I can finally contribute to this thread!!!

Here's some from Tutto Italia:

Branzino in Padella - striped bass filet with sweet tomatoes, zucchini and Sardinian "fregoal" $35

Penne Caprese with crushed tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and basil $24

They brought us this yummy dessert and sang us a song for our anniversary.

We then ordered our desserts that came with our dining plan.
Copetta Sotto Bosco - berries, zabaglione cream gelato and chocolate sauce $14.00

I don't see the dessert I ordered on allears.net but it was just okay. I think I was spoiled by the yummy chocolate dessert they brought us!

MORE PICS!!!

Location: Epcot World Showcase

Tutto Italiana... with mini-review.

INSIDE:

Brought to every table:

DDs meal off kids menu:

Penne Alla Panna with creme and parmesean.

DW & DD both said it was really good.

Mozzarella Sticks $6.00

and her BIRTHDAY dessert:

ADULT:

DW's food...
Sacchetti - pasta pillows filled with ricotta and mozzarella cheese and pomdoro sauce $19 -
Both my wife and son got this. My son was not impressed. My wife said our DDs food was better.

My meal:
Grigliata di Pesce con Salmoriglio - grilled prawns, striped bass, salmon $27

It was killer good!!! I was happy to see the portions were smaller.

For dessert... there was a running joke... It seemed I was always the one who picked the best dessert. Hands down, all week, everyone at the table ordered a different dessert, we all sampled each ones food and dessert, and all week, we all agreed I picked the best dessert!!!
What was my secret??? NO CHOCOLATE!!!

You see... I have this theory... After eating at almost every single TS at Disney... I have come to the conclusion that most people order a chocolate dessert. Because of that I have arrived with the assumption that if they sell THAT MUCH chocolate dessert... they will have to cut some corners somewhere. now don't get me wrong... some of the best chocolate desserts I've ever eaten were on Disney property. The wave at coral Reef is KILLER. A few others pop in my mind... but overall... I'm not impressed with the chocolate desserts at WDW. (sorry SlightlyGoofy ). I find most of them to be dry and rather tasteless. My idea is to try the ones that are NOT chocolate, and the ones that cost less. (yeah... thats different when your on the DDP...) but its my conclusion, and I was right all week.

DW ordered:

Mocha Tiramisu - mascarpone cheese, espresso coffee, savoiardi biscuits and chocolate $9.00 -
It was really good.

DS ordered:

Gianduja - Chocolate Torta - chocolate and hazelnut torte with whipped cream and raspberry sauce $10.00

It was great as well.

And I had the Zuppa Inglese - trifle cake with candied fruit, vanilla cream and meringue $9.00
I gotta tell ya... it was SINFULLY good!!!
Our server actually said he didn't like this dessert. He didn't recommend it because it was "too sweet", of course he said if I like really sweet desserts that I'd love it. he was right. It was SOOOOOO amazing.

So how good were the desserts??? This picture of my wife (which don't do her justice... ) says it all.....

She did that just for the picture. No, we're not THAT redneck here in NC!
But the funny thing was when the two girls who came in and sat down behind us saw her lick her plate and me snap the picture.
They couldn't stop laughing.
My wife demanded I explain that she didn't really lick the plate.... She merely did that for the picture....

Is it just me or does the bread look smaller? This is a pic from our May '08 dinner at Kona -

If the bread has gotten smaller our server will be kept busy bringing bread to our table in a couple of months, . My MIL/FIL are going to be joining us and that woman can put away the bread and I don't want to draw back a bloody stump if I reach for some bread!!!
