Tony Macaroni — Restaurant in Great Britain

This was my third visit but my first for breakfast. Sadly it’ll likely be my last. Ordered full breakfast with links and fried egg. £6.75 is about average for a decent breakfast. Given the quality of this breakfast I’d say I ate the worlds most expensive potato scone! The mushrooms were soaked in garlic. Why? It’s breakfast! The beans were tasteless and had no tomato flavour whatsoever. The links looked great on first sight but were like a sausage skin filled with either oil or water. Or both. I had to spit it back out. (Graphic, I’m sorry). The 1 slice of toast was under the upside down fried egg. With the portion of butter to the side. Why? The egg made the toast wet and soggy and when I moved it the egg burst over the toast. No chance of using the butter. The sole slice of bacon was under cooked and cold. Needless to say this wasn’t a one off poor plate of food. We ordered two of them! Both identically bad. I recommend the pizza. It’s really good. The macaroni is fantastic. But biggest let down with main menu food is the overuse of raw sliced garlic in dishes. No one wants to chew raw garlic in their food. Maybe just an over exuberant chef on that day but spoiled food.

I would actively avoid their breakfast menu. Quality of produce is very poor. Zero flavour and taste.

Lunch/dinner menu I would say give it a try. Slightly overpriced on certain parts and above what you could pay in other local restaurants but if done right it’s really good.

Staff all seem nice and can’t fault their service standards. My only concerns are with food quality and the issues...

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...

Payed £63 for 3 courses and a bottle of wine , first they bring wrong starter out then only one of the two starters were edible ( the cheese sticks were way too bouncy and chewy) but the pesto chicken pakora was lovely! There's 1 star! Then we got the lasagna witch had next to no meat and wayyyy too much sauce and too cheesy tasted pretty bland, the carbonara was pretty tasteless and very dry, I then had to ask them to bring the parmesan cheese as they didn't ask, but thought ok it wasn't bad tasting just very bland, the desert was great both the frlruit cocktail and the sticky toffee pudding (that was amazing!) So there's the other two stars along with the service , I'm sure theres other stuff on the menu that's ok but afraid we won't be back to try, lovely inside and friendly staff so that's a bonus but not worth the price payed for the...
