We got to Epcot and made our way back to Tutto Italia. We were a tad early so we browsed a bit around Italy then checked in. A large family was taking up the seating so we stood for a bit then when they were seated, lots of places to sit opened up.
We were seated in the area outside the main dining room, like a patio.
Once we were seated, our server “Cassa” according to the receipt, arrived. We placed our drink orders and pondered the menu.
The assistant server (a guy who’s name I never got) delivered our bread basket and dipping oil.
We also received our little plate of antipasto. Yum.
I ordered water and a Pomegranate Cosmo.
Thomas ordered a glass of their house Chianti.
On to our entrees…
I had the Cannelloni “Al Forno”. Baked cannelonni pasta, spinach, ricotta, bechamel, parmesan cheese $24.00
Thomas got the Filetto Di Pesce In "Cartoccio" - Halibut filet, tomatoes, olives, capers, and vegetables baked in parchment paper. $34.00
This is what it looked like once you got the parchment open.
Faith had the Tortelli Di Vitello Al "Chianti" - Veal and chianti ravioli, parmesan cheese, sage butter, roasted tomato
I loved the little plate of antipasto (except for the mushrooms... don't eat those). The artichoke heart was yummy as was the ricotta-herby spread in the little dish. Faith didn't care for the pickle (and she is a pickle-aholic) so it must have been pretty yucky. I don't eat the little cucumbers soaked in evil unless they are between a bun and a beef patty. Thomas (the little fiend) ate ALL of the olives... (he didn't even save me ONE, so I ate the whole artichoke without a bit of guilt) so I can't report on those except to say they DO have pits in them still.
I have to say one other thing before I get to the entrees... Why does the bread have to come out cold? I really wish it was warm, room temperature or at least not freezing cold. I mean, it wasn't FROZEN, but it was very cold. I think it would have been a lot more appetizing other wise...
On to the entrees!!
Wow. My entrée was RICH. In my “real” life I rarely eat pasta, much less pasta stuffed full of cheese and then covered in more cheese. (If I did, I could be Ursula in Spectromagic without the aid of a costume…) So anyway… This dish was divine. I was what I wanted at that particular moment. If I was to order RIGHT now, I am not sure I would order the same thing, but this was REALLY excellent. It came with 2 filled tubes, and I only managed to hork down one. The other one was shared with Thomas, and Faith, and I may have had one or two more bites.
Thomas’ fish was a huge portion of fish. Thomas ate on it, he shared some with Faith, and then he and I traded entrees and I ate a bit of it. The fish was well seasoned and flavorful and not over or undercooked. The veggies were good and it wasn’t oily at all. I would definitely order this dish again, especially if I wanted something a little on the lighter side. He was looking for a light dish, so this was perfect.
Faith ordered the Tortelli because she didn’t recognize some of the ingredients. That is how she took to ordering after a while, whatever she didn’t know or recognize, she ordered. (In this case, she didn’t know what veal was… we told her later – after dinner – and she was a little shocked.) She really enjoyed this dish anyway (and hey… so did I – and I knew what veal is!) . The portion was reasonable, the filling was flavorful, and the tomato sauce they use is soooooooo good! I think it alone on pasta would be good… and I don’t even like plain pasta with tomato sauce!!
Desserts coming up soon….

I am looking forward to the next days in your vacation!
The muffin was HUMONGOUS! We split it 3 ways and it was STILL a LOT of blueberry muffin. I believe we could've used a snack credit for this monstrosity, but for whatever reason at the time, paid cash for it.
Love EOS...and your sandwich did look better, even though we both like the Original
