Looking for a good meal like chicken parm... ect my kids are someone picky so Im not sure which one to do... Thanks
 
Without a doubt, I would choose Via Napoli!! This was one of our favorite meals last trip! Their pizza is DELICIOUS! We also had their chicken parmigiana and eggplant parmigiana. They were both great! I love eggplant parmigiana as a dish but I am typically disappointed when I order it at a restaurant. However, I was very impressed with what I ate at Via Napoli. Tony's and MM don't compare to how good VN is. :goodvibes
 
Here is my recommended order from best to worst. Via Napoli --> Mamas --> Tonys.

Wouldn't bother with Tony's, unless you like chicken parm with very little breading and soggy.
 
Via Napoli for sure. We love that place. The pizza is really good. The service is very good. And the ambiance is nice, light, and bright. It has a very different feel from the other two. We were never impressed with Tony's.
 

Don't go to Tony's. I had chicken parm there that tasted like they breaded a rubber chicken (the kind you see in joke shops) and threw it on my plate. It was terrible.
 
Via Napoli gets my vote. Mamas is very good, a very good 2nd choice. Tonys has been hit or miss through the years.
 
My kids would say Via Napoli, I would go with Mama's. Either way, you will have a good meal.
 
Via Napoli gets my vote. We loved our meal there last summer and we've booked a reservation there again for this summer. Can't wait! :banana:
 
In that order.
But only Tony's & Mama's had chicken parmesian.

I've eaten at all three of these...
And Tutto Italia.

At Tony's, my wife had the chicken parm [she was underwhelmed]. I thought it was OK. My pasta was way past al dente [I wonder what'd happen if one kept sending it back saying "I said al dente"].

At Tutto Italia, my pasta was perfect.

Pizza at Via Napoli was great.

No complaint at Mama's.
 
Everyone rips on Tony's, but when we were there in October, it was the best TS meal we had on property.

Of course, we're also from a place where the best Italian food is from Olive Garden.

I have not tried Via Napoli, but given the choice of the three you mentioned, I would choose Via Napoli based on the excellent reviews it has gotten from everyone I know who has been there.
 
DH had Chicken Parm at Via Napoli and it was SO good. Haven't tried Tony's or Mama, so I can't comment on those two, but Via Napoli is definitely on the list for our next trip!

TJEvans, you should try either Tabela in Hattiesburg or Biaggi's in Ridgeland. Both serve excellent Italian.

My vote is also for Via Napoli. Eaten at the other Via Napoli is our go-to place for Italian in WDW.
 
I've only had chicken parm at Tony's and it made my stomach not happy AT ALL.

I know you didn't ask but don't get the chicken rigatoni alfredo dish at Via Napoli either. The pizza was good there though.
 
VN!! The eggplant parmesan is the best and has spoiled me and is now the only place anywhere that I will eat the eggplant!

I concur! Via Napoli is one of our new favs and Mama's is always on our list. Tony's has been a "miss" for us the last few times, so it is out of rotation now! ;)
