Tony’s Town Square

Pretty cute and solid restaurant. No real complaints. Besides the lady and the tramp photos — it didn’t really scream Disney. This might be a positive thing for anyone that wants to step away from the hustle and bustle of Main Street. But I was hoping for a little more Disney Magic. What was bizarre was that there was no music playing or anything. The dining area felt loud. Positive note: it was easy to find. Our server Mark was such a sweetheart and did a great job. We didn’t have to wait long to be seated. Food tasted fresh. No one complained about it. AC was on and after a while it felt almost cold. What a relief though if you’re stuck in the hot sun all day! But honestly the décor felt dated. My children love lady and the tramp and they got the reference. Fun little restaurant but nothing that would make me go «I gotta try to get reservations here again!»

We loved the food and service at Tony’s town square.
Its besides the town square theater (Mickey Mouse and Tinkerbell). You can make reservation on the app and they will charge your card if you don’t show up.
We were seated at the time of the reservation. The menu is small (and I am assuming that it changes every season).
We tried the chicken Parm, Margherita pizza slice and soups. The food was good and the service was ok.

Food and service were good. I enjoyed the chicken Parm and thought it was a good sized portion. The wedge salad was so so, not cold enough and pretty small. Overall overpriced, but that’s Disney for you.

If you look past the charming 1950’s Lady and the Tramp themed restaurant and into your belly after eating at Tony’s you will find that it is was like «going on a date with a good looking guy that had no personality and sour taste.» The restaurant is charming. The waiting area has comfy seating (which comes in great appreciation after walking all day) with Lady and the Tramp playing. The restaurant itself has a cute open/​airy seating terrace, outdoor seating and a darker seating towards the back of the kitchen. Despite having reservations for our party of 8 and having tables available in the nicer open/​airy room, they sat us in the darker room towards the back of the kitchen.
Our party started off with complimentary rosemary bread with olive oil. The bread was soft and fresh! Our table gobbled it up quickly. For appetizers we ordered zucchini fries and calamari. The zucchin fies were fried with the tastiest sun-​dried tomato dip! The calamari were lightly fried with a garlic/​lemon aïoli sauce. Both appetizers were totally tasty (especially the zucchini fries), however we found them to be a small portion that was suitable for 2 – 3 people.
For a drink I cannot drink carbonated drinks and I wanted something with flavor. Luckily, Tony’s had raspberry lemonade. What was not so lucky was that the lemonade was a pathetic excuse of lemonade — super watered down with a lack of taste.
Six out of the 8 of our party ordered cannelloni, which all seemed to have liked. I ordered a simple margherita pizza and it was pathetic. On the menu it said it was «garnished with basil»… the reality was that it had TWO small strands of basil. I asked the server to bring more basil and he did (despite it taking 5 minutes). The pizza was pretty bland, the sauce was bleeeh and I can tell you that I have had better pizza at Pizza Hut (and I don’t even like Pizza Hut)… I mean seriously, how can you mess up pizza!!!
Our waiter was anything but special, but was okay. The other staff at Tony’s was terrible. We went to Tony’s for lunch and during one of the parades. I have a special cousin with autism who saw the parade and wanted to go outside to the patio of the restaurant to watch. So in between our enters and dessert my husband and I took him outside. The waiter rudely came over and told him that the patio area was for restaurant patrons only. We advised the waiter that we were patrons and were sitting at a table inside. The staff/​cast member then said that we had to be restaurant patrons who were sitting outside on the patio… Since the sun was scorching and it Orlando was bringing the HEAT, there was NO ONE seated outside and yet he told us we couldn’t stay standing there to watch the parade. So we had to exit the restaurant to catch the ending of the parade. So much for making the experience «Magical» for a kid with autism who WAS a restaurant patron who wanted to see the parade. Other staff members were pretty rude, like the hostess who was unapologetic and and answered with an attitude when we complained about our table not being ready after waiting 20 minutes after our reservation time (yes we were 5 minutes late and no the restaurant was barely half-​way occupied).
The only good thing about Tony’s were the appetizers and getting out of the hot Orlando sun and sitting in air-​conditioning to eat lunch. Otherwise, I would not try Tony’s again and stick to the Cinderella’s Table (if I could every miraculously get a table again to eat there), the Crystal Palace buffet or eating fast burgers at Peco’s Bills in Magic Kingdom. It was totally expensive for what it was, although I was expecting that it being Disney.
Like I said, Tony’s is like «going on a date with a good looking guy that had no personality and sour.» Its a cute restaurant with a great location, but the food lacks personality and has a sour staff.

Horrible food for the price.
Ordered chicken Parm and it taste like a frozen dinner. my friends had pizza and spaghetti and meatballs and both were all pre made frozen meals. Would not come back. But the service itself was great just the food was nasty.

Delicious! I really don’t have anything to compare it to as I’m just a local girl from Maui, but overall I left satisfied!

Nice place, a typical Disney restaurant. Our waiter was nice but he was also a bit much. Calling us the beautiful people and so on. When we were seated I asked if we could sit inside after away at the hot park and we’re told we would have to wait and go back to the lobby. Very pricey forest you got.

2 stars for air conditioning. Other than that a huge disappointed. Don’t eat here and save your money.

If it weren’t for starving patrons and the strategic placement of this restaurant I don’t see how this restaurant survives. They get an «A» for effort in terms of uniqueness but for Italian cuisine they make Olive Garden seem like 5 star dining. I had pizza for the kids, and though starving they refused to eat it. I had the pasta fagioli and it was basically canned tomatoes with pasta thrown in. The chicken parm was not terrible unless you count overcooked/​over-​salted pasta. The service was very good and they truly try their best to cater to you… but the chef should be fired.

I was very happy with our experience at Tony’s Town Square. You must understand that when you want to sit down and have dinner in the Magic Kingdom, you’ll need to reserve your table well in advance. I’m talking months (depending on the season, I’m sure) So it was very busy, but when we showed up for our 3:55pm dinner reservation, we only waited about 5 – 10 additional minutes to be seated.
The restaurant is conveniently located next to the front gate of the park and in the same building as the Mickey Mouse and Tinkerbell character meet-​n-​greets. It’s «Lady and the Tramp”-themed so you can expect your typical touristy Italian-​American fare, which I was more than pleased with.
«Lady and Tramp» was showing on a TV in the waiting area so many of the children (including ours) gathered around and were entertained while we waited for our table. It’s not often that the kids have something to do while waiting for a table, but this is Disney. Perfect!
The woman who checked our party in at the front desk informed me that any parties 6+ have an 18% gratuity added to the check automatically. Actually, that made it easier. I was glad for the heads-​up so I knew what to expect when I received the check.
Our waiter was attentive and helpful and patient: all of the things I need after traversing around the Magic Kingdom with two children for 8 hours. I was grateful how simple the menu and ordering was for us. We all ordered something different and most of us enjoyed our meal. The only exception was my daughter’s grilled cheese, which was made on a specialty type of bread (she’s a standard-​bread type of kid) and it was very difficult to bite into. I even had trouble! I didn’t realize this until we were leaving the table and I tried taking a bite out of curiousity (wondering why she hardly touched it). We really should’ve just ordered the one kids’ spaghetti and let them split it. It was plenty to eat for the two kids with the bread that is included in your order!
In fact, you may think about splitting your meal with somebody considering you can’t take your leftovers (assuming you’re headed back to the rides and attractions) The portions are generous enough (plus there are so many other things for snack and dessert around the park). Don’t get me wrong though– I found the prices to be very reasonable and fair! I was expecting it to be more expensive, even after viewing the Disney website. For a theme park, full-​service restaurant, I can accept these prices! We knew it was our one big meal of the day.
We were offered dessert, but again, we knew we’d want to get something in the park later on in the night, so we skipped out on dessert. But we enjoyed our food and our waiter was good to us.
There is a «Lady and the Tramp» fountain in the middle of the main dining area and it was a really nice place overall. If I ate there in a place exactly like this outside of Disney, I would’ve been pleased. I would recommend this place (and that you reserve your table well in advance of your planned Disney date!). I seriously don’t know if we’d try someplace different in the park on our next visit, or just go back to the place that we already know we enjoy!

We enjoyed our dinner. The view was great. We sat outside and times it right for the night time electrical parade. Everybody was very nice. The food was good. Not 5 star good, but it was good for a table service in the park. Prices where as to be expected at Disney, a little high but not outrageous.

I feel bad giving this place 3 stars.
I read reviews after making a reservation here. I was worried, the reviews make this place seem like it’ll be terrible. It wasn’t.
We had a reservation during a relatively slow time (during the Electrical Parade), and were seated within 10 minutes of our reservation.
I was disappointed that we were seated at one of the first tables open (I like to be farther in the restaurant to see more of it), but that wasn’t the deal breaker. Once our cast member waitress found out I was a cast member, she didn’t really do anything. Reminded me of a busy Applebees Waitress that forgot about us… but the restaurant was slow.
The Shrimp Scampi was really good. Huge shrimp, lots of garlic. The pizzas must be prepped early and left because they couldn’t change the toppings. My friend didn’t seem to care for his pizza.
The Pistachio Crème Brûlée was actually my favorite part of the experience. We split it 3 ways and it was rich and creamy and honestly, if I went back, that’s all I would order.
Not Disney’s best, and if you’re paying Disney bucks, you expect the best. I’d find a different restaurant. This didn’t do it for me.

Got to do my Birthday celebration here with my best friend yesterday. We had a reservation and got called in, you walk past the Lady and the Tramp fountain and get seated. The noise level was good, the servers were really hustling back and forth. Once we sat, our server got the drinks going — we both got a soda. My best friend ordered the heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil, and a balsamic dressing salad which we shared. The flavors of it were so rich that I wanted more. ($ 9.50).
They also put out four slices of this really nice soft bread with an abundance of olive oil.
For my meal I picked the cannelloni that’s filled with a mix of ground beef and sausage, mozzarella, and ricotta topped off with lots of chunky marinara and crème sauce (asked for some more on the side since it was not a lot which came with the meal) ($ 18). They must have these meals plated up and ready to go because it was just 6 minutes or so after placing the orders that our plates were on the table. It truly had a hustle and bustle feel. like they want you to enjoy your meal but don’t sit there for three hours afterwards.
For dessert, a pistachio crème brûlée ($ 6.50) was shared — sooo tasty!
Our server Bryant was quick with the jokes and had a great sense of humor. Only down note was my best friend had requested some special addition to be done to celebrate my birthday and it wasn’t done.

Hey, when at Disney, I expect to pay a little more, but I also expect the food to taste like it was freshly cooked rather than out of a can.
Chicken Parm… their «specialty». The chicken tasted like the oil it was deep fried in. The mozzarella was the kind you find on frozen pizza. Sauce? No. Sauce was on the spaghetti and it tasted like it was right from a can. No seasoning and kind of tart.
The deserts were really good (I had the Pistachio Crème Brûlée and my husband had the Chocolate Hazelnut cake), and that’s the only reason I gave it the two stars on this review.
Unimpressed. Disappointed.

The pasta was coked perfect. The sauce was really fresh and the chicken was nicely breaded. Solid parm. Only knock would be the Chicken was a tad dry. This is a Disney place so it is pricey and in my opinion not worth what they charge but actually moderate for Disney restaurants. Portions are large and they give you nice bread and oil so careful with ordering the starters and a main.

We decided to try Tony’s on our first day at Magic Kingdom and you know it’s a bad restaurant when the same marinara sauce is being served with the calamari, chicken parmigiana, AND cannelloni.
We paid a whopping $ 65 for two people for the same sauce on everything and we still cringe when we think of this place.
Only good thing was the view for the daytime parade and AC. Please avoid this restaurant if you can. A prime example of a terrible theme park restaurant.

On our excursion to the Magic Kingdom we opted to eat at Tony’s for dinner and it didn’t disappoint. The location of the restaurant makes it easy to find and if you time it right you have great seats for parades. More on that to come later.
We booked our reservation through the MyDisneyExperience weeks in advance. We waited about 10 minutes when are names were called. To our delight we were seated outside upfront. Ambiance was nice and the restaurant clean.
Food was quite good. I ordered the NY Strip bit came with garden carrots on a bed of tomatoes and croutons. My daughter ordered the spaghetti and meatballs the latter being the highlight of the two. We wound up wrapping dessert moments before the beginning of the Mainstreet Electrical Parade. Our view was wonderful and we didn’t have to battle with the crowds.

Based on Lady and the Tramp, Tony’s Town Square is located in Main Street, USA. It’s right near the park entrance. So if you’re unlucky enough to have reservations around parade time, it’s probably going to be a hassle for you to get to the restaurant (since that’s the area where the route starts). On the bright side, if you make it and they seat you by a window, you get to catch some of the parade action from your table.
My family and I had reservations at 8:15 and only had to wait about 10 minutes before being seated. They accept the Disney dining plan here. They don’t serve any alcohol here (but they also don’t serve it anywhere in Magic Kingdom), which is kind of nice. I guess it shows that making money isn’t the only thing Disney is interested in.
But onto the food! I ordered one of the specials of the day, which was some kind of seafood pasta that had shrimp, mussels, calamari, and clams. It came in this tomato (based) sauce, which was way too salty for my taste. It would have been good otherwise.
The best part of the meal was probably the dessert. Most desserts I’ve been having throughout the Disney parks had been overly sweet. And yes, I get that desserts are supposed to be sweet but at the same time, they’re also not supposed to give you cavities. So the dessert at Tony’s was a nice change of pace. I had the tiramisu, which was really good. But it was nothing compared to the pistachio crème brûlée (which my parents ordered). As soon as I tried a bite of their dessert, I wished I had gotten that one instead. You could really taste the pistachio flavor in there.
Word of advice if you do come to Tony’s? Skip the food and go straight to dessert!

Meh. Of all the sit down places we’ve been in Disney, I have to say this is one of the poorest all around. The food is very so-​so, no wine (no alcohol period!) and the service is by far the worst I’ve experienced in any Disney restaurant.
They start with bread and oil– and it’s so gross. My ravioli was ok, but in such heavy cream I couldn’t even come close to eating it all. Dessert was a pistachio crème brûlée, which was actually the highlight on the meal.
The service was poor. No one ever came by to check our drinks. They weren’t particularly friends, either… It’s Disney for goodness sake. I don’t want them to be singing and dancing on the tables, but if like them to at least act like they kind of like being there.
Overall, it’s a solid three star place. I don’t think we’d come back here.

Pretty great restaurant in the middle of Magic Kingdom. With the deluxe Disney dining plan, we were able to choose one appetizer, one entrée & one dessert.
The appetizers are no joke.. Seriously they are a sharing potion. we each had a full size appetizer (plus the bread and oil they brought out)!! Needless to say, we were full before our meal came out.
Appetizers:
Fried zucchini
Calamari
Tomato and mozzarella salad
Verdict: Yummy! The calamari was light, no chewy & definitely fresh. The tomato & mozzarella salad had light basil slices & a balsamic sauce on top. Truly delicious and a very refreshing bite. Now, the fried zucchini and the sauce that accompanied it was probably the best of the apps. Crunchy, flavorful and delicious!
My meal was spectacular! NY Strip with potatoes and carrots. The steak was prepared properly with the right amount of seasoning & the veggies were also prepared well.
Please.. If you’re not allergic to nuts, have the pistachio crème brûlée… SO AMAZING!
Service was great, food was great… Tonys is a must!
