Macaroni Joe's

The craving for delicious Italian food was met. Impeccable service and beautiful ambiance. We ordered the steak bites to start and continued with the surf and turf pasta and the blackened bayou pasta with meatballs. Cocktails were TOP NOTCH, had the seasonal menu, had to get a few martinis and mules. On top of it we had the best service from the waitress. Will be making this a regular evening out.

This was a great experience, this was my first time visiting this restaurant. My fiancé and I had Nicole as our server. She was on her first week and still did a great job of making sure we knew all of our options, and the available specials. I am a vegetarian so I don’t always have a ton of options but the confetti spaghetti was delicious and they did let me know modifications could be made for other items on the menu. The bread was so warm and perfect and our cocktails were delicious as well. All in all a 10/10 experience!

Came to Amarillo from Rogersville TN to watch my sister in law graduate with her masters and she got a reservation for 9 to Macaroni Joe’s… it was amazing! The bread was spot on and we ordered the kids Mac and cheese as an appetizer! So yummy. I had the lasagna and it was terrific! I live 18 hours away but if I ever come back this way I am making this a priority to stop again!! Thank you for making a special day even more special with great food!

Fantastic first experience of this honey hole. Excellent wide ranging menu light on the Italian influence expected. We can personally vouch for the Lasagna and the Chicken Picatta(not Pacatta). Both were some of the best to be had. I heard lots of praise for the fried green Tomatoes. I will say they looked better than any I've ever seen elsewhere. The servers at the bar were entertaining and very active. They were also a great help in making our choices for dinner. Nice atmosphere that apparently has been in existence for the thirty to forty years I recommend and will return.

Had an early supper here. Everything was fantastic. We did not have any drinks . Had a very good wine list. We had the tuna appetizer very good with lots of black pepper. I had a bayou pasta with shrimp and blackend steak. Very good steak was perfect medium . Pasta had a lot of Cajun seasoning. It's pretty salty but good. My wife had the seared scallops and risotto. OMG!!! I will definitely be back for that dish again. LOVED IT!!

My wife and I don't stop by Amarillo often but we had a opportunity to stop by for a quick appetizer while the restaurant was slow. (disclaimer: major place for wine but the wife and I aren't drinkers any longer. Selection looked decent at first glance) The servers were knowledable and absolutely a treasure to deal with. The ambiance of the whole place is a low-lit pleasure, from the candle lit tables to the Italian-streetcorner feel of the rooms. On to brass tacks, the food: I can only guess what the rest of the menu is like from the calamari but let me say.. I've had squid in all different cuts from at least 30 different restaurants throughout the states..This was the most tender calamari I've ever had. They use cutlets from the bell which is a much different experience to the normal calamari rings you get in Texas. The price was very reasonable for the quantity received. We decided to share an order of Cajun pasta, to which our server brought it to us in perfectly sized bowls for each of us. A delightfully creamy, slightly spicy, tomato-base pasta with grilled shrimp. Delicious. I short, this place is a dream. Absolutely recommend and will be back.

My wife picked this restaurant for dinner before going to the symphony. I can say that she has fantastic taste! I mean just look at the pictures. The atmosphere and decor were amazing. You really feel like you're at an outdoor Italian Cafe. And the service was perfect. Our waiter was very attentive, polite, and well informed. I had the bone-in pork chop, with vanilla creme brulee for dessert. I had no idea that it was really TWO pork chops (look at the picture!). The sauce was amazing and the sear on the meat was unbelievable! The dessert was excellent, too. Perfectly crusted creme brulee with NO taste of egg in the custard. My wife has the blackened bayou with shrimp plus the 4 oz. blackened steak, with bread pudding with bourbon vanilla caramel sauce for dessert. The spicy Cajun flavor was great - with a very noticeable kick (as it should have). Just simply DELICIOUS! And the dessert.... just WOW! (Yes I had some of hers, too.) It really was too die for! We will definitely be back!

The food is always amazing and the service is top tier! My husband took me out for my 30th birthday and we had the best experience! Josh took such good care of us and was big part of the positive experience! Get the fried green tomatoes and thank me later!!!
