Tony Macaroni Aberdeen — Restaurant in Aberdeen City

Disappointed. Family meal in Aberdeen Branch. Just popped in past to try and wouldn't waste yer money. Staff and waiter service very good probably because it wasn't busy. Ordered the pate to share which was very very poor. A dollop of cherry tomatoes and caramelised onions which was bland bland with toasted bread and a very poor tasting pate for 6.95.. three main courses.. Scolgio linguine, polio fungi and a bbq pizza for the little one. Poor Scolgio linguine.. Very poor Scolgio and lack of wine and garlic back bone stock along with the chilli flakes which disguised a very poor white wine sauce. Must of been 2 large prawns chopped up with poor sized mussels to laugh at. My partner ate half of the polio fungi and I tasted the sauce which tasted similar to a hollandaise sauce with plenty salt. The bbq pizza wasn't great either and was told by my step daughter I make a better homemade pizza ourselves. Best you do it yourself at home to be honest and thrown in a bottle or two. I don't mind paying any bill but for 1 poor starter and 3 dodgy mains and 1 round of drinks billed at 61.95.. Cmon folks.. Only praise to the waiter Paul and the manager on duty when I explained I only paid for what I thought it was worth which I still feel I overpaid... Not a stinge by any mains when it comes to paying for something that's good. Only gave 2 stars due to the waiter and manager being honest. As for the dining experiance.. I'm afraid I could show the so called kitchen staff a...

Tony macaroni was one of those places that was never recommend nor have I heard any proper reviews on the place apart from issues they have had in the past so I thought I'd go out of my comfort zone and try somewhere new. To start, we had the Mozzarella Fritta (moz sticks) and the Pate Della Casa (chicken liver pate). Both starters were lovely aside from struggling to actually swallow the moz sticks as the cheese was like glue and the cheese to breading ratio was completely off.

The mains, sadly didn't go down as well as the starters. Settling for the Trentina pizza and the BBQ Cipolla calzone. Starting with the pizza, the chef's need to release that rocket is a garnish and not a way to hide their dire looking food. Overly greasy and the same issue as the moz sticks, cheese sticking to the back of your throat like Spiderman's webs. Leaving us with a horrific sore stomach, and the constant feeling of wanting to be sick.

The calzone came out looking like a new born baby, all puffed up and ready to be popped. Once popped, it loses 90% of its size and revealing the thin layer of toppings on the inside. Very generic BBQ sauce like something you'd find in a poor kebab shop down some dodgy alley. To top it off, I asked twice if I was able to get a spicy mayo dip and did not receive any but was quick enough to add it to the bill.

Service wasn't too bad but think the damage had...

Came for lunch with family, we ordered our food and then patiently waited 35 minutes for our starters to arrive! It wasn’t overly busy at the time either

Starters were fried calamari, mozzarella sticks & a chicken salad - they were tasty but the chicken salad for £10 was pretty small.

Mains again took at least another 20 minutes to arrive. The toto pizza which had the tiniest amount of pepperoni and sausage on it. It was a large pizza but lacked toppings.

Chicken risotto was pretty bland and not creamy like it should be. The chicken thighs we requested with no chilli yet they came with chilli and were charred within an inch of their life. There was no sauce with them so we asked for some dips. Garlic Mayo wasnt nice at all and tasted like a cheap garlic runny sauce, although the sweet chilli sauce and the pesto was good.

Desserts arrived - sticky toffee pudding was dry, the tuttamella which is a traditional apple in Dili pastry dish was quite nice, but the cheesecake that came was not cheesecake at all. It tasted like a blamange and was so sickly, not to mention it was covered in strawberry ice cream sauce you give kids to put in their ice cream.

Bill came and they added on an ‘optional’ service charge which we asked for them to remove.

£130 and almost 3 hours later, we had finished lunch and all 4 of us agreed we would...
