Romano's Macaroni Grill - Reno

Okay for Italian chain restaurants. The food was a average, interior was classic fine Italian but the service was outstanding. The food tasted fine but not great. The wife 's Mac and cheese was bland at best. The chicken marsala was good but the angel hair pasta was dry and tough. The starters of soup and salad were good. The rosemary bread was fantastic. I have always enjoyed the interior of the Macaroni Grill. It reminds me of something out of the movie 'The Godfather '. Our server was fantastic. No drink ran dry. No plate remained on the table. Requests were quickly taken care of. I was duly impressed. I did notice that the restaurant was almost empty of patrons. It was a Tuesday night but it was really empty.

Tonight was the first time I had every had dinner at Macaroni Grill and it was awesome! Although I showed up half an hour before close, Josue made it clear that I was welcome and insisted I enjoy my meal regardless of the time they close. I had the Chicken Marsala, a salad and Key Lime Cheesecake. All of it was absolutely amazing. Josue was extreme attentive to my table and I really enjoyed the experience. FIVE STARS. (Josue deserves a raise)!

The food was amazing ! Perfect atmosphere. It was all around a great experience. Our waitress was Tyla she was persistent and professional we really appreciated her helping us decide a dish for our first time. Thank you again ! We will be back !

Our experience exceeded all expectations. We chose to have Italian for lunch, and since Romano's was nearby, we decided to give it a try. We anticipated a meal that would be better than average, but we were pleasantly surprised by the excellence.

Avoid this place! We went as a family of four with two children under 5, along with three other families, and we had a reservation for 7:30. The waitress seated us.
