I tried Antonio’s Deli for the first time today and was seated in the far corner and was left for 30 minutes without asking if we were ready to order food or drinks. I had to get the attention of the staff to ask to make a drinks order, when our waters arrived they were in dirty brown marked glasses which were sent back. We then ordered food, when it arrived I received an extra portion of chips that I did not order. The “crispy chicken burger” i received was not as described on the menu, the brioche bun looked like it had been through the wars and the burger was no bigger than a chicken nugget which was cut through the middle, laid on top of the other and overcooked. The breadcrumbs on the burger to make it a “crispy” chicken burger, was that hard it was not possible for me to chew through it. The burger was meant to come with chipotle sauce but I received a small amount of plain mayonnaise instead. I also ordered cheese fries, these arrived in a deep bowl full of oil with a sprinkle of cheese on top. The chips were soaked in oil and I did not even eat these. My friend ordered the eggs florentine and what was meant to be “poached eggs” were not cooked correctly, leaving my friend feeling unwell. I was honestly shocked at the hygiene levels and the state of the food that was served. If environment health was to step into this deli they would be shut down. I will not be back. If I could put the review up as 0...
Read moreAfter trying several Falkirk restaurants, this has got to be the best of the lot. Located a very short walk from the retail park and train station, it is very ideal for a quick bite to eat or a longer 3 course meal.
First of all, the staff are very welcoming, friendly and most important of all happy! We were seated and had menus and a drink in front of us in no time. Our food order was taken by a happy and funny (and dare I say handsome) waiter called Tony. As soon as you walk in the front door, you would not believe you are in a city.
Me and my partner ordered the Italian sausage with pesto and the soup of the day which was bacon and lentil. Both were outstanding, and perfectly presented.
For main, we had the lasagna and the spicy sausage risotto. Again both looked and tasted amazing. Plenty of sausage is the risotto as well, not the small amounts you get from other Italians.
And for dessert, we had panna cotta and the chocolate cake, very nicely presented and, you guessed it, tasted awesome!
The portion sizes were generous, and we left full and satisfied. The cocktail menu is also very impressive and would definitely suggest you have a look at the selection offered.
Overall all, I can honestly say I have never eaten at a place like this before. Great decor, happy atmosphere and outstanding food. We both have never been happier with a restaurant...
Read moreWill never go back after our visit on 10/8 3 of us ordered panini's, one was cheese/ham and when it arrived it had tuna on the bottom,I took this back to THE MANAGER who was extremely rude and just kep smirking and was told I should have mentioned my granddaughter had a fish allergy!! No way is that right as we eat out out loads and never have to mention the allergy when ordering something that doesn't include fish! This was totally unacceptable as the fault was due to negligence in the kitchen!!! but her and her colleague were totally agressive blaming us and not once was an apology given!!! I asked what was happening and she said she had spoken to the OWNER, who never even showed face! I told her I wanted a print out if what I had ordered and she told me I would have to wait till she was ready, I told her so much for the customers always right, and was told the customer is not always right!! I was treated terribly by an incident that was totally no fault of mine, and not once did she apologise which is very bad customer service, we also ordered a latte which never appeared, and was told I should have told them, again no apology given, staff in this place need training on customer service and manners, totally disgusted and will...
