At Romano's Macaroni Grill, nestled within the Orlando Air Traffic Control Tower, diners can expect a delightful taste of Italy, even while on the go. This Italian eatery stands out for its impressive menu offerings and warm ambiance. Customers rave about the Eggplant Parmesan, which Rose Hughes declared to be the best meal she's had in ages, lauding its generous portion and flawless preparation. The restaurant's selection of artisan pizzas, including the Margherita with fresh mozzarella and ripe tomatoes, delights those craving classic flavors. The atmosphere is described as inviting, with attentive staff like Gabriela and Nylia being particularly memorable for their professionalism and friendliness. While some guests noted a reduced menu compared to online options—something to consider if you're hoping for variety—the quality remains consistently high, with patrons enjoying dishes like Chicken Parmesan and Fettuccine Alfredo. Romano's Macaroni Grill balances a casual yet refined dining experience, ideal for travelers seeking a sit-down meal away from typical airport fare. With convenient options for on-the-go dining and a commendable selection of Italian classics, it's a standout choice for anyone passing through Orlando. Cheers to a superb dining experience that transcends the usual airport offerings!

This is the best meal I've had in a while. The eggplant parmesan was a huge portion and cooked perfectly. Thank you for an absolutely delicious meal that I wasn't expecting for an airport dining experience. Staff also very professional and caring.

Busy airport. Only waited a moment before seated. By friendly waitress Espansia and she was our server. Did take long and served warm bread and olive oil dipping sauce. And food was delicious. Only disappointed was the menu on the internet wasn't the one available. Smaller menu now and less options. But we enjoyed the Shrimp Scampi and Chicken Parmesan. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you are looking for a sit down restaurant and not the food court food. Although they did offer Romano's Macaroni Grill on the go service also, separate take out section.

Since we had a 3 hour layover. We decided to grab dinner here instead of fast food. Our server was great, plus the airport wasn’t crowded at all. We had fettuccine alfredo and chicken parm. Our meals were pretty good. The entertainment was amazing (drunk lady next to us) . She was funny All in all, made the time go by fast and our bellies were full

Went before to upscale McCoy’s Restaurant and had to leave due to slowness and attitude. Came here and the Hostess, Gabriela is a superstar that also cleans tables, and the Server Nylia is a sweetheart that follows up on you; gets you drinks ASAP and makes sure your food order goes through (which you can Order on your phone!). Sorrento Lemonade is refreshing and well-balanced. Food was good (Mushrooms Raviolis, Margherita Pizza and Caesar Salad. Ordered and paid on my phone with extraordinarily friendly efficient service. Cheers!

OH MAN! this is the best restaurant and bar I've been in at an airport EVER. Wilnez the bartender here, made us feel sooo welcome with her energetic spirit. You can really tell she enjoys her job! I highly recommend this place. Especially if she is working. 5 stars aren't enough. Thanks, Wilnez, for making our night extra special :) P.s the drinks are DELISH!!! Kevin & Melissa Ontario, Canada

We had Margherita, Rosa’s Signature Caesar and Shrimp Portofino. Everything was delicious. You don’t really expect too much from airport locations but it was better than I thought.

A very nice spot for airport bar and dining. It has a menu that is not too overwhelming but that you are sure to find something you like. It is pretty centrally located in the airport. There was up to a 45-minute wait for food, but the hostest was up front about that before seating. They have a wide variety of adult beverages, but there are at least some limitations. The food is as described, filling and delicious.
