Pepper extravaganza
Too much pepper! The seasoning is like 90% pepper and only 10% cheese.

Good but a little too peppery.
I thought this was pretty good - just a bit too peppery for my preferences. The pepper overpowered the cheese flavor. I don’t know that I would buy it again but I did like it.

Delicious!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Kraft Mac and Cheese Restaurant Edition was creamy, flavorful, and satisfying. The consistency was smooth and creamy, the appearance was appetizing, and the cheese had a rich, cheesy flavor. The pasta was creamy and flavorful, and I would definitely buy it again.

My new favorite
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my favorite flavor of Mac and Cheese from now on. Some day, I don't really like the American cheese version of Kraft and cheese cause I thought the flavor is a little too intense to be a good side dish. This one is different. It is creamy but the cheesy flavor is mild and not too punchy, which makes it suitable to be a side dish for anything

Meh
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pasta was not my cup of tea. It was too dry and had too muchmuch pepper. The after taste was meh. Even though it looked nice. It did not taste very flattering.

Creamy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was very easy to make. It was creamy and had a good flavor. It was a nice change from the traditional Kraft Mac and cheese. My kids still prefer the traditional flavor but it was a nice addition to our dinner.

Decent Side Dish!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My overall experience of trying the Kraft Mac and Cheese Restaurant Edition Romano Casio E Pepe was somewhat satisfying. The product was easy to prepare with instructions on the back of the box. The texture of the macaroni and seasoning was okay. It was not too spicy. The creaminess was not there for me. It seemed as if it was missing something but my husband loved it. The product itself did not leave me an aftertaste. I would conclude this as a decent side dish to prepare.

Great taste and easy to prepare!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Kraft Mac and cheese restaurant edition cacio y pepe was really tasty! It was easy to prepare and it did a great job completing our dinner meal. It did require quite a bit of butter but it was loved by everyone in the house, even my extremely picky 12 year old. I think the servings are pretty accurate, 4 as a side or 2 if it's your whole meal. I also really enjoyed the noodle type. It wasn't the standard macaroni or shell type. Overall, a big hit in our house and I would buy it again.

Great to Have on Hand
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so pleasantly surprised with this Mac and cheese! I think the serving size is great and offers 4 portions, which is perfect for a family size box. It is a great thing to have on hand when you need to get dinner together quickly and can easily bulk it up by adding on proteins or veggies. The ingredients are pretty good in comparison to some others. The flavor is amazing and love the fresh cracked pepper taste, which I haven’t experienced with a box of Mac and cheese. Overall, I absolutely think this is worth a try and I’ll be looking for it in stores.

Must love pepper
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This box mix really stepped up the Kraft name and surprised us with flavor. However, take the name seriously, it is very pepper heavy! It is packed with large, coarse pieces of black pepper that had us picking out pieces from our teeth hours later. The serving suggestion is to add freshly cracked pepper on top but I couldn’t see adding a speck more! We served it as a side dish, but we were shocked by the quantity and it could have stood as the main. Our kids were divided on the bold flavor, one asked for seconds (then thirds) while the other left theirs mostly untouched. Makes an easy fast meal if pepper is your thing.

Tasty Side-Dish
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I made Kraft's Mac & Cheese Romano Cacio E Pepe tonight with Pork Chops and Apple Sauce. It made an easy and quick dinner taste like something from a restaurant. It was cheesy, smooth, and had a light peppery taste to it. It was also very filling. On another note, I like that there are simple ingredients in this with no artificial flavors, preservatives or dyes. I will definitely look for this next time I go grocery shopping

Pretty darn good!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Rich and creamy and flavorful but not overpowering. One box serves about 4 people. I think I'm going to add some cut up chicken in mine next time and make it a complete meal.

Elevated my quick family weekday busy meal
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] “Mmmmm” from a kiddo is great compliment, “can we have this again?” From a littler one is the highest! This Mac n cheese elevated a quick weekday meal for my family. Preparation; easy. Serving; perfect for my little family of five with a meat and veggie. Aroma; cheesy black pepper perfection that only made the meltability melt more in your mouth than just on the plate. Kept great or stored well in the pantry until ready to use as a quick side dish or meal 😉

Ver tasty, easy to fix
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Mac and cheese had a very good flavor for coming out of a box. It has extra spices that elevate the flavors. You just add milk and butter to the flavor packet and noodles for an easy side dish that is very tasty.

Great flavor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Kraft Restaurant Edition Romano Cacio e Pepe mac and cheese, and it was a hit for the whole family. It’s definitely different from the standard boxed mac and cheese we’re used to, thanks to the Romano cheese and pepper flavor, and the pipette pasta holds the sauce nicely. It was very easy to make and came together in about 10 minutes. Overall, we really liked it. It was very good, and my son even asked for seconds.

Why make regular when you can prepare Restaurant Edition?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the idea of elevated Mac n cheese, and the larger portion! You prepare Restaurant Edition just as you would regular Mac n cheese, so I appreciated the ease. We melted the butter in the hot pan and mixed with the milk and cheese BEFORE tossing it with the noodles, which I prefer for a consistent sauce texture. So creamy! The noodles are huge and fancy, and hold onto the cheese nicely. It was great to have Romano as opposed to cheddar for a change, and the flavor was perfectly balanced by the black pepper. My daughter finished hers quicker than I could have imagined, and asked for seconds. I’m a huge fan, and look forward to making Restaurant Edition in place of regular!

Restaurant-quality comfort in 10 minutes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn't sure what to expect from a boxed cacio e pepe, but this one won me over on the first bite. The Romano cheese flavor is sharp, nutty, and savory, with a nice hit of black pepper that makes it taste far more grown-up than regular boxed mac. It's creamy without being heavy, and the sauce actually clings to the pasta instead of pooling at the bottom of the bowl. The pipette shape is the real star. Those little hollow curls scoop up the sauce so every bite is fully coated, and the durum wheat semolina blend gives them a satisfying al dente bite that holds up well, even as leftovers. It's easy enough for a busy weeknight but feels a little elevated. I served it as a side with roasted chicken and on its own with extra cracked pepper and a sprinkle of parmesan on top, and both were a hit.

Yum!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly this pasta is really good! More flavorful and unique than what I’ve come to expect from mac and cheese, but just as easy to put together.

Flavorful & filling
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy preparation & steps. The flavor is smooth and leaves a good aftertaste. The size of the noodles are very filling! I would recommend using a little more milk if you want more of a creamy texture. Overall, recommend for a good side dish!
