The food was unbelievable! it had so much flavor and the portion size was so big I definitely needed a box! there was no way I was letting any of this food go to waste! they actually had opera singers...

This restaurant was disappointing because of the service and the meals. My Mom and I both ordered the ravioli in a cream sauce. When the dish came it was not doused in cream sauce, but rather the ravioli were swimming in white soup. I usually do not send back food, but here we were with two dishes that were totally... More

We ate outside and it has a wonderful atmosphere. The food was very good as was the service. If it is a little chilly at night, they have a huge fireplace outside to sit around.

We have visited this chain in other cities and were very satisfied. This restaurant does not measure up. The service is marginal. The food was just OK. They told us when we were seated that there is a new menu. We were disappointed with the selections. We probably will not visit this restaurant again.

When we entered the staff were friendly. But that's as far as the good experience went. Our food was delivered in a reasonable amount of time but was completely lacking in flavor. And I'm not just talking about the entree. Worst Bruschetta I've ever had! Will not be returning here.

This chain restaurant has slid down hill quite a bit since my first trip here some 15 years ago. Forget good service because it just doesn't exist. Food is ok but constant menu changes are for the worse not an improvement. Honestly don't know why I keep giving them another chance because its just one disappointment after another. This time...

Another restuarant chain I have not eaten at before. This particular one in Fort Myers was quite empty on the day I visited. However our waitress was attentive and friendly. My friend ordered the chicken scallopini which did look greasy but she assured me it was very tasty. I ordered a half turkey sandwich with a house salad which was... More

I come from the Bristol, RI/Boston North End Italian cooking area. My recipe for sauce comes from a grandmother in Sicili. I love real Italian cooking. A real Italian Restaurant is usually run by an Italian; the Chef is Italian, and in most cases, the wait staff is Itallian. In some cases, they are family run. These are the best.... More

Our party of four all had different dishes and all were pretty standard American-style Italian food. Portions were larger than any of us could eat. Loaves of bread were served warm, a nice touch, and the olive oil was good. Service was slow.

We have eaten in many Macaroni Grills over the years. They have changed their recipes and I don't think it's for the best. They should have kept the old version of the pasta with shrimp and lots of pesto sauce and give you a choice of a healthier/lighter version. The bread with olive oil is still good, but all in...
