Just the DH and I on this trip! Looking for a good Italian restaurant on site. What do you all think?
 
Our favorite is Via Napoli. The pizza is the best on property and the pasta dishes are so delicious! I also love the desserts there - Zeppole di Caterina is one of my favorite desserts in WDW.
 
Only been to Via Napoli 4-5 times. Very good pizza. We like it for lunch. For dinner, it was just ok. The restaurant is very loud. The chicken parm was super thin. It was served with potatoes. Seemed weird to me and I left hungry. The marinara is tasty. My husband says it tastes just like his grandmom's! He loved the spaghetti and meatballs. The tiramisu was delicious. We are going to try Tutto Italia this fall.
 

We enjoy Via Napoli, Trattoria Al Forno (we had a great experience there despite all the mixed reviews I read beforehand) and Mama Melrose.
We ate at all three of those places last summer and if I had to pick a fave it was Trattoria!
 
Via Napoli or Tutto Italia, but the only other two I've been to are Mama Melrose's and Tony. Tony's is the only one I wouldn't really recommend.
 
Grew up on the cooking of two Italian grandmothers. Have tried them all and the only one I really make an effort to go to is Via Napoli for the pizza. Most of the others are typical Americanized Italian - not bad but nothing special. And no offense intended to those who like Il Mulino - it's OK, but does not even come close to the excellence of the original in NYC (one of my favorite restaurants in the world).
 
I agree with the others about Via Napoli. Its amazing! The pizza is outstanding. And the candele pasta is one of my fave dishes there. Sooooo good.

A friend of mine has tried the chicken parm with potatoes and he said it was one of the best he's ever had. He left stuffed, and he has a huge appetite!

The tiramisu is OUTSTANDING.

I would have to say Il Mulino is the best over all. I was disappointed in Via Napoli. This trip we are going to try Trattoria Al Forno since we are staying at BWV this trip.
 
Via Napoli was a pleasant surprise and I would absolutely go back. The thin crust pizza is great and the ambiance is pleasant if you sit outside.

I've heard Il Mulino is great but haven't been. On my list!
 
I had the prix fixe lunch at Tutto Italia on Wednesday and it was delicious. I had the minestrone soup, spaghetti and meatballs, chocolate chip gelato, and a Coke. With Tables in Wonderland it was only $28, and that includes tax and tip. Was my first time dining there and it was a very positive experience. I will definitely be going back!
 
Tutto Italia in epcot is very good and they are usually on time with there reservations.
 
Portobello in Disney Springs is very good, I didn't like Trattoria al Forno at all Il mulino is good as well
