Di Maggio's - East Kilbride in South Lanarkshire

Don't recommend. Poor quality food, not very good trained front of house staff. More like a kids area than an adult restaurant. Sad but disappointed.

Very popular for children so if you're looking for a quiet night, look elsewhere! Choice is good, food is tasty, but service is patchy. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Came today first in a while and probably be the last going with the price increase £18.95 for ying yang chicken and chips and £18 for 2 portions of wings and neatly £9 for 2 cokes , 2 adults 2 kids , I got from the lunch menu and my daughter got a portion of chips for her main and it was still £112 it’s actually laughable , no alcoholic drinks with that

great food service not the best

Food is of a good quality if not outstanding. Probably on a par with Tony Macaroni. But menu is a lot more limited. The resturant itself is nicely decorated and quite spacious - does not feel like you are crammed in which is nice. We were there on a Wednesday and it was quite empty so not much atmosphere. Service is friendly, but painfully slow. It was a quiet night when we were in and it took ages to get served. Would go again if passing but would not go out of my way.

Soft play element is excellent for the kids!

Not cheap but very well cooked food

Very family orientated venue, which meant that it was quite loud. We had a big part and food was out quickly and was delicious. The only downside is that we weren't asked if we wanted dessert or coffees (possibly because they thought the birthday cake was dessert? And we'd been there a good time so probably wanted to turn the tables) but some of the group would have liked an after dinner hot drink. Good options of gluten free and the dreaded Allergy Folder was easy to read.

I really enjoy Di Maggios food, always have and always will but found the EK location too loud and busy to sit and have an enjoyable meal. Lots of tables with large parties and kids running all over and plenty of noise

Food arrived on cold plates. We had half and half. Pizza was cold and pasta was like soup.

Chips were a little cold but overall good food

Food was fresh taste was out this world have 0 complaints

Used to come here all the time but stopped as some of the staff were not the best. First time back in a couple of years. The place has been refurbished and looks like a lot of new staff. All the staff were great, great service and great food. Will defo start coming back here again.

Ordered a delivery. Soup was pretty tasteless and portion size small. Pizza with rocket and cheese was very salty. Pasta was ok. One desert with caramel shortcake would have been better with more ice cream and less shortcake. £48 so not cheap

Visited for lunch yesterday, food was lovely, service was quick and efficient. Great lunch deal on through the week. Coffees were great also, will be back for another visit soon!

First time back in around 10 years. The place looks nice, clean and welcoming. Girl at the door was lovely, and was probably the only good thing about this place, props to her. Service during our food main meal was good, however we tried to get some desserts to takeaway, we waited at the counter for 10 minutes, was ignored, then my sister asked the girls behind the bar if she could get served for some ice cream, waited another 5 minutes, nah nothing, we walked out. Food is okay, pizza is doughy, very thin, a poor imitation of a thin Italian pizza. Pepperoni was pretty awful. Mozzarella dippers meh, food is 2/5. If you’re looking for mid meal, with decent service, this is the place for you. Visit Sunday 2nd March 14:00

Average food, average service, no atmosphere,

Ordered a meal deal for 2, pizza and calzone with fries, mozzarella balls and fries. Nothing wrong with it at all, tasted great and delivery came half an hour before expected. Can't complain, will order again.

Calzone was really small compared to before and not very hot either. Would stick with a normal pizza next time. mozzarella cubes were nice but not a great portion size for a takeaway.

Spot on. Lovely fresh hot food.

Lovely pizza delivered early by a very helpful driver

Says food delivered but i do not have my order?

Called earlier this evening asked to book a table with valentines menu I was told they were fully booked! Then walked in and when’s seated I asked for valentines menu they said you only get that if you book! And the place was empty I will not go there again or recommend that you go bad costumer services

spot on family restaurant, great staff, lots of fun play for the kids. food was great as was the service.

Ordered the sausage pasta and got chicken pasta instead 🙁

Always loved Di Maggios before the refurb. I've been a couple of times since, and it's okay, but the food isn't as good as it was in the past. Service can be patchy unless it's quiet, but a big no no for me is the automatic 8% tip they add to the bill, regardless of group size. My most recent trip (29Jan) saw us (2 people) arrive 6pm on a Tuesday. Initial service was good - order taken quickly and the starter was out quickly. We got the Louisiana wings to share. They were really not hot at all, and this has been the case the past few times. Really small wings too. The badass wings were legendary many years ago - very saucy, and very hot. And very painful if you had any exposed cut on your fingers. Progressively they seem to have been toned down, even before the refurb. The wings yesterday, however, were so dry with minimal sauce applied, and therefore not hot at all. Perhaps applied as a mist rather than a sauce. The plate was virtually clean afterwards such was the lack of sauce, and what was left on the plate was more watery than saucy. 10 wings each and we were still starving. The plates were taken away quickly and mains out soon after. I had spag bol - it was great to be honest, but felt a bit stingy on the amount. While it's a deepish bowl, there wasn't much and I was done in a couple of minutes. My son had the lasagne. Like the badass wings, the lasagne was legendary in the past. Yesterday, it was reasonable. But like the newer wings it felt quite dry inside it. Taste not amazing, quite a carroty taste in my opinion, but still good enough that it was finished. Good size though - no complaints on that. As a side note, and having had other meals as dine in and takeaway here, it does seem that anything with a sauce is given the bare minimum. I've had a few Mac and cheese (which I love) but they are a bit dry at times. At this point we were happy enough, but it's also at this point it went a bit downhill. The restaurant was fairly busy, but there were still a good number of staff running around. We wanted dessert, but it took about 40 minutes from finishing our main to be asked. After about 20 minutes, we tried to proactively catch someone to ask for the menu, but only succeeded after some time. Maybe we need to be more bold, but it seems that rather than certain staff dealing with certain tables, it just seems like all staff deal with all tables, so it's a bit chaotic. Dessert turned out to be nice (desserts always are) but we noticed it was sitting for a good 5 minutes on the counter and the bell was rung a few times before it was brought to us. Not great when a hot chocolate fudge cake is sitting with ice cream. Then we got the bill, and it came with an additional 8% tip already added. There was only 2 of us, and it's happened before, and this is a bit of a no no for me - I should decide if I tip based on service and how much. It's not a tip if it's already added on. I would always tip anyway, so I didn't complain and paid it, but it's little things like that which can put a negative ending on the experience, and can override any positives from your visit. And because it's already added, it doesn't seem as appreciated when payment is taken. In the end it was just a few pence under £70 for 2 people (including 3 drinks and the automatic tip). Put it this way, I typically don't leave reviews for food. But I felt I should, because how can a place improve if you don't share your experience.

Very pricey but food was decent

Approx 2.5 hours delivery time. Food was cold

Order placed for 7pm but it arrived 45 mins late inaccurate updates on app and i had to contact restaurant to find out what was happening with my order. This led to us not enjoying our food

The food is amazing quality and tastes good too. Very good atmosphere chilled and the sound of people enjoying themselves. Owners have done reliant renovation. Have already been 4 times since it reopened. Definitely recommend .

This pizza hit the spot. Only place that provides fresh rocket, basil and parmesan curls as topping choice, on the margarita with feta it was perfection!

This is a place for young families. Food is very basic. It was very noisy & certainly not a place for a nice quiet romantic meal. Didn't have Guinness Zero, which in this day & age is simply not acceptable. Personally, I won't be back.

chips were reheated and hard went in bin

We’ve had our Christmas Eve lunch at this di Maggio’s every year for 11 years and we were so disappointed this year. Service was really slow at points and as we were told we’d only have the table for 2 hours, this was going to be impossible given the wait. Two of us were given the wrong pasta dish, although staff were insistent that it was correct. It 100% wasn’t, we were given carbonara and. It what we ordered and one of the chicken pasta dishes had one single bit of chicken!! One of the starters, calamari, had to be sent back as it was inedible and like rubber. Some of the starters were cold. The macaroni had no taste. Just lots of little things like that made it a really poor experience & it didn’t even seem that busy compared to previous years. We were told immediately that they only have one type of lager so that’s what we’ll get. Rude. We also ordered drinks that just never arrived & then had to ask for it to be taken off the bill. Overall, it was just pretty disappointing to be honest. Our bill came to over £300 and it wasn’t worth half of that. And of course, they now add their own gratuity. Sadly, we’ve now called time on our wee di maggios Christmas Eve tradition and will need to look for somewhere else.

Received the wrong order and realised when I got home that food was cold

Expensive and extremely average.

Food was okay. Santa was fantastic! Very realistic, great with the kids, real beard

Went here for family dinner.. quick service, good food, excellent staff. Great for adults and kids. Children loved the play area.

Chips were very soggy if not reheats. Pizza was very stale and not fresh either. Disappointing. Pasta & garlic bread were nice though!

Got an online delivery which on the last occasion was great. Spent over £50, food arrived 40 minutes late after phoning to check where it was, it was lukewarm with the cheese solidified on the pizza. Disappointed and won't be rushing to order again

It was the lads Xmas day out. We booked a table for 3:15pm. The staff were excellent from the minute we walked in the door. We were shown to our table as soon as we arrived. The establishment was about 40% full and seen a few folk we knew. Staff were quick to get our drinks order and take our food order. We didn't have to wait long for the food to arrive. We ordered off the Xmas menu. The food was decent but the staff were outstanding. The drink flowed and was a good atmosphere.

I have known this place for many years and today I had dinner here again and I think the change suits them very well in every way. Good service, very good food and a great manager who makes sure everything goes well.I know Marious very well since the Atlantis restaurant. And he always looks out for all the clients. Regards Jose valido

Food delivered slightly earlier than expected and to a very high quality. Will certainly order from the company again.

Food is ok - standard Delivery service - terrible. We live around the corner it took a lifetime. Delivered everywhere and us last Staff are unpleasant and immature

Meal delicious and still warm, but late delivery. More driver trainjng needed

Great food fantastic service and busy.

Food was amazing, delivered early and it was hot. Great service

Lovely food and very hot. Really enjoyed it. Thank you.

Amazing food great service and always eager to help and make it all run smoothly

Location is actually really good. Great parking, ramp to door and ground floor seating makes it really accessible. Spacious inside and nice light decor, great for large party tables or booths for 6. Food was just about average unfortunately. The mushroom aranchini (pictured) was very good, creamy and flavorful. Ying yang chicken (pictured) we got as a starter. Chicken was fine but sauce was quite rich, doesn't go at all with the thousand island sauce you get with it. Very samey so glad i took it as a starter and not a main. We also had peppercorn chicken and veggies with fries, good and i had a tomato penne with roast chicken, this was the one that wasn't great. Needed salt/pepper and pasta was VERY all dente. All cooked well and came out hot but just nothing very stand-out about it for us. Drinks menu is good for cocktails and the disney star martini (mocktail) was very sweet but nice.

This is a large restaurant which attracts a lot of families with young children. The soft play area is a massive bonus for families. We were having a family reunion and there were about 25 people at our table. The restaurant managed to deal with this large booking really well - there wasn't a single mistake with our orders and I can't fault the service (although one dish arrived slightly cold, which was corrected promptly). The food was all really good, and represents good value for money. I would definitely return. Only slight downside was the noise levels. We visited at a time when there were lots of children and the noise from the soft play area was a bit intrusive. But this is only a small issue and was far outweighed by the benefit of being able to let our children play while the order was coming. All in all, an extremely positive experience, thank you Di Maggio's

Food was lovely but order was wrong ordered a cheeseburger got a plain hamburger and ordered a bacon cheeseburger and got a cheeseburger but disappointed

Been to Di Maggios multiple times over years both the resturant and takeaway. Tonight we ordered two takeaway pizzas. One was salami. There was five small pieces of salami not even one piece per slice. Very poor.

Food and service lovely but the whole place is a play area. You’ll have kids running past your table jumping on chairs screaming running into you wrestling under your table. No parenting going on. Not acceptable when you’re paying to eat somewhere.

We used to love it here before they changed menu, whoever changed the diavolo pizza and the garlic mayo, I really hope bad things happen to you. They’ve literally took the three favourite thing I get away. Diavolo pizza or however it’s spelled, everything about it has changed! Garlic mayo has changed, it’s still ok. And they’ve took away the the one good desert the waffles. Could’ve actually cried, shame the staff are so nice and I really did like the way it used to be… please go back to the way it used to be. Also please clean your cutlery properly 😫 it was minging!

We ordered 1 set of dipping churros and 1 set of filled. Both arrived filled. Tasted great but not what we ordered.

love the new take on the old menu. was in for dinner 2 nights ago, had the same as I ordered tonight, although I was disappointed that in restraunt u get veg with the peppercorn chicken, but not on here...duno why 🤷‍♀️ but apart from that the food was bangin 👌 chicken is melt in the mouth, sauce is stunning, and chips were decent too 👍 onion rings are expensive, but u get a lot in the bag

The delivery was a bit delayed which we were notified of, which is helpful..it still arrived within the expected time frame - on the dot! Food was excellent

Thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon here celebrating my daughters 3rd birthday. Very good menu, food was very tasty and my daughter lived the soft play area indoors and the play area outdoors.

I recently visited DiMaggio's in East Kilbride, and while I was initially excited, my experience was unfortunately ruined by the behavior of the manager, Weronika. To start with the positives, the food was absolutely delicious – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The rest of the staff were also fantastic, offering friendly and attentive service that made the meal enjoyable. However, Weronika's rude and unprofessional behavior completely overshadowed the otherwise great experience. Despite the excellent food and the efforts of the staff, her attitude negatively affected the atmosphere and left us feeling unwelcome. It’s a shame that such a wonderful team and great kitchen are being let down by poor management. Until Weronika's behaviour is addressed, I won’t be returning, as she ruined what could have been a pleasant evening. DiMaggio's has so much potential, and I hope this issue is taken seriously to improve the overall experience.

One of our fab places to eat, they even have a soft play for younger children.

Good food, fast service, great prices.

Crackin restaurant, magic food, great to popinto during the week.

Great refurbishment and the food good as usual

We love DiMaggios usually but the chicken dish was such a let down. A big dry overcooked breast! Most of it was left! Sauce was nice though.

First time visiting. Went there for lunch, food was good, had chicken wings, loaded fries and brushetta Chicken wings weren't that spicy, luisiana hot sauce wasn't spicy and was quite runny, not like the one you get at frenkies but it was still nice enough. I will go back to try pasta at some point

Food wasn't that good. Also added a tip onto the bill. Didn't notice until we got home. Won't be back

Normally excellent, was disappointed this time. Pizza was fine, but my YingYang main was wrong. I got sent a big tub of Thousand Island, and not Ying Yang sauce. The restaurant offered to recook it, which I accepted, and they sent just a tub of sauce. Meaning my ying yang chicken was cold by the time it got its actual sauce. It was nice but because of cold chicken it was spoiled unfortunately. A rare loss for di maggios this time.

cracking pizza, will use again for take out

Nicely decorated, pleasant staff and good reasonably priced food.

There take away is great as well as sit in dinner

First visit since the refurb, I don’t think I’ll be back. We were seated for 30 minutes and were checked on all the time, it was a bit overkill. Felt really rushed, the food tasted like it wasn’t freshly made as it came out so quick and I felt sick afterwards. And who doesn’t slice a pizza before serving to a child! Gratuity tip should not be added onto the bill! This is a customer choice! Overall, I think I’d rather spend my money elsewhere, wish I had gone to carrigans!

This place has recently been refurbished and has a (very small) indoor soft play and outdoor play park. There are a lot of older kids in the soft play and it just isn't big enough for them. I would say age 5 max should be allowed but nobody polices it. The food is good to average, everything was very garlicky. It wasn't bad but it is by no means great Italian food. Kids menus, food and portions were all good.

It was a good pizza but it didn’t have all the toppings that it usually has, and I’ve had the same one when sitting in the restaurant so it was disappointing.

Food was great and hot when it arrived

Recently refurbished, shame the standard of food and service doesn't match the excellent surroundings

Item missing from order, pizza more or less cold on arrival and chips under cooked

Tasty food. Disappointed that my voucher for churro bites didn’t work, even though all the qualifying criteria was met. ☹️

Went here on the 28 th August food was amazing, staff are really friendly and the place is a relaxed atmosphere, will back soon.

got mushrooms instead of mozzarella

It has been refurbished and looks good. The food was good and the service was excellent.

The Rigatoni was beautiful. Got to add a couple of other ingredients. Staff was great, didn't wait long for food! Thank you 💖😊

Lovely setting, just popped in for an ice cream, coffee and churros. Service was good very friendly waitress and manager. Only thing I’d say a service charge which is no issue for me as would have left a tip anyway but shouldn’t be on a table for 2 imo, obviously is up to customer anyway. Everything was good anyway and the place is spotless.

Sorry but no longer value for money portion sizes are a complete joke chef must be on commission for cutting back on delivery meals, 62 chips cold on delivery for £4.50 and a family pasta tray that wouldn’t have fed 2 kids let alone 3 adults, sadly you’ve had your last order from myself either a management or chefs are playing a game, looks like a calorie control game that will loose you more customers unless someone pays attention to what’s leaving the kitchen

It was a home delivery, burger very well done , ordered cheese burger, no cheese included, lasagna small, more watery sauce than pasta, a bit disappointing

No frills ,good food and very nice staff..Great place for kids too,,has had some upgrade very nice

This place used to be gd,food wasnt gd won’t be ordering from here again

We love going here as a family kids get to play in the soft play or the outside play area staff are always lovely really good with the kids never had an issue food amazing aswell

The new decor and transformation of the bar area into the churro section really brightens up the inside and makes it feel more spacious. Food and service great as always. Waiting staff we very friendly and attentive even though they were kept busy with the number of tables. The soft play area is a bonus for parents with younger kids. If you're an older family or without kids maybe ask to be seated slightly away from there.

Pasta portions wouldn’t even fill baby up , terrible won’t be back and I’m still starving after that

Thomas our server was absolutely amazing Was brilliant with my son and so accommodating to my request about spaghetti on the rocks. Would happily have him again as our server

Starter not very warm. Pizza ok. Nice friendly staff

Early evening and the restaurant was quite busy with young families. The entrance level has the toilets and bar and the dining area is on a level 4 steps up. They have a ramp to allow wheelchair access to the dining area but not many staff are allowed to use the ramp so it's not convenient foe wheelchair user responding to a call of nature. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food was OK, I had the Calzone DiMaggio and I thought it needed seasoning and had a lot of sweetcorn to fill it out. Range of draft beer is very poor.

Not enough vegan options on the menu - there was only one item marked vegan and none on the kids menu. It's not hard to have some vegan cheese on hand to veganise a pizza or some lentils for a vegan spagbol. We made a special request from our server to have a vegan pasta option for our wee boy. Food was well made but a little boring. Our son loved the soft play and the kids playground.

Tasted like a full bottle of salt had been dropped in the lasagne. Completely inedible and absolutely no contact from the restaurant when I flagged this via just eat. A complete waste of £20 and terrible customer service. Avoid at all costs.

Came to DiMaggios for an early dinner so half 4 and the place was very busy. That did not affect the service at all and food came quickly and was beautiful. The kids enjoyed coming and going from the inside and outside play area allowing us adults to have a nice chat. It was my daughters birthday and the staff kindly brought her dessert out on a plate with happy birthday wrote in chocolate and also singing happy birthday, it was very much appreciated.

I cannot give this place enough stars. We attended tonight as part of a large party. Our son was recently diagnosed as having an anaphylaxis to eggs and I was so nervous about going in an environment with so much risk. Every single member of staff we came onto contact with was so switched on. They were calm, collected and confident and that left me feeling so relieved. We didn't have any exposure and honestly I could cry with relief. We are so thankful. And the food was delicious!!

If you have kids you HAVE to come here. Lovely family restaurant with soft play and an outdoor play park to entertain little ones. The food was unreal, staff couldn’t be any more helpful, really accommodating to an allergy and even blended a portion of bolognese for my 10 month old to eat! Can’t wait to come back. Fantastic service.

Has been done up since I was last here, all staff were freindly and cheerful . TRY THE FRESH CHUROS,

Prompt service, polite and efficient servers
