Romano’s Macaroni Grill®
A Fresh Translation of ItalianSM
Of all the endearing
traditions and delicious
details that make
Romano’s Macaroni
Grill unique, our
distinctively delectable
cuisine is what people love most.
Macaroni Grill chefs are culinary artists who
masterfully blend the old-world flavors of Italy with modern
inspiration, giving guests the quality and variety they crave.
And in fiscal year 2007, we continued our tradition of food
and beverage innovation with the introduction of such
items as Sizzling Shrimp Scampi and Seafood Linguine. We
also made two of our terrific “better for you” entrees –
Simple Salmon and Pollo Magro – even more irresistible
with a fresh complement of grilled tender-crisp asparagus
and broccoli. And we raised a glass to a favorite Macaroni
Grill tradition, house wine on the honor system, with a
nationwide toast to celebrate our 100-millionth glass.
Over the past year, we’ve continued to grow and
strengthen our business in a number of ways. We opened
a total of four corporate-owned and six franchised
restaurants, including our first Macaroni Grill in the
Middle East. We also added catering services to 76 existing
restaurants, giving our guests in these markets the
flexibility to enjoy Macaroni Grill at family gatherings,
business meetings, receptions, and other occasions. And
we signed a development agreement with Pasta Ventures
to develop three new restaurants in South Texas over the
next three years.
In addition, we’ve embraced new tools to provide
the highest level of quality and hospitality, including
new kitchen display systems that help us expedite
orders and ensure that every dish is served at just the
right temperature.
Each Macaroni Grill has the warmth and personality
of a neighborhood restaurant, along with the consistency
and familiarity of a trusted chain. And our latest design
reflects a return to the simple pleasures that our guests
love so well – where fresh gladiolus take center stage,
rustic stone walls ring
with the lingering notes
of an aria, and the spirit
and romance of Italy
envelop you.
