“FRAUD ALERT”

My wife ordered the sea bass ($24) with an extra side of spinach ($2). She received a salmon ($17). We were compensated with a desert ($6). I noticed when the check was delivered the sea bass was still on the ticket and the spinach was now $3. Net: $8 on favor of the restaurant (or $2 if you consider the... More

“Don't be Fooled by the Name”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 2, 2013

Based on Trip Advisor reviews, we decided to try Macaroni Joes when we ended up spending a night in Amarillo. Given the name, I envisioned a chain restaurant with pedestrian food. We were surprised to find a really good Italian restaurant in a suburban mall setting. And as luck would have it, it happened to be Wednesday, so we took... More

“Nice atmosphere and great service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 19, 2013

Despite being in a modern business/restaurant area, this restaurant has a nice internal atmosphere. It has been modelled on an Italian village and it works well. Service was excellent throughout the meal. The wine list was very good and the prices were reasonable ... we didn't time it to be there for 'wine Wednesday' unfortunately! The crab cakes that we...

“UPDATE - Wine Wednesdays”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 26, 2013

We gave this place a good review in December, but this time we went back on a Wednesday night and got a surprise. It seems that Wednesday is the half-price wine night (for full bottles less than $100). The food was excellent and the kitchen still ready to make minor changes to the entree if you wanted some little addition... More

we were traveling through Amarillo to Denver for a family obligation. After asking friends and checking Trip Advisor, we settled on Macaroni Joes. It was a little Tuscany in the Panhandle - what a wonderful place. The decor was lovely, the staff was so friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious.
