Romano's Macaroni Grill
With friends. With Family. We feast. Welcome to the house that generosity built.
Since 1988, Macaroni Grill has defined the polished-casual Italian segment. We operate as a dedicated stand-alone entity with a singular focus on quality ingredients, scratch-made cooking, and classic Italian meals delivered to our guests at their convenience. By blending the charm of an Italian family kitchen with professional operational systems, we create a full-sensory experience that drives high guest loyalty and repeat visits.

TWISTED MAC
A fast, fun & fresh twist on everyone's favorite classic comfort food.
Born from the success of our virtual kitchens, Twisted Mac is our high-efficiency QSR vehicle designed for the modern diner. We've combined the quality of our legacy Italian recipes with a small-footprint, kiosk-driven model. It's the perfect opportunity for operators looking for a low-entry-cost brand that appeals to a wide demographic-from lunch crowds to late-night diners.
The QSR Advantage
- Low Entry Cost: Small footprints (800 - 1,600 sq. ft.) and inexpensive build-outs for maximum ROI.
- High Efficiency: Kiosk-driven ordering and simplified prep reduce the need for high-skill, high-cost labor.
- Real Estate Versatility: Perfectly suited for "non-traditional" spaces like airports, food courts, and university campuses.
- Broad Appeal A menu that transcends demographics, fulfilling needs for lunch, dinner, and late-night cravings.
