Tony Macaroni - Glasgow City Centre — Restaurant in Scotland

As I stumbled, weak and weary Searching for a pizza near me Tumbling past Glasgow's many numbered doors

Suddenly, around a corner, An eatery laying dormant Called to me to taste it's wonders And to grace its brightly checkered floors

My friend asked to go in I said "sure"

The waitress was a small Italian Born in Glasgow named Natalia She'd met many Irishmen just like us before

We said hello to start our meeting Not easy for lunch time was fleeting And as part of our formal greeting She asked us to sit at a table for four

We said "we are two And four is two more"

Clearing this brief misunderstanding (An undertaking undemanding) She led us to be seated at a table And then the restaurant my eyes explored

A Southern italian styled construction 'twas a perfect haven for a European luncheon And would make for fine pizza consumption Of this I was sure

Natalia handed us our menus And through the papers did we leaf through Deciding our meals before the curfew Upon which Natalia would return

For my companion, one calzone And thus the onus was upon me To decide for which flavours of Tony Macaroni My taste buds might learn

But the pizza I already decided Would I discern

She laid the dish with care before me And like pollen to the unfed bee The pizza lit my eyes with glee And thus my lust was born

A margarita, base Sicilian Made the meal upon that evening A glass of coke upon the table was the side adorned

I tore with ease through dough and sauce My friend consumed his doughy broth And upon cessation Natalia brought The bill before our seats

Quoth the waitress "10.93"

I scrambled through both of my pockets For my tenner but found I lost it And despite the urgency with which I sought it I realised from my grips it was shorn

Then suddenly a terror gripped me For I could not pay the lunch fee And dread filled my heart and shook my boots As my constitution was torn

I looked up to my eating consort And to him my woes I made report And of the situation did he make good sport Laughing at my face

"Don't worry bro, I've got twenty eight Pound"

And thus did I escape that which held me The hardened hands of Tony Macaroni After this we left happily To our hotel once more

But every now and then I feel him His clutches cling and seek to steal me From my slumber after a dinner pizza A food coma from which I might never awake

Were it not for my friend possessing...

Where do I even start? I've been to many Tony macaroni's and this has to be the worst of them all by a mile and the reason is the last part of my review

Last weekend me and my sister decided to come here for food before a concert cause it's easy and comfort food to us

Started off good by just walking in and being able to get a table straight away, drinks were taken about 5 mins later (two milkshakes) waited another 5/10 mins for them. The restaurant itself wasn't busy when we walked in, maybe 8 other tables. The drinks came and they weren't even half full.. but we thought okay it tastes good but we won't say anything.

Girl who took our order didn't seem to have a clue what she was doing, or what pasta we ordered as 10 mins later another girl came over and asked us what we had ordered.

Food came out about half hour of us being there (gepate style two half pizza and pasta and a bowl of chips) Our chips were taken to another table opposite us who had only just sat down 5 mins before. Right enough they came over and apologise and made us a fresh bowl. The pizza was good, had a nice taste but the pasta was flavourless at best. The chips came but were absolutely drenched in the cajiun seasoning so we weren't able to eat them. The portions of the food themselves were very small comapred to the ones I'd get at the same restaurant back home, but we didn't complain about anything.

We then ordered two ice cream sundaes as we always do whenever we go to a restaurant and to call it ice cream is generous. It was hard to even scoop onto the spoon, it had bits of ice in it and it tasted like it had been sat in the freezer for months upon months.

When the bill came, we we noticed that there was an 'optional service charge' on the receipt. When the girl came over with the card machine for me to pay, she never even asked if I wanted to add it on or not so we got charged the extra £6 odd pound. Now I might be wrong in saying this but I've never heard of such a thing at Tony macaroni. I've been to plenty in many cities and this is the first time I've ever came across a service charge and especially NOT to be asked if you want to pay the 'optional' service charge considering its OPTIONAL... baffled me

Never in my life have I been so disappointed and upset with a restaurant. This was the worst experience I've ever had and will NOT be going back or recommending...

I had booked a table for my sisters hen night. Arrived at 7.15 to be greeted by your table isn't ready as your early. I pleaded that the table was intact booked for 7.15, the man proceeded to state it was 7.30 and said ill show you the booking myself. He then briefly apologised when I showed my confirmation email. As it was a large party, I had emailed the order the night before to help the kitchen team and also so save time. I was then led to my multiple tables....it would have been great to know they couldn't accommodate us together as I would have booked elsewhere. Not wanting to spoil my sisters night I went along with it.

I was then confronted by the fact we couldn't pay the end bill separately, I'd have to pay it all or gather cash from everyone myself as they could not have "20 odd transactions" I was then faced with a further challenge that my party could not buy individual drinks, we where refused and there method to resolve this was by offering tap water!

When we eventually begun being served our meals it was 2 hours from when we arrived (bearing in mind they had our orders) it took around 40 minutes possibly more between the 1st and last people being served. 2 meals had to be returned as they were unfit to eat.

The toilets where horrendous and flooded with toilet water. This was reported to the team which they where aware of.

As I had to pay the bill myself as stated above I did not realise nor was I given the opportunity to accept or decline the "optional service charge" which has been added to my bill after such an awful experience I would have declined.

What shouldn't have been the start of a wonderful evening, as the main organiser it was an...
