[onejellyshelly]

GFC is great. It is a hidden gem. I cannot wait to eat there at the end of this month. I am glad you had a great meal!

We arrived at BOMA around 8:45 a.m. for our 9:25 reservation. We had about a 15 minute wait before being seated. Our waitress came over to take our drink order. The kids and I ordered the Frunch juice.

This was our first time dinning at BOMA, we have stayed at AKL before but have never eaten at BOMA. Plus this is one of the restaurants that Daisy had requested, she wanted to dinner here but I don’t think DH and I would of liked dinner so we compromised with breakfast. All the food was very good here; my only complaint is that it is very hard to get your food when it’s crowded. Also our waitress was very buisy, so she took a very long time to come back with drinks. I took Tink up to get her food first, and then went back for mine. Before I even had a chance to sit down and eat Donald says “Wow this breakfast is really good” I took some pictures but I will try my best to remember whose plate is whose.

Frunch

One of Tinks plates she had a bagel, sausage, bannana bread, cream cheese, jelly and pineaple

Mickey had a made to order omelet, it was western omelet that he split with me, very yummy.

This is my plate, with the very yummy potatoes. I love potatoes!!

Oatmeals, one was Donald's and the others was Daisy

My sons Fruit Loops, he LOVES his cereal

One of Daisy's plates, she really liked the brioche (french toast) I was not to crazy about it

This was one of my plates brioche, waffles and pancakes

Assorted pastries

Donald's plate

Last but not least, our waitress brought out Donald a birthday treat, very weird pastries IMO

There was more plates of food but these are the ones I was able snap a picture of.


Tummies nice and full and we are off to AK

forgot to say we have been to both buffet (Boma breakfast and dinner) and my family prefers the breakfast buffet better than the dinner. The dinner is also so crowded and the lines are so much longer than the breakfast buffet.

Yes it's weird
It just does not flow right with the seperate sections. You have the people from one section that are standing there blocking the next section waiting for what they want. Hope that makes sense.

Oooooohhhhhhhhhhhh! The Boma breakfast looks DELICIOUS!!!! I can't wait to try it next time we go! If I could lick the screen, I would! The pastries and that omelet look mouthwatering! What exactly was Frunch, if you remember?

Frunch is a combination of lemonade, pineapple juice, guava juice, orange juice, and papaya juice. When I told my son what was in it at first he said what is guava? I told him try it and if he did not like it he could get something else. He did like it but my daughter did not. The waitress was nice enough to give us a couple of cups of it in a to go cup.

Yum, I love Boma Breakfast!

We also love GF Cafe. Last time we were there the Fish of the day was better than the fish I had the day before at Coral Reef, go figure.

We arrived at EPCOT around 5:45 we first made a stop at guest relations so Donald could get his birthday gift card. This was taking a little longer than expected. So Mickey, Stitch, Tink and I started to walk to Italy.

We wanted to get a head start to check in so we could get Donald a cake at the podium. I check in and ask about getting a cake. The guy that I asked looked to be the manager and he said “you no order cake so I don’t have” I then said to him that the cake hotline says I can order a cake at the podium. He then gets loud with me and says “If I have a cake I send out if I no have I bring slice of cake.” I then said ok thank you very much. We then go over to have a seat and wait to be called. In the meanwhile we are texting with Daisy, because she wanted to find out if we were able to get a cake. I told her oh boy you don’t want to know. LOL

About 10 minutes later we were called in to be seated. Our waiter then comes over to take our drink order. Mickey told the waiter that I speak Italian. I wish he did not tell him that I did. I don’t speak it as much as I used to since my mom passed away, plus we are from Sicily and it is a different dialect. I did say a few things to him in Italian though.

On to our food:

For starters

Verdure, Olive "Giardiniera" e Ricotto con Basilico

Pane De Casa - with Tuscan olive oil - herb and parmesan grissini breadsticks

All the breads were very yummy, I really liked the ricotto con basilico (the spread) I had none of the Olives because I hate them, but I love olive oil go figure.

This picture was taking by Tink with her camerea. I think it came GREAT!

The kids each go the mozzarella sticks as appetizer, they both liked them but I thought they were kind of bland.

Half eaten

Stitch ordered Farfalle alla Panna - cream and parmesan $9.50

He loved it, I sampled some when he first go it and I agree it was yummy. He ate the whole thing

Tink ordered the pizza

We both agreeded that it was very yummy

I ordered Cannelloni al Forno - baked with spinach, ricotta, bechamel and parmesan cheese $24 Very very good

Mickey and Donald ordered Tagliata di Manzo
I absoultely LOVED this!!! The taste reminded me so much of my mother's steak. I ate all of Mickey's potatoes and spinach since he does not veggies or potatoes.

Daisy ordered
Tagliatelle alla Primavera - tagliatelle egg pasta with zucchini, broccoli, peas, mushrooms, and tomatoes in a light cream sauce $24

I did not try any but she enjoyed it.

Continued in next post

On to desserts:

Donald and I had the same dessert, I forget the name of these since they are not listed on the online menus. I thought they were just ok nothing special.

Mickey had a cannoli, which he thought was outstanding!

Stitch had Chocolate Gelato
he enjoyed it

Daisy had Mocha Tiramisu
If I remember correctly she liked it

Sorry about the blurry pic

Tink had vanilla gelato and she like it

Now the question is did we get a cake or a slice

When dessert was brought out they sang to Donald in Italian, my kids got a big kick out of this because, like I said before I don't speak Italian as much as I used to but I always sing Happy Birthday in Italian and my kids have heard me so much that they also can sing Happy Birthday in Italian.

Well anyways the manager did have a cake. This was the second cake of the week that I ordered, and both times it was messed up a bit since they kept going to the wrong person. They put the cake in front of Stitch.

It looks they added chocolate wafers to the top to make it look more festive
We all thought the cake was rather yummy tasting. The waiter comes back later to see if we needed the cake wrapped up and I was about to say yes but then I look over in front of Donald and see he finishing the last of it.

This concludes our dinner at Tutto Italia. Overall we really enjoyed Tutto Italia, this was up high with Grand Floridian Cafe.

We then went and found a spot for Illuminations. I wanted to share a bonus picture with you, I love how it came out.

 

[LLLBelle]

The food looks great. We was thinking about going here for lunch. That's ashame they had to make such a stink about the cake, maybe he was having a bad day

After they brought over the cake I told Donald that I had to get spit at when I ordered the cake. I forgot to mention the spit in the review.

 

[letstalkboutdisney]

Great review! Everyting looks yummy.
Was that a chocolate fork and knife with the cannoli?
Glad to see you got the cake. Why did they have to hassle you? What a shame.
Looking forward to more!

Yes it was cocoa powder I believe.
I think it was just a miscommunication about the cake, we just laughed it off. But I'm used to angry Italians.

On this morning Mickey and Donald went on the Segway Tour in EPCOT. They had breakfast at the ASMO Food Court.

Donald had a breakfast platter which consisted of a Mickey Waffle, eggs, potatoes, sausage, bacon, and a biscuit.

Mickey had a Western Omelette with potatoes

Mickey is so funny he took the pictures with his IPhone (he remembered on his own) and emailed them to me. He titled the email a present for you.

Up next: What did the rest of us eat for breakfast? After sleeping in.

 

[Samandmom]

Our original plan for today was to have breakfast at Kona, but I cancelled the night before so we could sleep in. I am glad that we slept in but I still really want to try Kona for breakfast.

On to what we did have for breakfast. We finally made our way to the foodcourt around 10:30.

I ordered the breakfast platter and Mickey waffle with fruit for me and the kids to split.

The breakfast platter was the same as Donald's (previous post) I took some pictures after it was split up. The only differnce was that I asked to sub the biscuit for something else and they gave me another Mickey waffle. Which was perfect because the kids were happy to recieve their own Mini Mickey waffle.

Half of Mickey

My son ate Mickey before I remembered the picture

The platter was just ok, plenty to share, the best tasting were the waffles

Mickey Waffle with fruit
This was outstanding!!

Daisy had the breakfast croissaint, bannana, and oatmeal. She enjoyed it.
