Live from WDW for 9 days, the Nicki and Todd dining review with a ton of PICS!!!!

[padisneylover]

Can't wait to hear about Tutto since I have been trying to decide if we should try it or not.

 

[accountingbabe08]

I think we are eating breakfast at Boma 3 times next trip instead of just one.
the pictures keep making me hungry

I have been lurking, following your report. I want to thank you for taking the time for posting all these wonderful pictures! I now want to try the Grand Floridian Tea, everything looked wonderful! I think I might have to try the french toast loaf from the MK bakery in May

Look forward to more!

 

[poohluvrs]

Awesome report!
Did you notice if the MK Bakery items were on the DDP?
Have fun

 

[arkansas mom]

Alrighty then. You've convinced me to make an ADR for breakfast at Boma!
I'm loving your report! Have fun--and tell us more!!!

 

[tinknme]

They were when we went in Dec., we used snack credits for the cinnamon rolls

Awesome report!

Been lurking since you started your food report. Is Disney paying you for those pictures? They just make me want to fly to WDW for a couple of meals

Great job on the pictures!!

I hope you love Tutto. We went there in Feb and it was great

Ok we are back, I know it is early but it has been pouring rain for 2 hours and if they still do the fireworks we can see them from the balcony, gotta love the YC. When we came in the lobby from the boat there was lifeguards opening the door for the guests and handing us all towels to dry off. Talk about service at its best!

So tonight was a night that I was very much looking forward to. We walked to Epcot and checked in at Tutto Italia early, we had 6:30 ressies but were seated at 5:45. Nice little table with a fantastic server, Giordano, he was super attentive and said that if we did not like any of the items we chose be sure to tell him and he will get us another dish at no charge...my mouth hit the floor...never had that said to me before!

Gorgeous restaurant, the place was semi full, lots of large round empty tables in the middle but around 6 they were full with people.

First course was a little bowl of veggies, so fresh I swear you picked them from the "garden" in the Land Asparagus (wow it was so fresh) string beans, carrots, celery, huge radish slice, one big green olive and one HUGE black olive (both had pits in them) and grape tomatoes (all the other veggies were 2 of each except the olives). What a fantastic start to this amazing meal, like I said before the veggies were just so dang fresh tasting I would have loved more!

There was a beautiful bread basket with crunchy breadsticks, a large flat piece of pizza dough that was dried into a cracker (it tasted just like a pizza crust), a few slices of a crusty on the outside and chewy on the inside bread and a few slices of a nice soft bread, great for dipping in the amazing olive oil. There was also my favorite item ever, basil and cheese infused butter....WOWZA it was so fantastic and I am glad that DH doesnt like basil because it was mine, all mine and I wasnt sharing! (The pic of the basil butter is next to the veggies in the picture above)

I ordered the mozzarella and tomato salad drizzled with basil infused oil...it was so good I licked the plate!

DH ordered the pasta fagiole, it was good, great flavor and the macaroni was very tender and even had a bite to it...I hate mushy pasta in my soups. He used the rest of the bread to clean the plate!

I ordered the bucatini pasta with pancetta and fresh peas in a parmesan cream sauce. It was the best Italian thing ever! They baked it a bit so it had a nice toasty flavor to it, the sauce was a bet loose in the beginning but set rather quickly, the peas were so fresh tasting they added alot of flavor and the pasta was cooked perfectly. DH was eyeballing it so I had to turn the dish over to him for a bit so he can experience and savor the flavor! It is not a super heavy dish at all but it is a tad on the rich side.

DH ordered the tagliatelle, egg noodles with bolognese...it was a tad misleading because he thought he was going to get a red meat sauce but instead it was more like a strogenoff sauce...which he loves. The noodles were so melt in your mouth tender, you can tell it is fresh pasta and not frozen or god forbid DRIED! There was a ton of meat in this dish and we both loved it alot. DH eyes were getting huge with every bite of all the food we had here...he told me to put it down for our October trip..hope they are still open then. Give this place a try, it is out of this world and I can easily see it being the most sought after ADR next to Le Cellier.

Total price with the DDE was $84.72. They did not add the tip so I had to add it in. This is the only place that did not automatically add the 18% tip in.

The desserts didnt wow my DH and I was pretty full so we skipped it and took a stroll to Norway in the misty rain. By the time we made it over there DH was ready for a coffee and some dessert. For less than the cost of one dessert at Tutto DH ordered a coffee, rice cream and school bread. I was not in there with him, I went to go get a table so I didnt know he was going to order 2 desserts! I was still full from dinner but who can turn down either one of these sweet treats?

The rice cream is sweet and fruit and creamy and wonderful...I duplicate it somewhat at home with Cozy Shack rice pudding and Birds Eye frozen strawberries. Close but nothing taste as good as the real thing.

School bread is the greatest thing since I dont know what. Such a light sweet roll filled with the lightest of air slightly sweet cream and covered in a not too sweet white icing and smothered in coconut....omigod it was the best ever and we got a huge kick out of the kids next to us that thought we were eating all that yellow butter..they thought the cream was straight butter!

Tomorrow morning brings us to our favorite Cape May, will it still be the number one breakfast joint or will it pass its torch to Boma? Lunch is who knows what and dinner was supposed to be at the Captains Grill but DH spied the Mexico menu tonight (newer than online) and we were able to get a table there for tomorrow night. I was nervous because of all the negative reviews here online but the place was packed and all the other new restaurants we tried were great so we are going to give it a shot. Stay tuned guys and have a great night and thanks so much for reading!

I wish they were paying me! DH says that I should be a restaurant critic or write a guide book to dining!

I am so glad that this review is helping everyone make decisions on dining and I love to look at pictures of the food too!

So when you said the croissants were premade and under the heat lamp I did not expect

When you bite into it the cheese does a fantastic melty ooze into your mouth, I actually moaned when I bit into it and DH said keep it down this is a family park! (It was an empty dining area!) The ham was great, not salty at all and the egg was not overcooked at all.

Love eating at Beaches & Cream! They have the best hamburgers and onion rings!!! They are very filling, so I'll forgive you for waiting on my absolute favorite No Way Jose for now. Just as long as you promise to go back

I really think I'm gaining weight just reading about all this wonderful food!

Looking forward to hearing about Tutto, haven't been there yet.

 

[sandym718]

Wow, Tutto sounds REALLY good!! I hadn't even considered it, but now...

I do have a way about me! I just posted the dinner pics above. And yes I have to get me some ice cream!

 

[Stephanie VanMeter]

Great report! I love the pics of the food! Sounds like you all are having a great time. Keep them coming!!

 

[alan_renfroe]

Thank you SO much for taking time to post your reviews LIVE. I hope you and DH are having a wonderful time!

Are you planning to eat at Yak & Yeti? I would LOVE to see more pics from there. Anyway, wherever you go...we are there with you!

 

[FirstMagic]

Thanks MickeyNicki, for your Live from WDW reports, and all the pictures!

I started with the Tutto Italia page from a link you put in another post, I have a reservation for October and I so hope they'll be open yet, the food looks FANTASTIC!

Now I'm going to go back and start at page one of your report and catch up.

I'm still meaning to try your "recipe" for rice cream, to tide me over until I can get to Norway!

Hope the rest of your trip goes well!

 

[alaskanmommy]

Another great live review MickeyNicki! If I wasn't planning on Tutto Italia before I might be now!! We love Italian food and make our own fresh pasta at home, time permitting, so we should probably check this place out!! Thanks for the great pics and report!! BTW, I'm Norwegian and have never tried the schoolbread, it is a must do for me next time!! Keep it up, I'm totally addicted to your thread! (and I just had dinner and am not even hungry )

 

[Desnik]

What great reviews! I especially love your review of Tutto Italia. I can't agree with you more. We loved it in November and your pictures had me drooling!!

 

[Jillpie]

This is just so fantastic. We're at the BCV in 2 weeks, also at AKV and we'll be going to Boma for bfast. A question about the Tea...is it "all you can eat", or is it just the portion they give you? Could you have gotten more scones? They looked good! Do you just pick one little dessert, or can you try as many as you want?

 

[mickeysbutler]

wow! you are really great at advertising. food looks awesome. i just booked 2 breakfasts at Boma when we go June 2-10!

 

[poohluvrs]

Does anyone know if tutto will be open mid Oct? Have to make ADRs next week - what to do....
Fantabulous reviews & pics Nic!
