Tony Macaroni in North Down

Honestly an overall poor experience. Had a table booked for 12pm, arrived 5 minutes early to be told by a young rude man to leave and come back in 10 minutes. After returning, taken to a table and had to wait over 20 minutes before drinks being brought to the table, which we then had to tell the boy we would like to order food. We were a party of 5 (3 children) and only 3 main courses came to the table with 2 of the children’s meals coming 5 minutes after. Mozzarella sticks were barely warm, chips were obviously bought in frozen, and the food itself was average. We weren’t checked during the meal, nor asked after if we enjoyed the food. The food I could live with, but the service was just so so poor. Unfortunately won’t be back.

Took the kids during half term. The food was lovely and very reasonably priced. The service was fantastic, everyone was friendly and helpful and went out if their way to make sure we had an enjoyable experience. Will def be back!

Went here for a Friday night tea and loved it. The food was excellent and I had penne pesto pasta with chicken and hubby had chicken and chilli pizza and both were fab. The staff were amazing and young Suzanne and Hannah the bar Manager were fabulous and so friendly. Had a great wee night and will be back.

Fantastic Italian pizza and fabulous penne pesto pasta. Food was great and service was excellent. Suzanne welcomed us as we came in and Hannah, the Bar Manager was brilliant. A great night with fantastic food and service Looking forward to coming back soon

I took my 12 year old daughter last night for a treat and it turned out to be anything but that. We ordered two meals and were happily chatting. After a while my meal came out and we waited for my daughters to be delivered. I signaled our waiter that we were waiting and he went off to look for it. 10 minutes later I went up myself and they hadn't even started it. They sent it out after 5 minutes and I had to ask to get my meal reheated. My daughter took a bite and immediately knew it wasn't right. She had been given pasta with beef and she is a Hindu. She burst into tears and I had to go sort it out again. At every stage I was made to feel like a nuisance and no apology ever came. Never again

I was so disappointed with my last visit here. As soon as my partner and I walked through the door, staff looked at us but carried on cleaning tables and avoiding us, immediately making us feel unwelcome. Once finally seated, we waited 10 minutes before getting a drinks order - that we had to ask for. We also waited too long for our food order to be taken and had to ask for that to be taken as well. Our starters came out with our mains, which we did not ask for. My partners pasta was undercooked. Not once did a waitress / waiter ask if the meal was OK. We sat with our empty plates infront of us for too long before getting up to pay. It felt like we were forgotten about. We told the waitress we were unhappy with the service as she smirked and got the person in charge who just took a % off our bill and didn't interact and ask what was wrong. Overall an extremely poor experience. Perhaps down to inexperienced staff however this is not an excuse.

The food was very poor quality and the staff looked like they didn't know what to do . This was probably because they obviously have been trained .

This was my Grandsons choice to celebrate his 9th birthday. The restaurant has only reopened recently and unfortunately it appears that the staff are fairly new. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the menu is comprehensive. It was fairly busy so didn't mind waiting a little while before we ordered drinks about 2 minutes later another waiter asked if we would like a drink but we ecplained we had already ordered them. We placed our meal orders about twenty minutes after arriving, two minutes later another waitress asked if we were ready to order. When the food arrived two of the orders were wrong and my three year old daughters childrens pizza was the same size as mine which was a bit of a waste. Bit of a shambles really but couldn't help feeling sorry for the staff as they were clearly out of their depth and need a bit more training.

Tony's opened again on a Tuesday, after being closed for whatever reason, for many months. We decided to leave it a few days, and go on the Saturday, hoping any small problems would be ironed out. The restaurant was maybe less than half full when we arrived, so a good start seeing people back there. Unfortunately the waiting staff all looked like it was their first job doing so. They were all young, so i dont blame them, but proper staff training would have been handy. Once seated and given menus, nobody came near us, so after 25minutes, and finally catching the sight of a young girl, we asked could we please order some food and drinks. The drinks came promptly. As we were waiting, a waitress asked if we would like anything else... answering that we hadnt actually eaten yet. I would say after a 30minute wait from ordering, we asked if there was any sign of our food. The waitress checked and said its coming next. Within five minutes it had arrived. So a full hour after arriving, we finally got our food. Not great when you have a hungry 5 year old waiting for pizza. Our table said the food was decent. Not exactly out of this world. The garlic chips came on a plate with about 15 chips on it. Same with the cajun chips. My own pasta dish was a bit bland. Plenty of pepper helped the taste. We used to love this place, but if its going to stay open, it'll need to improve vastly! I'll not rush back for a while though...

Dreadful stuff. Have avoided it like the plague since it opened as it’s situated on the site of doom where nothing has done well that came before it. I don’t know how it’s managed to last as long as it has. There are offers on posters everywhere in a futile attempt to lure customers in. The kitchen and its chefs (I use the word Chef lightly here) are dripping in inexperience and it shows on the plate. The one saving grace was the girl who looked after us at her table who was lovely. As for that? Avoid like the plague. Dreadful stuff.

Stopped here for tea with my wife and wish I had not, the staff are inexperienced and slow , it was the worst burger I have had for a long time

Glad it has reopened Beautiful meal as always. We had the pizzas, lasagne and a selection of ice cream sundaes, all were delicious . The staff were all very friendly and attentive

Have mixed feelings about this place, went a couple of times before and didn’t think much of it then before it closed I had a good meal and my son loved the pizza. Been waiting for it to reopen but should have held out because some of the worse service was on display. Place wasn’t overly busy but had to wait 30 min for starter and 1hr for the main course. Asked for child’s desert to be served when we had our mains but didn’t arrive till after we finished. Felt sorry for other customers they served parents desert and didn’t serve kids till the parents had finished there’s and had to chase the staff down to see were the kids desert was.

After many trips to Bloomfield Shopping Centre with my wife and saying "lets try there sometime", tonight we did....and it was awful to say the least. We where starving ordered and ordered Antipasti Caldi to share as a starter. When it came some of it was at best tepid, the rest was cold. After eating a lukewarm chicken wing and a cold mozzarella stick I called the waiter over to get him to take it away. I told him it was cold and showed him by sticking my finger in the cold mozzarella stick, he did the same and agreed it was cold. Very apologetic - not his fault. Offered us another, we declined. Thankfully it was removed from the bill. The restaurant was not in anyway busy, so there really is no excuse. I had ordered lasagne for main, the waitress came back to tell me they didn't have any.....an Italian restaurant with no lasagne...really?! So I ordered linguine di anna. My wife ordered penne cotadina. The actual pasta and sauce in each dish was hot ok, there was too much of it though! My wifes was overpowered with garlic (and she loves garlic) mine was at best average. It was to have chicken and chorizo in it which is my favourite combo. It did have it, but not fresh chicken breast strips as you would get in a nice Italian, it was diced chicken cubes like you would get in a kebab shop that does pizzas. The meal was simply not good. We dine out regularly and I have never sent food back, tonight was a first. Honestly felt like Gordon Ramsey in an episode of Ramseys Kitchen Nightmares. It was sooooo poor and sent so much of it back. Looking at other reviews, I can only imagine that they have got a new chef after opening from lockdowns. However, I can't see it staying open for much longer. Truthfully one of the worst meals we have ever had. I would advise you to avoid. I've got a toilet roll in the fridge incase the cold chicken wing doesn't play out well.

We went here about 5 years ago and had a poor meal but decided on giving it a second chance in the hope things had improved. We got seated at a table for 2 which was very small, they weren't busy at all so they should have used their availability and seated us at a more comfortable table. We went for the Sunday deal where you get a starter and main for £11.95 which we thought was a great price, the starter was nice and presentation of the starter was fairly good so we assumed our main meal would be even better.. unfortunately it was horrible in every way imaginable, I had the burger which was dripping with grease which in turn left the bap sloppy and the chips were scattered on the plate (I'm sure they were just frozen chips) I requested garlic chips which I assumed would come with a seperate garlic mayonnaise dip but it was just some sort of oil or butter poured over them, there was no side salad and the presentation was honestly the worst I've EVER came across.. ( maybe if you're getting the Sunday deal they don't care as much about presentation or flavour because it's cheaper!?) To be honest, a chip shop meal would have looked and tasted better! My husbands dinner was even worse as he had the chicken burger that was dry and coated in some battered crumbs?! This restaurant does not serve fresh food and appears to me that the food is Iikely bought in Iceland, fried and then served.. its no wonder the restaurant isn't particularly busy, the chef needs to really work on presentation of food and flavours.. my husband and I would eat at blue Chicago every Saturday and decided on a change this weekend but we were massively disappointed if even a little shocked too. We didn't eat the food at all, 3 chips and a quarter of a burger and we were done. The ONLY reason we didn't complain was because the staff who served us were amazing, that's the only thing this restaurant has going for them is the table staff who served us. The food is basic at best, we won't be returning for those reasons! We were charged £35 and instantly regretted not sticking to the same restaurant over the road which costs the same except the quality and presentation is 10/10. Its the type of dinner I'd have thrown together for my kids on a day I just couldn't be bothered to make any effort to cook.

Absolutely no atmosphere. We we sat at a table for 4 max, despite there being 5 of us, was cramped throughout the meal. No kids menus were available so the options were rhymed off to us. We had to ask to order drinks when our...

Should have got spooked when all the 5 star reviews are single contributers. Service was just below average. It seemed strange to group the six tables of people together in the centre when the place was empty. Tables were not clean. The partition perspex between...

This was my boyfriend and I’s first time coming here, we saw it across from blue Chicago one time and thought we should go sometime and today we decided to come here for dinner then head for a cinema date. We arrived at 6pm, our...

Went for a celebratory family meal as we have previously enjoyed meals here. However, our experience this time was awful. 3 of our 4 meals arrived about 10-15mins before the fourth and our side. Our table was then cleared before we had all finished eating....

Visited this restaurant for the first time today with my husband and 12 yr old daughter. Ordered 2 pizzas and mushroom risotto from the presto menu. Excellent value for money... My husband and daughter had pizza and we all agreed it was the nicest pizza...

As a family we decided to go out for dinner. We have been a few times previously and the food has been fresh and delicious and service was on point. Unfortunately this time service was very slow and food was not up to standard. As...

Ordered lasagne that had been clearly defrosted and was mushy. Not only that but was still cold in the centre. My third time eating here and I can’t say I’ve enjoyed any of the meals eaten. Would not recommend.

This was our first visit to Toni Macaroni and it was really lovely! The food was delicious and the service was great. There were also new measures put in place that made the restaurant feel very safe.

Excellent food and service, with all the required safety precautions (face masks, social distancing, disposable menus, one way system, etc.). Would highly recommend the Caprina pizza or any of the Risottos.

My daughter ordered brushetta with tomatoes, garlic, oil and basil but what appeared was 3 slices of baguette with approximately 3 baby tomatoes chopped up, no garlic or basil as described on the menu and the bread soggy with oil.  She said it was tasteless....

First visit to a restaurant post lock down. Social distancing taking place but that may have been because it wasn’t very busy., Have had many lovely meals here but staff were not wearing face coverings or visors . Due to their close proximity to diners...

My daughter and I were hungry so went into this restaurant. Plenty of hand sanitizer and social distancing. Huge menu. I had steamed mussels with lots of garlic for a starter. OMG gorgeous. My daughter had the fried mozarella which she enjoyed. Steak and pizza...

Arrived on a Thursday early evening at 5:30pm and asked for a table for 5 and a high chair to be told that we wouldn’t be able to get a table until 7pm even though the restaurant was half empty. Throughly disappointing as the restaurant...

Went here for the first time recently, and we were very impressed. Excellent choice, great fresh food and friendly service. Don't know why it took us so long to try here, however we will be back soon. Recommended.

I have been to belfast branch and decided to go to the Bangor branch with friends as its only 8 to 10 mins away from us. We went for lunch meeting at about 12.15, they had not been to Tony Macaronis before. We all decided...

So many choices on the menu. Food always so fresh and great portions. Never had such pleasant service in a restaurant and the staff there are always so good to our 5 year old! Can't wait to go back!

Just been to Tony Macaroni's for tea. Had a terrible meal. No one asked us how our meal was, salmon not cooked properly, chips were hard. Asked for bill and said about how disappointed we were with our meal and reaons for this. Staff member...

I took my daughter here as a treat. And a treat it is. We LOVE it..the food is all freshly prepared and the sour dough pizzas are frankly exceptional. The service is friendly, and the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. Our fave place to...

Had a lovely dinner here with my family. Pizza and pasta dishes all tasty. Friendly and attentive staff. Was impressed for a franchise. Better than Pizza Express.

The wife was out and the grandson fancied a pizza so we ended up at Tony Macaroni very nice will be back

Nicest pizza I’ve had since I was in Rome ! Staff are friendly and attentive. Clean comfortable stylish interior. And reasonably priced! Win win win !! I (stupidly) thought because it’s in a retail park it wouldn’t be up to much but how wrong I...

Food was first class! Staff were lovely! Had prawn dish from specials menu... amazing! My husband had Spicy chicken burger which was first class!!

The pizza came very quickly I must say but I was disappointed as the pizza didn't live up to my expectations I would honestly compare it to a frozen pizza but a very nice delivery driver.

My son chose Tony Macaroni for his birthday lunch treat and I'm so glad he did. The service was quick and the staff were attentive without being intrusive. My husband and I opted to 'go Jimmy' so we shared a spaghetti carbonara and pizza. The...

We popped in during the week and ordered from the presto menu! Great value for money and the food was gorgeous. Its one of our favourite places to go. Pizzas are fresh and huge. My kids love the pasta bolognese. Sometimes service a little slow...

Had a fantastic meal. Super reasonable prices and a plentiful menu. Staff were very good. Will certainly be making a return trip.

I've been here a couple of times over the last few months so thought I would leave a review. During my visits here I have sampled a few different starters, mains and desserts and have to say everything I have had from here thus far...

Been here a few times. The food is excellent everytime, portions are good and very reasonably priced

Have ordered close on 40 pizzas from here since they started delivering and have witnesses a steady decline in quality from outstanding to atrocious. Ordered a Capricosa and it arrived with No artichoke whatsoever, the egg was raw and for some unknown reason it was...

Each visit to Tony Macaroni’s the food has been of high standard and fairly priced. I have been on a Sunday when they do a special two course for £17 (I think) and again the food was great! Staff are very helpful!

My wife and I were here on Saturday 11th of May. I had pizza and my wife had risotto. This was easily the best pizza I have eaten, I would say that pizza is my favourite meal and as such I have tried most of...

So I decided to take my girlfriend to Tony Macaroni’s for an ‘Italian Night’. What a delight that was! Value for Monday, great food and a great service! I’d recommend sharing a Pizza and Pasta with a side of chips/garlics as they will divide it...

staff very friendly and helpful, food was very good, selected from cheaper menu, will go back again.

Recently had dinner here with friends, it was good and reasonably priced, it’s definitely not fine dining but worth a visit

Went with party of 7 on Saturday night. Place was busy but we were at no point rushed or forgotten about. Very friendly waiters were always available when needed. Meals very plentiful and very tasty. Well done to the Chefs. Been a few times now...

Quite possibly the nicest pasta carbonara I’ve ever tasted! Staff were helpful without being over the top, excellent Sunday menu with just the right amount of choice on it

Excellent service, excellent food and made to feel welcome. Highly recommend a visit. They looked after the grand children well.

had the sunday presto meal which is super value to start however for month of Jan you get 50% off food bill if you book online. 3 course meal for £7.50 is exceptional value and the food was amazing. We will definitely be back again

The food here is nice enough but not outstanding. I have been here several times now and every single time there is something wrong with the meal, either something is forgotten or or the food doesn’t taste right. This comes across as quite lazy. It’s...

First time visit. 3 of us ordered 3 different pizzas. All were delicious. But I think my Champions BBQ pizza won the prize. Great service too by charming waiters. A delightful experience all round. We will be back!

If you like your pizza this is the place to go.The pizza here is by far the best I have ever had in Northern Ireland. I have travelled to Italy on a lot of occasions and this is the best pizza I have had outside...

Ended up at Tony Macaronis after shopping and decided it was handier than our original plans, so we entered. We stood waiting at 7.30 on Friday peak time. Understandably busy, though when entering a restaurant as a waitress myself, its only common courtesy to say...

A lot of choice on the menu - something for everyone. Friendly staff, love that there is italian staff also. I've been twice so far and will def be back. Our cleared plates said it all. Pizza one of the nicest I've had. Garlic chips...

Had lunch in here recently and the Sunday lunch deal is fantastic. 2 courses for 10.95 and the food was very good! First time in here and will for sure be back. Good job guys!

Just nipped in for a quick bite before the cinema, but wish we hadn't already booked our tickets, or we'd have happily stayed all evening. Food excellent - antipasti to share, wonderful, so fresh & delightful, pizza, superb & my burger deliciously tasty, non fatty...

We went here with another couple for a meal and were pleasantly surprised both by the service and the food. The waitress was very friendly and chatty and recommended some of the dishes we ordered. Essentially an American style Diner with an Italian food influence....

Excellent value for what you get, beautifully made Italian style Pizza, proper Italian pasta, what more can you want! Would thoroughly recommend!

This would have got 4 out if 5 but..... Family night out. On a Thursday. It wasn’t busy. Only about 8 other people in. In our group was 2 adults, 2 kids. We’d 3 starters between the 4 of us. Starters were about £6.50 each....

Good food, good service, and good prices. Fantastic choice. Highly recommended. Good Italian dining experience
