Macaroni Grill??

[JennSaint]

I've never eaten at a Macaroni Grill is it any good? I see there is one in Lake Buena Vista.
Is it comparable to Bertucci's?
Thanks!

I've heard of Romano's Macaroni Grill, but I've never eaten there. On my last trip to Orlando, I was going to try Romano's, but after reading the following articles, just a few weeks before my trip, I decided against eating there.

For hotel and restaurant reviews, I always check them out at TripAdvisor.com.

Personally, for a chain, I think Macaroni Grill is pretty good.

We've eaten multiple times at the Macaroni Grill on 192 West. And, we loved it. It became one of our favorite places to go on the strip years ago.

We do too! The bread is awesome! A fresh baked loaf come to your table and they have the olive oil and "stuff" to dip your bread in. I could make a meal out of that alone.

Let's not forget you can draw all over your tablecloth!!!!! Atleast we can at ours.

Thanks so much for all your replies! I will put this down as a possiblity for our trip next month. We do have a gift card for Chilis that also included Macaroni Grill so I thought maybe we would use it while we are on vacation.

I'll agree with most everyone else, very good for a chain, head and shoulders above Olive Garden. Also does a good job of feeling like a "nice" restaurant while still remaining incredibly family-friendly. Much better than the Chilli's next door.

We love Macaroni Grill. I always get the Pasta Milano and DH gets the Penne Rustica. The bread is outstanding. In fact, we just ate at our local one last week. Try their dessert ravioli. It's such a great dessert. Vanilla ice cream and ravioli stuffed with chocolate and more chocolate drizzled on top. If you sign up for their free club online they'll give you a coupon for a free appetizer or dessert.

I've never been to any of them, what is good there? Is it about the same price as Chevy's?
Thanks

It's decent, I enjoy their cannelloni. Though, Maggiano's is 10x better than Macaroni Grill.

Great place to eat, we have one here locally and love it...
