Description & Atmosphere
The Macaroni Grill is located at Hillsdale Mall, next to Old Navy and The Good Guys. Come with an appetite because their portions are large. And come early because it gets very crowded.

One of the first things you notice as you enter the big, open dining room is the festive Italian music. At night, strolling opera singers perform. The dining area has high ceilings with open beams, lights strung overhead and dramatic floral displays. Tables are covered with crisp white tablecloths, butcher paper and crayons. Cheerful atmosphere.

Food
Enjoy fresh salads, delicious pastas and pizzas, and other Italian specialties. If ordering wine, you're on the honor system. Large jugs of Chianti are served with glass water tumblers and you just help yourself.
