Noodles in Lincoln

Now that the amazing Macaroni Grill is no longer a part of Omaha, you have to make a short trip to Lincoln.  But with a great friend and some conversation you can get there in no time.  The Macaroni Grill looks exactly the same at all of its locations throughout the U.S.  It is a lovely Italian eatery.  There is a generous selection of wine as well as different non-alcoholic drinks offered.  Their food menu consists of chicken, beef and fish selections, all made to perfection.  Aside from the traditional menu there is also a "pick-your-own" menu.  You are able to design you own entree.  You simply pick you noodle, sauce, meat and vegetable,  then they create a masterpiece of perfection for your taste-buds.  With the arrival of your server, you are presented with a delicious warm loaf of bread, accompanied by a homemade spread, (olive oil, parmesan cheese and cracked black pepper).  Please save some room for some desert.  Your mouth will water at the idea of their delicate tiramisu or gelato and fresh berries.  My suggestions include the calamari or stuffed mushrooms as a starter, followed by a garden salad, the chicken scaloppine and finished up with a tiramisu.  It's delightful!  Trust me it's worth the trip to Lincoln.
