After three days of theme park food, this was exactly what we needed. Real food, real atmosphere, and free parking right outside. The caprese was the freshest I have ever had.

No pretension, no attitude, just amazing food and warm service. The bruschetta was perfect and the brasato melted in my mouth. Cannot wait for Magical Dining.
