ravioli, penne rustica, pasta di mare, or the lobster ravioli. For red meat lovers, the Calabrese steak is an excellent choice, as well.
