Tony's Restaurant, Belmont

While my previous review was for their takeaway pizzas, we finally got around to having a meal in their restaurant, which I feel was quite a different experience, warranting a separate review. I had heard so many people rave about this 'institution' and understand that many people return again and again, however I was a little disappointed.

Firstly, the service was very slow. We gave up on ordering dessert as we waited too long for someone to come and ask if we wanted anything else. In the end we went up to the counter to pay as we couldn't even get anyone's attention to request out bill.

Secondly, I felt that it was not great value. The pasta dish I ordered was ok, but nothing to write home about, and the serving size was very small. I am a small eater, so it wasn't too much of an issue, but it was what I would have expected as an entrée serve.

I think we will stick to takeaway pizza!

Went to Tony's for a girls night out. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and prices are very reasonable. Great Italian food, including great pasta dishes. My vegetarian and gluten free friends were also catered for. Decor is fairly basic, but is clean and tidy and the staff very friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back again.

Low key, popular and homely family restaurant. So far I have only ordered takeaway so can't comment on the service in the restaurant, but it is always busy. Pizzas are the best in the area - they use quality ingredients such as fresh ham, prosciutto, etc. Wait time is generally 20 - 30 minutes, with last orders taken around 7.30/8pm. Have only tried the pasta once and it was a little disappointing, compared with how delicious the pizzas are!
