\"Fountain\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tony\u2019s Town Square Restaurant<\/a> is located on Main Street U.S.A just inside the entrance of the Magic Kingdom. \u00a0It is tucked away at the side of Main Street and chances are, you may have breezed right past it without even noticing that it was there in your rush to get to the rides. \u00a0In all of my trips to the Magic Kingdom, I had never been inside and decided it was time to give it a try.<\/p>\n

One thing I really liked about the restaurant was the decor. \u00a0In the age of Disney princess everything, it was nice to see this classic get a little bit of attention. \u00a0A fountain featuring Lady and the Tramp is the centerpiece of the main dining room and the walls are adorned with photos of movie scenes and characters. \u00a0The decorations are a simple but nice tribute to the film. \u00a0There is even a TV in the lobby where the movie is playing and you can watch if you have to wait for a table.<\/p>\n

We made a reservation ahead of time and waited less than 5 minutes for our table to be ready. We were seated in the back corner of the main dining room which is a nice spot for people watching. \u00a0I had read some negative feedback about the service at this restaurant, but we experienced great service. Our server greeted us right away and was very attentive throughout our meal.<\/p>\n

Even though I usually go for a pasta dish at an Italian restaurant, I decided I wanted something a little bit different from the usual and ordered the meatball trio. \u00a0The meatball trio consisted of 3 slider-type sandwiches made with a thick slice of meatball topped with marinara sauce and provolone cheese. \u00a0They were served with homemade potato chips on the side.<\/p>\n

I liked the flavor of the meatballs, but the sauce was just ok. \u00a0I am not sure what it was about it, but the taste was different from most marinara sauces and not necessarily in a good way. \u00a0We loved the chips and thought it was a nice touch to serve homemade chips rather than a store bought brand.<\/p>\n

My mother chose the Margarita pizza as her entree. \u00a0The pizza was thin and crispy with a blend of cheeses that went together very well. \u00a0I am not sure if the pizzas usually arrive without being pre-cut, but ours did. \u00a0We asked for a steak knife to cut it, but found the tough crust really difficult to cut. \u00a0We both still liked the pizza despite having to wrestle with it to try to cut it.<\/p>\n

After finishing our entrees, I ordered the pistachio creme brulee for dessert. \u00a0The presentation of the creme brulee was pretty boring, but it tasted good so it didn\u2019t matter. \u00a0It reminded me of the pistachio pudding I used to eat as a kid with a crispy layer of sugar on top that made it even more yummy. \u00a0I thought it was a good choice, different from most of the desserts I have sampled.<\/p>\n

Tony\u2019s Town Square Restaurant has a quaint feel that is charming and relaxing. \u00a0While inside, it is hard to believe that the hustle and bustle of Main Street is just steps away.<\/p>\n

My favorite place for Italian food at Disney will always be Via Napoli or Tutto Italia at Epcot, but overall, we enjoyed our visit to Tony\u2019s. \u00a0Our lunch break left us feeling refreshed and ready take on the rest of the afternoon.<\/p>\n
