Excessive volume of music, and very poor and low quality food. We paid 30 pounds per menu, and it was honestly a disappointing experience. I don't recommend it at all.

If i could rate it 0 starts i would. I recently visited Tony Macaroni with my significant other, and it was a TERRIBLE experience. My partner ordered the carbonara, and it tasted like play dough absolutely inedible. I had the lasagna, which looked like it had been microwaved and tasted sour/off. To top it off, the staff were incredibly rude, openly talking about customers within earshot. Definitely won't be coming back.

Booked table for pre-theatre dinner as recommended by work colleague. Arrived early and seated straight away. Place was absolutely freezing on what was probably the coldest night outside. The air conditioning unit seemed to be blowing cold air - had a cold draft blowing at my back the whole time. Had to keep coat/scarf on. Small oil filled heaters were dotted around but done nothing to combat cold. Drinks were received quickly. The chap, who may have been duty manager, took our food order but seemed distracted/disinterested and was looking all around him as he took the order. First course arrived and was served wrong item but I took it anyway as time was pushing on. Plates for both courses were cold so food cooled quickly Seemed rushed service and only one server bringing meals out. No sooner had previous course been cleared than next arrived. All in all not a pleasant experience and won't return.

We visited last night to a not so welcoming team of staff granted it was extremely busy. Angus grilled burger had been no where near a Grill it was 50 shades of gray and tasteless. pasta was was so cold making staff aware hot pasta was put down and 20%off bill but quality needs be better for the prices that you charge!!!

We had the most unremarkable birthday party at Toni macaroni last night for my 44 birthday. The party was knocked slammed a huge failure by us 9 people, and this failure was due in no small part to the weak work, weakness and lack of enthusiasm of the poor staff at Toni macaroni.

Very disappointing… chips were from the bottom of the chip pan, burger was tasteless, coleslaw - oh don’t get me started. Only saving grace was the sundae (Hot choc) but there were suspect “bits” in it. Will not be back. Oh and toilets need regular cleaning… dirty, no toilet roll and unused tampons lying around!!

Absolutely shocking.. Went this evening with my Girlfriend, we felt as if we were rushed to make a decision. We received our food very quickly- at first I didn't question this. I ordered lasagne and after a few initial bites it became clear that the lasagne was stone cold in the middle! I can only assume it was prepared so quickly and so cold in the middle as it was microwaved. We decided at this point to ask for bill and leave- when I asked for the bill , I told our server about my dissatisfaction with the meal. She simply replied "oh"- there was no solutions, apologies or discounts offered. If I could give less than 1 star I would- I would NOT recommend and I would not return.

Been to this place a few times and never fails to disappoint. Because of the noise inside the restaurant we decided to eat outside. My only concern is we would be forgotten about. But this wasn't the case. Drink came quickly and food order taken promptly. I loved my giant plate of spaghetti carbonara, I it was awesome. However my wife was very disappointed with her chicken burger. It was overcooked and very dry. The pizza ordered at the table also gets 5 stars. It was the hawian pizza, so I and it was great. We also ordered the Focaccia bread with rosemary and it was also delicious. Given we ate there without a booking on Saturday evening, the service was really top class. Highly recommend the Omni Centre restaurant.

we headed into Tony macaroni for a relaxing lunch, and unfortunately we got quite the opposite. music so loud it left your head pounding, service so slow(we were in there for 3 hours just for pizzas and drinks) and to top it off, a bone was found in the chicken on our pizzas. as we raised this with the staff, they hardly acknowledged it, and went on to laugh about it with the chef. we may sound picky, but the pizzas when they first came were cold!! and the alternative pizza that came was burning, only telling us how hot it was after we had touched the plate and got burned.chips where baltic!! when they actually came had to remind them twice!! shocking!!the staff thought they were funny, but in reality, they were quite rude, doing inappropriate things outside. not really the type of service you want in a busy public place. to be honest, i should have brought my dog, he would have enjoyed the bones!!

I’d rather eat poison than Tony Macaroni - I imagine I’d be tastier and healthier than this. In all seriousness, I had lunch on a Sunday with someone else, both ordered different dishes and both of us had food poisoning a couple of hours later. The place was almost empty even if they had a 2x1 offer, the service was incredibly slow, and the furniture was half broken. If you are a fan of war zones or you are in need of a laxative, come to Tony Macaroni!

Poor service I got an apology at the end as I refused to pay the service charge, I'm a food and Beverage manager I believe both your waiters need further training to better represent Tony Macaroni brand. Please managers address those issues and prevent it from happening again... even my table candle wasn't lit, shocking 😐

Wish I’d looked at TA before going here but it was Saturday night and we’d had a busy day (one of the teens didn’t want to go to Mama Roma’s as we’d been the night before - we wish we had!). Food was underwhelming and bland. Service was ok (in fact food came worryingly quickly which at least explained the anaemic colour….). Let’s hope anyone tempted to go reads the reviews first (and no, I didn’t say anything on the night a) the waitress didn’t ask if everything had been ok and b) the staff all looked about as old as my daughters and I wouldn’t want someone having a moan at them

As I was up from London visiting a friend, and attending a show at the Playhouse, next door, she suggested that we eat here. Service was excellent and way better than we get in London. Food was very good and the portion size was more than suffice. I would be happy to return again, when next up in Edinburgh. I had the macaroni cheese, and my friend had a burger, which looked excellent. Mine was very pleasant. For pudding I had the tiramisu and she had a sticky toffee pudding. Both were excellent and nothing wasted! I see some people complain about price. I’d say come and live in London, then complain. For the location and being in the city centre, what else can you expect? I was not complaining!

Awful! Not been in years and won’t go back. Still feel sick at the thought of it. Husband had chicken strips, they were green, greasy and looked like tree roots. I had “spicy” chicken wings, soggy and bland. Husbands pizza was nice but could have been cooked a bit longer as the base was really pale. I had chicken Milanese, it was swimming in sauce, the pasta was overcooked and soggy and the breaded chicken breast was greasy and soggy….a common theme. I left my whole main. The waiter came to take away our plates and asked how the meal was and i explained it was horrible. He seemed shocked and wasn’t interested and really quite rude. When we left, my husband saw him making a gesture behind my back to a fellow waitress. Avoid at all costs!!!

Met up with reletives from New Zealand. Two of us had the Funghi Fritti (breaded mushrooms with cheese) as I've had these before in the Glasgow restaurant. Very disappointed. They were very solid to cut into , very little cheese and tasteless. Definitely not the same as before. Main course was lovely. Pollo Cajun. On paying the bill I wasn't told about the service charge, £14.73 automatically charged to the bill. This I noticed when home and reading receipt . Service was average and I certainly wouldn't have left this amount as a tip.

Bad food and bad service. I found hairs in my food, the waiter said "oh sorry" and took my plate away. No offer of another dish or compensation of any kind, just the occasional glare from the waiter. Waitress came over 10mins later, who apologised when I explained what had happened, and offered another meal, which I refused, I also refused to pay for my meal. None of my family finished their food as hugely over salted (and put off by the hair!) Will never eat there again.

Went in for a bite to eat with a friend, she ordered a risotto and I ordered a steak. I ordered the steak rare but it was served to me past medium, so I asked if it were possible to have it fixed. They took it back. Friend commented on the risotto being incredibly bland and asked the server for salt as our shaker was empty, to which he directed us to the shaker and had to be off again. I was brought out a new steak. It smelled horrible, as if the meat itself was bad. I tried to stomach a bite, but the smell was horrendous, and there was no seasoning whatsoever on this meat. Not even salt. It was just bad meat. I spit it out, and asked for a check. The servers were sweet, but the food was inedible and nothing was fixed. To the risottos credit, my friend described it as “edible enough” which… not a great commendation. The server to her credit gave us a percentage off but I didn’t eat anything here, and my friend was incredibly dissatisfied, but we had tried to resolve issues twice already so we just ate the cost and went to a five guys nearby instead for fries. Overall, 0/10, def do not recommend.

Had a family day out with my 2 adult daughters and granddaughter . Placed our order for staters and mains together asking for them separately . Food arrived approx 20 mins later, both starters and main courses bar one main meal. Waiting staff didn’t seem interested when we said they were meant to be separate, just smiled and left. The chicken strips were soggy and greasy and left as I couldn’t eat them. Mozzarella sticks were large but obviously frozen and not very tasty. The lasagne was dry and had very little béchamel sauce and was inedible. The meatballs were dry and tasteless and inedible. I ate my mac n cheese only after seasoning it with a ridiculous amount of salt and pepper as it was so very bland! Asked for the kids icecream that was part of the meal deal and the server had to come back twice to check what flavour we asked for all the while the uneaten food was left on the table as he did not think to start clearing away. When the icecream arrived he took some dishes away then never came back. Had to be prompted to remove the rest by another staff member. Asked for the bill, and gave us someone else’s which took ages to sort. Left nearly £90 lighter and hungry. Very disappointed

We were so excited on one of our date days to eat at this restaurant after travelling to Edinburgh. Unfortunately when we said we had an Itison voucher, the service changed. Also, the food wasn’t the best. The mushrooms were tasty but the dip didn’t have any taste of garlic. The Bruschetta didn’t have any flavour of garlic either. The spicy chicken burger was slightly salty and the carbonara was very bland. At no time did anyone ask if everything was ok with our food during the time we were eating, and the restaurant was not busy. We felt like 2nd class citizens after saying we had a voucher, which means we won’t return. Poor show sadly, especially since we visit Tony Macaroni back home and it’s so much better.

Same with the pizza plate was cold after 5 mins ur eating cold food, the pizza is a wood fired oven pizza and the edges and bottom where white no crunch or the odd wee burned bits the way it should.. By simply hesting up the plates and cooking the pizza that little longer would have been spot on

Went as a party of 11 for my nieces birthday. Took ages for anyone to come and get a drinks order, and our food arrived before our drinks - big no no in hospitality. All of us agreed our food was bland, tasteless and awful. I had the blandest spaghetti carbonara I've ever eaten. My sister-in-law didnt get one of the dishes she'd ordered, my other sister-in-law found a hair and a piece of plastic in her risotto - the server took these off the bill but didnt seem surprised. "Chefs" (microwave operators) were just flinging food about, one of them on the phone for about 30 minutes and cooking(reheating) at the same time. Other staff seemed stretched and that they're used to the state of the place. They did sing Happy Birthday to my niece which was lovely, but gave us manky plates for the cake. Absolutely avoid this place!

First and last time eating at this chain. Food was expensive for the gruel it was. I hope when I got out to eat that it is at least better than wetherspoons because you at least know it'll be cheap and cheerful there. I got two tiny oval shaped burgers patties in my burger. I shocked me this place is still running. Food was not fresh but should I be surprised with a menu as big as my torso. If you want to compete with the market reduce the menu and focus on good food at a fair price. You'll thank me later Tony. I'd avoid or go to spoons if you're in the market for a cheap and cheerful dinner.

I love going to Tony Macaroni's in Dunfermline, so as we were staying in Edinburgh for a few days, I thought as it was my husbands 70th birthday, it would be good to have a meal there. How disappointing: Let's start with the restaurant that looks like it had seen better days with ripped seating & floors that hadn't seen a Mop in a while. When my husband asked why the floor area that we were sitting right next door, too and where the staff collected all the meals from was dirty . Staff replied, " I will get cleaned tomorrow " ! . Food : My husband ordered chicken in a mushroom sauce & I ordered Lazange, and it was delivered quickly & it was hot . But that's all you could say about it. The Lazange was just a load of ingredients put together in a dish . Staff : It is always lovely to see staff happy in their chosen profession, but there is a line between making sure the atmosphere is a good one while your customers are enjoying there meals & just plain larking about. It is a shame to think that the staff that work at this particular Tony Macaroni's thinks the name of the restaurant is enough that customers will return no matter what the service is like. Ps I must just comment on the female member of staff that evening who served us she tried so hard to be professional in difficult circumstances . Thank you.

Not been to a Tony Macaronis before so took our 2 sons there pre theatre and was overall a bit underwhelmed especially given what we paid. Ordered 3 pizzas, the macca cheese and a bowl of chips. Portions are decent. The chips arrived burnt and cold so I asked for a fresh bowl, and was given some, albeit a much smaller bowl. Tasted like oven chips. The Mac cheese was gobbled up although I was told mine at home is better! Pizza tasted nice enough but my capricciosa had what tasted like tinned mushrooms and not especially nice artichoke. Bill arrived with an automatic service charge and gratuity on top of what is already not great value for money. All in all, wouldn’t rush back to what was ultimately, at best, a forgettable meal. There are hundreds of great places to eat in Edinburgh and sadly, this ain’t one of them.

What was once a decent restaurant is now a husk of its former self. We had the penne contadina and rigatoni sugo di carne and both left a bad taste in our mouth. The taste was almost non-existent and the sauces were just not correctly made as they were just tasteless liquid. The service was ok though we had to ask to get some cheese on the pasta. Moreover, the restaurant has lost its past elegance and is quite loud now. Not sure what changed lately, but Tony Macaroni is nothing like it was a few years back.

Myself and 3 others went to Tony Macaroni at the Omni Centre in Edinburgh last night before seeing a show in the Edinburgh Playhouse. When we first arrived we were instantly put off by the loud music playing in the restaurant we could hardly hear each other speak. We ordered our meals, a few minutes later the waiter came back to tell me they had no lasagne, I was disappointed and shocked that a busy restaurant on a weekend had no lasagne but anyway I ordered something else. When our food came, the pizza that was ordered with pepperoni instead of Italian sausage came with no toppings at all and was just a plain cheese pizza. We ordered the Pollo alla Milanese and changed the penne arrabbiata to spaghetti arrabbiata but it came with the spaghetti carbonara instead which is not what we asked for. The waiter was too rushed and was not listening to us properly when we were ordering our meals hence the multiple mistakes. I don't think he could understand us either and should have double checked our order with us before walking away. I don't even think he wrote any of our order down. When telling him that our food wasn't correct, he still wasn't listening to us and could not understand our issue and he seemed to be too busy thinking about what he needed to do next. The Pollo ai Funghi for £16.50 was an absolutely rip off with the smallest bit of chicken breast ever. The only positive thing about our meal was our desserts which was a simple ice cream sundae that not much can go wrong with. When we received the bill at the end, we had been charged for the lasagne they never had as well as the meal I got instead. We left the restaurant not satisfied at all and very disappointed.

We've booked our table for 6.30pm , but We've arrived earlier (6pm). I asked to order some drinks while we waited we were told someone would be over. It didn't happen. We ordered our drinks and food at the same time. If our order was repeated back to us we may have identified an error. If the music wasn't unnecessarily loud the waitress might have heard us. Loud music in a busy restaurant doesn't build an atmosphere the busy humm of humans over background music can do the trick. All of our food arrived at the same time. Including the wrong starter. Which was then replaced for the correct one. We had already decided to eat our mains by then as the children were hungry. So we had sharing chicken wings gor dessert. The food was very nice but at no point was our table checked upon, or additional drinks offered. Yet your happy to put a service charge on the bill and question why I don't want to pay it. A hint: it's in the name "Service charge"

Food was very poor quality. The service was poor as well. Waste of money.

Ordered lasagne, arrived as a mass of pulp with no clear pasta or meat, just a lot sauce. The air conditioning was as cold as it could get, being 4 centigrade outside was warmer. Service was not informative enough for the size of the food, nearly didn't fit on table. Lovely house wine. Won't be going again.

Hard review as went two nights in a row. Pizza/garlic bread fantastic but risotto on second night disgusting and cold, hu by had salmon pasta which was also only warm. Staff are lovely and did put the risotto in the microwave to heat it up but still vile and warm at best not hot. I did let staff know when paying the bill but nothing they could do really. Won't visit again for a while. A bit pricey for what it is.

I’ve been there twice in the past. Didn’t like their pizza and macaroni cheese. Both tasted bland, like someone else has already mentiomed in their review. Went again tonight after watching a movie at the Vue in Omni Centre. All the other restaurants were packed, so I thought I’d give Tony Macaroni a third and last chance. The penne all’arrabiata were actually really good (hemce the second star)! The chips I had on the side weren’t completely done, though. But what has made me decide to never return to Tony Macaroni is the poor service! Yes, they were very busy and possibly understaffed, but that’s not my / the guests’ problem. I waited for about half an hour to pay my bill! If they don’t care about guests paying for their food, why not just say so? I did pay my bill in the end, of course, but wouldn’t be surprised if there were guests now and then who got fed up with waiting and just walked out.

I went here with a friend a few weeks ago before we saw a movie at Vue. I do not recommend going here. The food was expensive and not that good. I had macaroni and which I had to send back as it was so bland and bitty, I did get it taken off the bill which was good, but my friend had a burger which was also bland and not worth the price at all. We were really disappointed with the food, which is why we won’t be back. The servers were lovely and understanding, so it’s a shame that the food really let the place down.

Terrible, unfortunately. The chicken wings tasted like ash and the ribs weren’t any better. The staff was also inattentive and brought us bottled beer when we’d asked for pints.

Can’t fault the service but the food leaves a lot to be desired. It’s difficult to make Italian food so bland but this restaurant achieves it.

The cheeseburger was raw, the seafood pasta had unclean mussels with tube worms coming out of their carapaces on the outside of the mussels which were bland like the frozen prawns and clams it came with. The pasta was also bland and the sauce was very oily and lacking chilli even though it was the most expensive pasta dish I could see. The waitress gave us the wrong change all in pound coins with no notes then forgot to get our actual change after we politely asked. The worst dining experience I’ve had to date.

Service was spot on and can't fault it. Bbq chicken starter was OK and quite tasty, but we both ordered beef burgers from the pronto menu and they were pretty rotten. The chips were nice. I upgraded to sweet potato ones. They were lovely. The burgers (there were two in the bun) were dry and tough. They did ask when we were leaving, and I'm sure they would have rectified as staff were lovely, but we were in a rush to the theatre a couple doors down so didn't say anything. I'll try again, but maybe not the burgers.

Avoid at all costs!! Table booked for 1715 and we were seated straight away. Waitress took 20 mins to take order, 1905 still no food after asking several times to be told each time 5 more minutes. Asked to speak to the manager twice and he told the waitress no which I witnessed. Party member is diabetic and had taken her medication for eating. Had to leave without food at 1905 due to show. Absolute joke will not be back!

We all like a meal at Tony Macaroni. Pizza and pasta were delicious as was the starters. The minestrone soup was disappointing, guessing the chef was having an off day as normally delicious.

A busy Xmas night...but...waited an hour between starters and mains. Offered no apology and heard tbe waiter shout to kitchen staff the order that had clearly been forgotten. Asked if I wanted bill after our mains and when I said "no thanks" with still over half a drink left, was told "i'll get you the bill then". The bill arrived and was asked straight away if I was paying by card. No time to even check the bill. Paid by card and then went to finish drinks. Was then approached by another waiter and asked if I wanted to oay by card...again!. Was annoyed to see a 10% service charge automatically applied.

Seen this establishment a few times on our travels... Menu looked impressive, i honestly thought that my calzone would come out looking better than it did( I know it's about the taste)looked like something a 4 year old had thrown together...tried it and was disappointed. The food was bland and lukewarm the service was poor...expensive, but i suppose you are paying city centre price.

Went for lunch with friends and was disappointed to say the least. Waited ages for our drinks and food and our server was clearly run off his feet as it was so understaffed. The food was OK but definitely was overpriced for what we had. WiFi didn't work on either of our phones and couldn't hear each other very well as the place was very noisy and didn't feel like somewhere you could relax. Advice: save your money and go elsewhere.

Cold burger, sent it back and they brought me another cold burger. French Martini that was like slops. Sent it back and the 2nd was worse. Husband's pasta was okay but I went hungry. Paid £32 for 2 colas, a pasta dish, garlic bread and a pint of beer. Won't be back.

The antipasti caldi sharing plater is ridiculous expensive for what you get. Also tried the macaroni and cheese.... worst Ive ever had in my life. The waiters are useless, they leave all the food that is ready to get to the tables on the counter for 15 minutes or more (even ice cream). I don't know why people still going to this place. Don't waste your money here, go elsewhere.

Having specially booked a Christmas experience and really looking forward to it for ages as tony macaroni is my favourite restaurant...but got there just before our 3pm time. Was shown to our table and was given both the Christmas menu and the usual menu. We sat looking at the Christmas one and both decided on the soup. The turkey with all the trimmings and cheesecake. The waitress came and took our order. We were told oh sorry...no soup...no turkey. We are out. I said to her but we booked the Christmas menu especially. So i looked at the menu again and settled for lasagne... Oh sorry....we are out. I really was not happy. And if it wasn't just before Christmas then we would have walked out. But we stupidly stayed. The starters came. Which were really tasty. So good start. Then i ordered macaroni cheese...which came and it looked really cheap and nasty. Was undercooked pasta and no cheese at all. Just watery sauce. I did try to eat it. But only had afew bites before I was done. The waitress did eventually come over and ask if i wanted it redone. But I said no. Because i wasn't wanting another watery looking pasta so after we finished. Nobody really came around us to take our meals away.and eventually the other waitress came over and took our plate away. She was so lackluster and had absolutely no go about her at all except to say do we want anything else...and we said erm.... yes we had ordered a 3 course meal...and she said she would bring our desserts over....i could see our desserts on the counter...and they sat for absolutely ages and she made no effort to bring them to us..then eventually i was actually about to get up and get them myself and she walked past and i had to ask ber to go and get them the cheesecake was ok. But felt like she didn't want to be there...and frankly neither did we. No wonder it wasn't busy when everywhere else was. We won't be back.booking a Christmas meal...and nothing is available. then don't make a Christmas menu.

Customer service was poor. Myself and other customers were waiting 30 minutes after ordering for the meal to arrive. They add what is supposed to be an optional charge of 7.5% to the bill for staff. The bill was presented with that added. You would be in the embarrassing position of asking them to take it off the bill. I would not return.

Attended on the 13th of december and this place is definitely not worth £74.40 Staff touching food with their bare hands Hair in my macaroni, slow service, had to ask multiple times for a time of when food would be ready. Dirty looks from staff member's because I had to ask multiple times about our food. Would not recommend nor will I ever go back to any toni maccaronies again. Very disappointed and disgusted

Ordered online at 5.15pm, and was given an estimated collection time of 5.35. Went to the cafe next door to have a quick coffee, then went to pick up my order at 5.40, giving them 5 minutes grace, only to be told it would be ten minutes. Ended up waiting, along with another customer in the same situation, until 6.25. We asked numerous times for updates on where our food was, but just kept getting told 'soon'. Myself, and the other customer, had to go through to the restaurant side to try and get an update. I eventually got my food, nearly an hour after I'd ordered. Bearing in mind I'd ordered only 2 pizzas and a garlic bread, I have no idea why it took so long, especially when the restaurant didn't even look particularly busy. The food itself was basic, and not worth the price or the wait. I've had better frozen pizzas in all honesty. Used to be a decent place, but has went drastically downhill in recent times and won't be visiting again I'm afraid.

Al pasar, entré aquí y me recibió Robert, quien es el gerente. Ambiente muy agradable y Robert es obviamente feliz en su trabajo que se reflejó en su alegre y servicial manera. Recomiendo encarecidamente este pub que incluso tiene una explicación de su nombre en la pared.
