Schaumburg Restaurant Guide

The Macoroni Grill overall was a very good dinning
experience. The one thing that I was most impressed with was the service. From the stsrt when we were seated, we were very taken care of
by our waitress Marry, she even wrote her name on the paper table cloth, that she told us we could doodle on it two, and so we did. They started us off with their signiture bread and olive oil treatmant. that was good but probably the Chef could of had a better herb choice for the bread.
To start off we ordered the calamari,it was very good, satisfying our hunger. they took a plain looking fried food by presenting it on a very colorful plate with choppped parsley and more than enough lemmmons. Marry offered us there house cianti, it was just, ok but nothing special. So we of course did not order it. We automaatically ordered "lemmon" water. Off the very long, mouth watering non-alcoholic menu we tried the blackberry mint tea it was the best it even had a "lemmon" in it. Also we ordered an absolute martini with a blue cheese stuffed olive. it was good but the only drawback was that it was slightly over priced. For our wine we ordered the Pinot Noir Mirassou, it was good; alot better than the house. We then studied the elaborate and verry sescriptive menu and we thought about the create your pasta; so we asked our very friendly waitress if we could take a look at the pasta list. Keep in mind it is now about 10:45 and the kitchen closes at 11:00. So we have to get our order in now. So two of us decide to get the create your own pasta and the other gets the mushroom ravioli. One of us marks that they want linguine with the condement of garlic olive oil and topped off with an assortment of seafood and roasted red peppers, artichokes, and red onions. I got the Spaghetti Bolognese with fresh buffalo mozzerella, spinach,roasted red peppers and pine nuts. Overall the pasta's were verry rich and satisfying; how they should be, although the past could have been cooked a little less. By that time, we were very full. The waitress asked us if we wanted desert. In conclusion, we felt as if we were at home. I highly recommed this restaurant.
