Tony's Town Square Restaurant

Went to Tony’s on 05.06.25. This used to be my favorite restaurant. I grew up going to Disney every other year, and I always made sure we went to Tony’s 1 to 2 times each trip. So, I have been to Tony’s at least seven or so times, but this will probably be my last time. They used to have amazing gluten-free bread and pasta, but they have changed it. I did not make it through the bread, which was cold, dry, and tasteless, nor did I eat much of the pasta. I got the Gluten-free Fettucine shrimp, which was sub-par at best. I did not make it halfway through; the shrimp was overcooked, and a few looked off. My sister, who was with me, said Olive Garden was better than Tony’s. I was incredibly disappointed with the downgrade in the gluten-free options here, and I'm sad to say that Tony’s is no longer my favorite restaurant.

Shoutout to Mohamed, our server. Hands down one of the best service experiences I’ve had at a restaurant. My 2 yr old daughter spilled her lemonade and of course he brought another, but he noticed the reason why she spilled it was because she was trying to eat the ice… so he brought a separate cup of ice for her. My wife ordered a side of apples with her kids pasta, and he overheard my daughter saying she wanted grapes instead… so he brought out grapes. You can’t teach someone to care and to have that kind of attention to detail and it was genuinely appreciated. The food was delicious. We both got the short rib. My wife has celiac and they offered to use gluten free pasta for just about every dish except the rigatoni. Thank you Mohamed and the Tony’s staff!

Would not go again. Server was good. Everything else was meh. Our appetizers took over 45 mins (soups..) and other tables who arrived after us were eating meals and receiving wine service before we had to inquire what was going on with our food. Only to get a response that “they have a system in place”. Soup was good flavour once it arrived but not super hot. I have an allergy and ordered dairy and egg free spaghetti - after our server telling us that the normal noodles don’t contain egg we were surprised to receive the gluten free noodles - they were disgusting. We might as well have ordered porridge. No quality check was done. So we ate it because we were so hungry. Yuck. And to top it off, the manager comes to talk to us about our experience and we address our concerns, softly of course - we are not ones to complain and work in the industry but this was unacceptable - and the manager tells us that the gluten free pasta has been getting terrible reviews and that the cook is overcooking the pasta on a regular occurrence. They still put it on our bill. We would have rather eaten a hot dog outside.
