Portobello at Downtown Disney Launches Meatball Bar

July 23, 2010, 10:55 AM · Portobello, the Italian restaurant at DownTown Disney, recently introduced its rebranded Meatball Bar.

Tony Mantuano, executive chef at Chicago's Spiaggia and a Top Chef Master, was in town to launch the concept. He explained it to me in a video. Here's a link

Is this the first bar of its kind, or was it inspired by another location?
