Please help me choose btwn Tutto & VN!

[dizprincess27]

Hello,

For my upcoming December trip I have Le Cellier booked for the CP Package, Chefs De France and Tutto Italia. I keep reading the great reviews of Via Napoli and am confused as to which Italian restaurant to go to now. Which has the best pasta specifically? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Extra incentive to keep the Tutto ADR in 12/11: Tutto is scheduled to close 1/8/12 - 4/1/12 for a refurb. This is likely to include some menu changes. So if there's something on the menu now that appeals to you, I'd keep the ADR in December because it just might be your last chance to get it!

I've been to both, and I would definitely choose Tutto. DH & I agreed we'll never go to Via Napoli again.

 

[jlk806]

Ive been to both also, and I like Tutto better! Unless you are going specifically for the pizzas Via Napoli specializes in, go for Tutto! Awesome pasta selections!

 

[dizprincess27]

Thanks everyone and yes I'm going for pasta so I think I'll stick with Tutto. The only problem I see right now is I'm interested in the cannelloni and they only seem to offer that at dinner time!

I found service, food and cost better at VN. My veg cannelloni at TI was bland to say the least.

 

[sweeteypie1118]

where did you see canneloni on the menu? I originally booked there for the canneloni I saw on the menu at allears.net, but saw it was an outdated menu and the menu listed and wdwinfo does not have it. I really want that canneloni!! I cancelled tutta and made reservations at via napoli because the new menu didnt have much that interested me. Can someone that has been there recently PLEASE tell me if there is canneloni on dinner menu

 

[dizprincess27]

I saw it on the menu at Allears but someone told me they also ate the Cannelloni there but I'm not sure when that was. All I know is it looked so good and that's what I wanted so yes if anyone knows if they still serve it let us know!

That allears menu says 2009. The wdwinfo site says

I am surprised so many people did not like Via Napoli. I really enjoyed it! I have eaten at both and preferred Via Napoli.

Did you have pasta there?
Also, some don't care for the layout, and noise level.

 

[Silver Queen]

I've had pasta at both restaurants and definitely prefer Via Napoli.

 

[francie57]

We have been to both and like Via Napoli better. It is noisier but the meals we all had were fantastic. We had some with pizza and some with chick parm, and several pastas and not one complaint in the bunch. We will definitely go back.
