Disney Dining experience $$ vs. $$$ and vs signature

[kp22090]

Ok I'm a little confused. I'm booking my dining reservations for my upcoming Oct 28th trip and am having little luck with my time preference. However I do have one question. On the online Disney Booking system it labels Tutto Italia and Bistro de Paris as "$$$" category restaurants, however they are not indicated as being Signature Dining locations which require two table service meals.
So I'm curious, are Tutto Italia and Bistro de Paris more expensive restaurants but only use one meal from the meal plan? Or did they change them?

Are there any other restaurants like this?

Yes, these are 1 TS restaurants. The $$$ is the average price for the entrees. You won't get charged more than 1 TS credit when you eat there (Tutto Italia and Chefs de France). The $$ vs $$$ is for diners without the disney dining plan to have an idea of what to expect, menu-pricing-wise.

Bistro de Paris does not accept the DDP at all. It is a notch above the signature restaurants and is the only restaurant in Epcot to not accept the DDP. Just FYI: even though kids are accepted they are not encouraged at Bistro de Paris and a kids menu is not even offered there. Chefs de France is the French TS that accepts the DDP and is one credit.

Tutto Italia is also only one credit and is a fantastic deal on the DDP.

We just did Tutto a few weeks ago and it was a one ts credit.....I will tell you that it was fantastic and the service was unreal.......I can hardly wait to go there again......with or without the free dining pkg...
