Housed in a new, nondescript storefront situated on a busy stretch of Foothill Boulevard in Rancho Cucamonga, Romano's Macaroni Grill looks anything but authentic Italian. But upon entering the restaurant, be prepared to be transported from a shopping center in Southern California to a bustling indoor café in Northern Italy.
Blues music wafts through the small shop. The atmosphere is casual and noticeably content as circles of friends sip drinks and converse the evening away.
