Mama Melrose or Tony's

[TanyaNMJ]

Being from the northeast (like myself) you are better off just skipping all the "italian" restaurants in WDW. Tutto is a fair attempt at good italian, but not if you're used to italian food from the NE. I would rate it as an upscale Olive Garden at much higher prices! Just my two sense

Thanks. Think we'll do that. Hate to sound like I know it sounds, but anything like Olive Garden is not really acceptable to us!

My wife is 2nd gen NY Italian,95 yr old mama lives with us and still cooks occasionally.I am military brat and ex-Navy lived and travelled all over Europe and Middle East.Both foodies with discerning palates.That will color my rec.

You may not like Tutto,the food tasted good but portions were inexcusable considering the price,the dessert was miniscule..The antipasto was was awesome and huge tho.We will most likely never return as Mulino is far better fine dining and the others less expensive on the pedestrian side.

Tony's food is OK,we go occasionally.The loster soup I had last time was great,antipasto was good.Desserts are good.Entre's are iffy at times.

Mama's is good.Priced about what a chain would cost and smells good inside.Had about everything there the mussels,flatbreads and dessert stand out in memory.

We have eaten at all three in the last 6 weeks.We look at the food pix threads a lot in deciding where to go.

I know people rave over it but Tony's was HORRIBLE. Bad food cold and soggy and my chicken parm was just vile its making me gag thinking about it. Service was slow and the woman we had was just plain rude to us. She hovered the whole time we were sorting out the bill to see what tip she was getting and she did not get one. I tip most places but I only tip for good service and that by far was some of the worst service I have ever had. I even tipped a guy that spilt a cafe late over my cream skirt (not his fault) because other than that and then the way he delt with it was worth a tip.

We had a mediocre experience at Tony's -- blah food and poor service -- but a very nice meal at MM. The flatbread pizza and pastas were all good, and service was attentive. MM is certainly our family's favorite sit-down at DHS

i was going to the exact same thing! Tonys for us was actually worse than mediocre it was awful! i had to go because of the lady and the tramp "THEME" which there was none of!
