ORLANDO, Fla. (February 10, 2020) – Romacorp, Inc., the parent company of Tony Roma’s® – the world’s largest casual dining concept specializing in ribs – announces today another new restaurant location in Madrid, Spain. The all-new Tony Roma’s location can be found in the unique Centro Commercial Islazul Shopping Mall.

“Tony Roma’s is one of the flagship brands among the restaurant sector, especially in Madrid, the city where we arrived as the first American chain 25 years ago. The capital has become our symbolic home base and remains a strong bet for us. We are sure that 2020 is going to be an important year for the brand,” said Paz Serrano, corporate director of expansion and franchising at Beer & Food.

The restaurant’s new location in the Centro Commercial Islazul positions it in a unique environment filled with gardens, natural waterfalls and enchanting mist. It’s a place surrounded by locals and tourists who adore fun eateries, shopping and entertainment. Tony Roma’s will now be part of the 180 stores and restaurants that make this extraordinary mall stand out from the rest. The new address is at Calle Calderilla, 1, 28054, Madrid.

“Opening another family-friendly Tony Roma’s in Madrid not only pays homage to this great country, but it creates jobs and delights patrons from all over with a classic dining experience all can enjoy,” said Fabián Escalante, General manager of the new Tony Roma’s. “I look forward to bringing Tony Roma’s high-quality experience, flavorful dishes and lively atmosphere to guests and visitors.”

Tony Roma’s invites locals and tourists to indulge in its World-Famous Baby Back Ribs and other menu classics that have become fan favorites including their Onion Loaf appetizer and Romarita® cocktails.
