Was awful. The pasta was pathetic. Ordered a king prawn dish and got frozen crayfish tails... I don't understand how anyone thought nobody would notice that. Meant to be an Italian restaurant that specialises in pasta and all the pasta dishes were piss poor. Waiting 45 minutes for a kids ice cream. Mac cheese (you'd think calling it Tony macaroni) would be their signature dish but it was plane macaroni pasta with melted cheese on it with no sauce... very strange considering its a "authentic Italian" that specialises in pasta... party of 12, not a single person or child finished any of it. Was in there for 3 hours and that was only mains plus 3 kid ice creams. Was only us plus another table of 2. Safe to say, no chance of return custom. Probably the worst food etc I've had in Scotland. Would of been safer and better buying a ready meal. Tony clearly hates macaroni or this guff wouldnt have been served up.

Staff were lovely but the gluten-free options were a joke. They only had gluten-free penne which they just substituted for the regular pasta. The carbonara didn’t stick well to the penne so it was penne in a garlic soup with nice ham.

This is only my second visit to a Tony Macaroni and both times I've enjoyed the food greatly. On Saturday night I enjoyed the Spaghetti Pollo Picante which I'll definitely be having again. Great portions well cooked. We were served by lovely friendly staff. Shout out to girl with pierced nose who was our server. Excellent customer service from her as well as a good laugh. I'll def be back (I've only deducted a point because the chips were slightly undercooked.)

Went to irvine restaurant last night with my daughter and grandson . Emily was our waitress she was very attentive and her service was impeccable as this is hard to find nowadays we were really impressed food was excellent and not too long to wait. First in a long time I've eaten a 3 course meal honestly a homely and friendly place x my grandson was a bit teary at first as he had just woke up Emily went out of her way to make him feel special so a special mention for her xxx

We normally go to Tony's in Glasgow & Largs which are always great but popped into the irvine branch for a quick lunch as we were out for the day. I got the penne arrabiata which is usually fool proof but not sure if the cook had a load of chilli's left that needed used up but my lunch was barely edible it was so hot. We had also got the garlic bread but it tasted odd with a strange aftertaste. The waitress was lovely but don't think I could be enticed to go back

The food was just OK. Realitively cheap and cheerful, but I wouldnt rush back. Portions are far too big and wasteful. I know that's part of the advertising of Italian food there and that you can bag it up and take it home but would rather smaller portions and give the extra to people that need it instead of likely wasting a lot per table, as didn't hear anyone want to take theirs home. Was also pretty quiet for a Saturday night.

Ordered some burgers about 6 months ago & although a bit pricey was amazing, quality meat, delicious ingredients & proper cheese! Last night decided to treat the wee man to something a step up from McD's & ordered a cheeseburger & hamburger. Was like night & day compared to last time. Found 2 bits of gristle in my burger & a thimble amount of cheese plus the lettuce was going brown!! Sadly TM has done what a lot of restaurants are doing now by increasing prices but using inferior ingredients/products to make a profit. Please save your money because have had better burgers at half the price!!

Have ordered before with no issue, food was always tasty. This time however when the food finally arrived (about an hour) later it was cold. By cold I mean stone cold, pizza was hard around the edges, chips were soggy and hard at the same time and pasta had turned totally stodgy. The food had definitely been made when we ordered and lying there until a driver was available I’m assuming. When googling the telephone number to report the inedible food, we seen the restaurant actually closed 2 minutes after our order was placed! Unfortunate as the food had to go straight in the bin, total waste of money.

Decent portion sizes. Masks worn below noses.. what's the point? Editing for fairness after owners reply. The food is really good and the portion sizes are better than you'd expect from the chain style restaurant. I'd much rather spend my money here than a Frankie & Bennies, for example. We visited again since my original post and again, masks worn, by what I think is the manager, under his nose. Either wear it or don't wear it, it sets a bad example when worn incorrectly.

Was surprised they have a massive sign saying breakfast but they have stopped doing breakfast... To me there was nothing on the menu that I thought was breakfast or a light snack....so I got a starter portion of calamari and a starter portion of pate on toast with a coffee. Pate seemed to be scraped on then scraped off....but you could taste it and it was well presented with salad and onion dressing The calamari was superb 👍 but not as good as the coffee which has to be the best in Irvine The staff where all pleasant and smiley without being annoyingly overly attentive . Needs a bigger typeface menu ... it was very small and needs breakfast type items. One of the staff pointed out the reason they gave up on breakfast is it did not have a good response, I get that but look at the surrounding restaurants that you cant get into at breakfast time....they all have brunch type things on their menus and a typeface people can read. In short I enjoyed my not breakfast and will go back when wanting a bigger meal or just for the coffee alone ...to me its that good

Quick visit on a busy Thursday night. Staff are good and decor is nice. Good menu and kids menu. Wide selection of drinks. Margherita pizza was simple and tasty. Pasta alla Puttenesca was very good but a measly portion, could have done with same amount of spaghetti again. Very expensive garlic bread with cheese: five thin slices of ciabatta priced and £5.50?! Very poor. Also both pizza and pasta were hot but served on very cold plates. Could be better with a few small touches. Pints of Peroni well pulled and good value.

I went for a meal with a group of friends as part of a Theatre package. The service was awful and we were late for the show. The attitude of the manager was not very professional when we put in a complaint infact bordered on being rude with no apology given at any time. I would not recommend this restaurant to any of my friends.

We live locally and visit often but it was a very disappointing birthday lunch today..... I decided to try the Penne Toscana but when it arrived it was only lukewarm. The Waitress apologised & took it back to the kitchen. After a couple of minutes it returned (same chipped plate, same meal with a poor serving of mushrooms) slightly warmer but still not heated through. It was tasty so I just ate it rather than cause a fuss. When the Waiter cleared the plates I mentioned an off putting piece of what appeared to be gristly chicken or sausage that was also in the (vegetarian) meal, he apologised after prodding it with my knife, none the wiser to what it was, however it had further spoilt my enjoyment of what could’ve been a tasty dish. No second drinks were offered, we had to wait until we were ordering our desserts to have another drink. Only 1 drink then arrived, we had to ask again for the other which then was offered to 2 tables before we got it. Husband was disappointed with the tiramisu which he said had no coffee flavour to it. Overall a very disappointing visit from a food and service aspect. We understand that staff change frequently however today it was obvious that new / inexperienced staff, lovely as they were, would’ve benefitted from support from senior staff to ensure good service and to deal with problems that arose.

Staff here are so helpful and friendly. Went out of their way to accommodate us. I called several times about dietary issues. Each time they would recommend something and said that if that didn’t suit person they would make them something else that wasn’t on the menu. Can not recommend Adesso highly enough.
