Romano's Macaroni Grill

The food was great, the staff was knowledgeable about what food was gluten free (all penne). They were very accommodating. The gluten free pasta serving size is 1/4 the size of the normal pasta serving size for the same price.

You should fine as long as they have gluten free pasta. I went today and they were out and it really limited my options. What I was served would have barely passed for a kids sized entree, but to their credit when I complained they did make it right. But I have learned Macaroni Grill doesn't work for me and I won't be back.

The food was excellent and the gluten free penne was great... They are able to add it to any dish. The service was very slow but other than that an excellent experience.

The three of us ordered gf pasta. My celiac daughter ordered alfredo and my husband and I ordered pomodoro sauce. My husband and I received our meal within a reasonable amount of time. We were told my daughters meal would be out shortly. Long story short, it took about 45 additional minutes for her to receive her meal. I guess they were training the line cooks how to cook gf pasta and kept messing up. Finally the head chef prepared her dinner. This was totally unacceptable to keep an 11 year old waiting for her dinner to train employees. They did remove the cost of the meal from our bill but it ruined our last night in Harrisburg.

Celiac friendly?

No

I would give the "choose-your-own-pasta" a great rating, but since there are no other options except the choose-your-own pasta for a gluten-free vegan like myself, I only gave three stars.

The build your own pasta was perfect for me since I have other food allergies in addition to Celiac's. The service was great although I had to send my pasta back to cook a bit more. They were very accommodating. I would definitely go back.

Terrible service and very few GF options. I will not return.

Unfortunately they were out of gluten free pasta and other options are very limited especially for a picky eater who just wanted Mac and cheese.

Currently they do not have GF pasta options. However staff were knowledgeable about GF & cross contamination. The caesar salad w/out croutons, with chicken or shrimp is very good. Grilled salmon with side of spinach instead or orzo a good option as well. The service was excellent.

As of 7/21/22, they did not have gluten free pasta as an option. Although the macaroni grill website appears to show gluten free pasta available, this location said they didn’t have any and offered no explanation.

Their menu has zero gluten free substitutes/options. I asked our server for gluten free options and she ended up bringing me an allergy menu after we asked multiple times. When I ordered my dish she just seemed very bothered by the fact that I had an allergy and she had to deal with it. Granted I know it’s a pasta establishment but still. I ended up ordering the create your own pasta with the pomodorino sauce, their gluten free pasta, and some chicken and spinach. It was pretty good, it’s just the service and attitude that was subpar.
