Editorial Review for Romano's Macaroni Grill – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
A boisterous, all-ages crowd of pasta lovers pack this energetic Italian spot, where chefs clad in white hats and red scarves keep diners wide-eyed by showing their moves in the busy open kitchen. The menu boasts family-sized portions of hearty traditional fare, from antipasti, chicken and pasta dishes to seafood, steak and wood-fired pizzas. Signature plates include grilled pork chops, lobster ravioli, and penne rustica with shrimp, grilled chicken and smoked prosciutto in cream sauce.

This is one of my favorites. So things go wrong once in a while. So what. People are human. I just love the Chicken Portabello and the salads. We went recently for my granddaughter's birthday (9th) and everyone sang to her. Sometimes the drinks arriving from the bar are slow but remember the server has to wait for the bartender and sometimes there is only one. Servers work hard and deserve your patience and your tip. Don't be so fast to pass judgement.
Pros: Kid friendly - good food - service - tasty drinks - chocolate cake AAAA
Cons: Noisy - tables too close together

I used to like the restaurant but my last two visits turned me off and I don't plan on returning. The food is OK but the service is terrible. First visit for my daughters birthday the waiter just plopped the birthday cake on the table and walked away, very disappointing to my young daughter after there were several other birthday groups there that got the full staff birthday greeting. Second visit the waitress was inattentive, slow to take the order and sat down to chat with some customers/friends at a nearby table while we waited... and waited for the check.. Only when we ask her for the check did she finally bring it over. This was no kid either, it was a waitress in her 50's. For my money I'd rather go to Biaggi's in Cary.
Pros: Prices are OK
Cons: Lousy Service
