“ Hours on Google do not reflect their actual hours. Not many breakfast options but the ham+cheese omelette was okay. Mimosa was good but expensive! ”
“ I don't get their rating. I have avoided this restaurant solely because of cost, but realized I was paying $18-$20 for a burger at other places and they were only mediocre. We just had a wonderful experience. It was fast, tasted amazing, and the service was the best I have had at O'hare. Mine was $24, my colleague's salad was$18. This is probably the only place I will eat at O'hare, when I have time to sit and enjoy a meal. Great waiter may be the difference in my experience, but the food was also awesome for both of us. I had the Penne Rustica. It had a little bite to it, but was super flavorful. ”
“ The New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is devine and the lobster bisque was scrumptious. I would not recommend the brussel sprouts as they were very dry, luke warm, and overall not worth the money.. ”
“ Wow I fly so much but this one time my daughter who is also a foodie wanted to try it and it did not disappoint. We had the pasta and calamari definitely will stop by again. ”
“ Stopped at Romano’s Macaroni Grill in Chicago Airport during a layover and was impressed for an airport restaurant. The service was friendly and attentive without feeling rushed, and my order came out quickly despite the busy crowd. Portions were generous, the pasta was cooked perfectly, and the flavors were fresh—not the bland, reheated taste you sometimes get in airports. Prices are what you’d expect for an airport location, but the quality made it worth it. Clean dining area and easy to relax before my next flight. ”
