Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the portions and the pasta, with the spaghetti carbonara described as rich and creamy by one diner, while another found the same dish swimming in oil. Pizza gets steady approval, one calling a thin crust pizza delicious and hot, and generous portions come up repeatedly. Close behind are desserts, with sticky toffee pudding and a breadsticks dessert with warm sticks and plenty of dipping sauce both called big and tasty. Service divides sharply. Some praise staff who remembered an order without writing it down and swapped a wrong drink instantly. Others describe a long wait for drinks, finished plates left sitting, and a bill awkward by the added service charge. One group faced shortages of ingredients and cutlery plus a broken coffee machine. The most serious complaint involves greasy calamari, a bolognese with barely any meat and a calzone drowned in sauce, after which the restaurant's reply was that the dishes were meant to be that way.

“Exceptional Dining Experience at Tony Macaroni. We had an absolutely fantastic meal at Tony Macaroni in Dundee. The entire dining experience was flawless from start to finish. The Food & Desserts: * Spaghetti Carbonara: Rich, creamy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to absolute al dente perfection. * Chicken Breast in Creamy Pepper Sauce: Incredibly tender chicken paired with a bold, velvety, and deeply flavorful sauce. * Sticky Toffee Pudding: Served in a large portion, incredibly tasty, and the perfect sweet conclusion. The Service & Atmosphere: * Efficient ordering: Staff took our orders quickly right after we were seated. * Fast drinks: Refreshments arrived at our table almost immediately. * Attentive team: The staff remained highly attentive, helpful, and welcoming throughout. * Impressive pacing: They maintained great service and speed even on a busy Sunday night. Tony Macaroni Dundee is highly recommended for top-tier Italian comfort food. We will definitely be returning soon.”

“Staff and manager provided great service under poor circumstances out of there control Shortage of many ingredients to complete orders from menu to the point it became laughable . Then coffee machine not working ? Then told there was a shortage of cutlery. Food that did come was ok and edible. Was told head office where not ordering enough supplies Very disappointed family gathering for six people from out of town . If you can’t fulfill orders tell customers before you seat them .”

“This place is alright. Nothing fancy. The food was ordinary but a bit pricy for the taste. The portions are big, a starter will fill you up no problem. Waiters are polite and friendly and ready to help. I personally hate the interior, too stuffy and dark. The tables are too high up and the booth’s are chunky and just make it feel cheap. Unless you’re sitting by the windows, you’ll find the seating area a bit dark and soulless. It’s alright, it’s not an experience you’d remember. It’s also not one you’ll complain about.”

“Group of 9 parkrun tourists turned up with no reservation. Great service - thank you Sophie. Very accommodating. Note service charge of 10% is added and you can only split the bill 6 ways according to the menu,”

“I did consider making the service a 4* but it’s stayed at a 5 due to ordering to Pints of Cola but was brought water. When the waiter who delivered the water noticed we were confused they asked. We explained and it was swapped over for us instantly and with no fuss. The food was incredible. The atmosphere and staff were amazing and we were amazed there is still waitresses and waiters that can remember an order without writing it down. Definitely recommend this place. And WILL be visiting again. There is options to walk in or book a table. Thankfully we were able to just walk in and be seated for our food.”
