REVIEW: Is It Time to RETHINK the Magic Kingdom Restaurant Everyone Loves to Hate?

It’s no secret that we love cheese. We’ve written about it A LOT.

Tony’s Town Square

There is certainly no shortage of cheese snacks in Disney World. We LIVE off corn dog nuggets with plastic cheese sauce. We love a good charcuterie plate with a variety of cheese. Cheesy bread is OUR JAM. So when we discovered that you could get foot-long mozzarella sticks in Disney World, YOU KNOW we had to check it out.

Okay, so a little background. It’s also no secret that Tony’s Town Square Restaurant in Magic Kingdom is not at the top of our “Best Restaurants” list in Disney World. But Tony’s sucked us back in with its Foot-Long Mozzarella Sticks. This is Fried Mozzarella with Spicy Creamy Tomato Sauce for $15.

They’re a foot long!

Okay, we have to show this to you because LOOK at how these things are just OOZING cheese. That gooey cheese works so well with the fried, crispy outside of the sticks, too. But we’ve got a word of warning for you.

LOOK at that cheese

It’s the sauce. Okay, so it says “spicy” creamy tomato sauce. Well, it really IS spicy (and not just “Disney spicy”). As in, we were reaching for our water glass quickly after. However, we confirmed with a Cast Member that you can ask for the sauce or the side or ask for plain marinara sauce if you don’t like spicy foods or have kids who won’t like spicy sauce.

The spicy sauce IS spicy

With that being said, this is a solid appetizer or snack, so there IS a reason to go to Tony’s Town Square right now. Although the garlic bread here is pretty solid, too, so let’s take a moment to talk about THAT while we’re here.

We’re gonna be honest. Tony’s Garlic Bread For The Table (toasted ciabatta with roasted garlic-butter and parmesan fonduta) was GREAT! In fact, we mighttttt like it better than the Fried Mozzarella. We loved that fondue. It’s garlicky and has a lot of warm parmesan in it. And the bread itself has a nice, crispy, toasted texture and is well-seasoned. You can’t go wrong with garlic bread, right? Try it for $13.

There’s also a new Tortellini al Forno, which is Calabrian chili and cheese tortellini with baked Italian sausage, onions, peppers, and mozzarella in a creamy tomato sauce. This one is $28, and look out! It’s a little on the spicy side.
