Yes. If you go to any major city in Italy, you will probably see as many pizza shops as you would in Manhattan. They are just rectangular and sold by weight. All sorts of varieties too! A little different than you would find stateside, but unmistakeably pizza nonetheless. What you won't find in Italy are meatballs.

They sell hotdogs from ecoli carts in every major city in America, I sure hope we're not identified by that though.

No unfortunately our legacy in Europe is McDonalds, Burger King, and Starbucks.

What really kills me is that we actually saw some Pizza Hut shops in Italy. I really don't understand that marketing genius.

We will probably get to WDW in late October, so I'll make it a point to try out the transitional menu at Tutto Italia.

I'm betting Italian and some sorta of Pasta will be served.

This the website of the group running the new place. It won't be cheap that is for sure.

There resturant at DTD west was nice, but ridiculously priced even for Disney. The Uva bar isn't too bad though.

We just got back from a great weekend at the F&WF. We were able to walk in Sat night with a party of 8 which really blows my mind. I gotta say, they are hands down better now. They have removed many tables and now you can walk through the dining room without having to get intimate with fellow diners. The dishes were all superb and the wait staff was very professional (and Italian).
