Macaroni Grill

I got sick while eating at Romano's and definately would not recommend this place to anyone - they refused to help pay for my emergency room visit, and were very rude when I asked for help in paying my $1400.00 doctor and hospital bills.\t\nThey denied any wrong doing e...ven though I got sick while still sitting at the table after consuming their food.\t\nIt was the worst food experience I've had in my entire life - STAY AWAY FROM ROMANO'S - IT'S BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH.

Normally, my wife and I find Romano's Macaroni Grill a pleasant place to eat. This past Thursday we began a night out there and WOW!; what a damper that was. First, a very poor server who was visibly disturbed that we wouldn't order wine (non-drinkers), didn't come ba...ck to add spices to the olive oil for bread (the bread was great) and then the food came at a tepid temperature and obvioously, the cook (couldn't have been a chef) had absoluytely forgotten every spice he/she should have placed in the sauce. Gordon Ramsay would have had a fit at the quality of this food, plain and simple. Us, we just paid our bill and got the heck out of dodge. NOT recommended unless your papate needs some toning down.

I have gone at busy times and gotten great service with good recomendations...have loved thier pasta and salmon. However... went over for lunch, early afternoon- when the place was almost bare and got cruddy service from all except the bar tender who was the only guy t...o do a good job -serving me water, but still, he surprised me by going out of his way to make sure I was comfy, never had to ask for that agua. The annoying waitress and waiter ingnored me when I walked in until the chef back yonder shouted them over and seemingly had nothing better to do at work than to sit there and chat two feet away from me. My favorite eggplant parm arrived to my expectant taste buds with a rubbery, rather than tender texture, complete with big ole stems of basil that had the mouth feel of noxious weeds caught in a boat propeller. Angel hair was the only thing that didn't disapoint. Hubby got spaghetti that smelled like pit sweat. What happened to my ol' reliable? Read More

One of the grossest things that can happen is finding HAIR in your food....not only was there hair in the food, but it was BAKED into the bread they serve before they bring the entree out. It was utterly disgusting and made me lose my appetite. They did not even apoligi...ze, all they said after I informed them of the baked in hair...was ""oh, we will get you some more bread"" - at least a SORRY would suffice in some way...I will not be eating there again because of that reason...

The macaroni grill is a great place to take family or friends for a big old fashioned Italian dinner. It's lively atmosphere and wine at the table is really fun. The food is very good and moderately priced. The picatta is especially good...

This is one of the few good Italian resturants in the Boise area. I have always had good service, my mother is in a electric cart and they have always been accommodating without any hesitation. The bread is sooo goood. I have never had a bad meal here. And I always end up taking some home because the potions are large.
