The food was ok, but the salmon was overcooked and the pizza sauce needed a little more flavor. All in all an ok experience.

A great place for an airport is in Terminal 3 gate K2. One of the few "real restaurants" in the area we order a few options but Chicken Masala was the best ask for the desserts menu as well

食物不錯,但用餐完,在座位上使用電腦等候飛機,服務生會一直來詢問是否還需要點額外的餐點...

Service was good. Food was served fast and hot. But, no bread. An Italian restaurant with no bread? Preposterous. Please bring back some sort of bread to go along with the meal. Buon apetit

I’ve never been to a stand-alone Macaroni Grill, only this sad airport version. Hopefully the corporate fat-cats understand that this airport restaurant represents their entire chain, so no excuses for being an “airport restaurant” here. I’ve made the mistake of spending money on this over-priced “Italian” restaurant before and I'm done. Apparently, my time between O’Hare visits is too long and I forget all the reasons for promising never to return. This review is as much a means of committing this to memory as it is a warning to other travelers. Reading the Macaroni Grill main website, a great deal of emphasis is put on classic imported ingredients at use. “Welcome to Macaroni Grill. Join us tonight for classic Italian dishes made with imported Italian ingredients.” I wouldn’t mind the higher-than-average airport price tag for a single entrée (absolutely no other items are included at $23 pre-tip and tax) if only the boast of authentic ingredients seemed true, but when I asked for real parmesan cheese to top my small bowl of $23 Penne Rustica, the long-time server brusquely picked up the ramekin of tiny dehydrated parmesan packets from the center of the table, placed it four inches closer to me, then jabbed his finger at into it stating, “This is your parmesan.” I would have paid any price for some fresh parmesan to cut through the ridiculous amount of unadvertised red pepper flakes in the meal. From my first bite, I recall the chicken and shrimp being fairly flavorful while not really being able to taste any rosemary, but three bites in and I couldn’t taste anything. It was just a small bowl of burning. I could have been eating the mushroom ravioli or the butternut tortellacci and I wouldn’t have been able to discern it. I rechecked the menu and indeed, there’s no mention of any pepper at all or an indication that it's a 'spicy hot' meal, so it must be a chef’s choice? I do love it when a cook’s personal indifference to spice obviously means that everyone else loves things so spicy you need an entire pitcher of water to get through a meal. So we have brusque service, expensively small entrees that include nothing else, and questionable on the importation of any actual ingredients, but just as my meal arrived, I remembered the other reason this restaurant had made me grumpy in the past: all the servers collect at the center register area a few feet away from the customers where the male servers treat the female servers very disrespectfully. If you’re lucky, you’ll get the full show though where the male servers holler at the female servers’ alleged incompetence from the bar or the open kitchen on the opposite side of the small dining area. If you don’t mind spending more than you need, you’re okay with mono-flavored spicy food, an obvious lack of any truly Italian ingredients, and you’re skilled at tuning out server drama, this is your place; however, if you’re looking for a competitively priced meal that includes a few sides set in pleasant and professional surrounding, maybe try one of the many other O’Hare restaurant choices.

Enjoyed a short lunch stop today at Macaroni Grill b4 my flight. Staff are welcoming. My server was very attentive. On the pricy side, bit expected at an airport I guess. 37.00 for a salad with grilled salmon and lemonade. Salmon was tasty and salad was fresh. Dressing was just ok.
