Macaroni Joe's

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.

Just enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Macaroni Joe's! One of the truly special restaurants in Amarillo. Their atmosphere is phenomenal, the food is always delicious, and the wait staff are the best. They know how to make dining out a memorable, fun and special experience. Very consistent and always enjoyable!

Loved trying a new place. Macaroni Joe's food and atmosphere was great. I had the chicken spagetti (added olives) and my boyfriend had the red salmon. We also got the steak taco appetizer. Everything was so great!!! I would highly recommend

Never heard of this place, then we were given a gift card so we decided to try it out! But was also unaware you had to have Reservations!!! But we were able to get seats in the bar area!! The waitress was very friendly and helpful making suggestions from the menu from appetizers to entrees!!! Food was excellent, service was amazing. The only thing I can say negatively was prices were high for what we ate. Needless to say if we go back to Amarillo I would definitely eat there again. Just make sure to get reservations next time!!!

A wonderful birthday dinner experience! Brandi was our server, she was charming, attentive, and made the experience just that much better! She deserves the recognition! The food was top notch and the atmosphere was unique and memorable! If we ever find ourselves in Amarillo again, Macaroni Joes will be at the top of the list of restaurants to go to! Keep up the great work, you made my birthday dinner an awesome one!

I was pleasantly surprised at how amazing this establishment is. Food was the best food I’ve had. And the service was excellent. The atmosphere felt like we were in Italy, love how dimly lit the place was. I will definitely be back! Gage was our waiter and he was so kind and professional, never let our drinks run out.

This has become one of my wife and I's favorite date night spots. We recommend the appetizer Nachos Neapolitan. It is a lot of food and we often start with it as an appetizer. We then share a pasta dish. We always leave stuffed. The bread that they serve as dinner is amazing and the atmosphere is the best in town!

Great place for a special meal. Wonderful treat for anyone that likes Italian food. Had never tried their mead drink, but I really enjoyed a bottle of Half-Blood Orc, made in home town Amarillo.
