Tony Macaroni - Edinburgh, City of

Where do I begin. Restaurant freezing I mean so cold the waiting staff were wearing parkas! I kid you not. Service was appalling. After 50 minutes we had drinks and no food. Tables were sending back food and there were obvious arguments between waiting staff and kitchen staff. When we asked how long our food would be we got a shrug in place of an answer. Hungry grandchildren and fear that we would never actually get food we left and went to Pizza Express. A warm restaurant with excellent staff... and more importantly food! What a disgrace of a restaurant Toni Macaroni is. A word of apology and explanation would have helped but the staff could obviously not be bothered. To sum up my experience disinterested staff, freezing cold (seriously you need to take a blanket! , a truly awful experience. My advice DO NOT GO HERE ... EVER! 1 star is too much but I can't give zero.

We had our granddaughters at this restaurant earlier today for lunch we were slightly early but we were allowed to sit and wait the fifteen minutes till lunch. The service was excellent and the meals too a very nice place to enjoy precious time with our grandchildren .Will visit there again

Have been here twice in the last month. Both times arriving between 5.30/6pm so taking advantage of the value menu up to 6.30pm £4.95 for a main course. Good value compared to other restaurants on the park. Reasonably tasty food though nothing special, Pizzas are a hit as you get a 12 inch one on this menu, Waiting staff are very friendly and reasonably efficient although both times it wasn't busy so not sure how they cope when very busy. Very slow with drink orders. Waited half an hour for second lot of drinks on both occasions and had to remind them. Very strong smell of burnt garlic on second visit, causing a huge coughing fit and streaming eyes and I had to go outside for air. Kitchen is all open to the seating area so gets quite smelly. Overall not a bad visit. Cheap and cheerful. Nothing special.

I see people giving some negative reviews but they just aren't treating the visit properly. If you go before 6.30pm during the week then it is AMAZING value compared to the other restaurants in the area which are way overpriced. You can get any 12 pizza for £5.45 or a variety of pastas and some other Italian dishes. I have been to this one twice and the waiters have been great and funny and importantly Italian.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon, mother 's day, without a booking. Promptly given a table by polite staff member. Ordered the Funghi Fritti mushroom stuffed with cheese starter. Was very nice although present on a plate much larger than necessary so it didn 't look most appetising. For mains my partner had the penne arrabiata this was nice! Good sized portion, hot enough, very garlicky. I ordered a pizza, Caprina goats cheese, spinach, sun blush tomato and mozzarella I asked for without the onion. Previously at another site the pizza was delicious, however this time the base was very soggy. So much so I only ate half the crust and the toppings. Staff said 'oh was it ' when I mentioned it when asking for the bill.
