Romano's Macaroni Grill

Though it's part of a multistate chain, Romano's has the down-to-earth cheerfulness of a mom-and-pop joint. The laid-back atmosphere makes it a good place for families or those looking for a casual dinner at a good price. The menu offers thin-crust pizzas made in a wood-burning oven and topped with such items as barbecued chicken. The grilled chicken portobello -- simmering between smoked mozzarella and spinach orzo pasta -- is worth a visit. Equally good is an entree of grilled salmon with a teriyaki glaze, also with spinach orzo. Premium wines are served by the glass.
