really, REALLY wanna eat at Via Napoli!!

I have not been able to get ressies at Via Napoli for 12/19. What are the chances of getting to eat their wonderful pizza that day without the ressies??????

I think that would certainly qualify as a minority opinion on the DIS!

OP...keep trying! We were able to get in using our telephone waiting out in front of the restaurant. We had been unable to snag an ADR there and were even told at the check-in there was no availability. Kept calling and viola! There it was!

You can try walking up. We ate there on the first night of F&W around 7pm, when Epcot was packed. They had a big line of people waiting as walk-ins, but they were still taking walk-ins.

Keep looking. The pizza is amazing.

The first time I tried them, I had reservations and were seated right away. 2 days later( boyfriend love the desserts) we did not have reservations and I think we had about 45 min wait. But they were taking walk ups. I havent seen them actually turn people away.....yet.

It's worth it to keep trying--be sure to try the Aqua Fresca. So delicious!!!!!

I'm guessing the ADR's are scarce because of the CP packages. I know that's where we're eating lunch on the 19th with a CP package and we booked it months ago.

I know that Tutto's, which is owned by the same company as Via Napoli, has outdoor tables which the hostess said are for walk ups. Via Napoli has some outdoor seating as well so maybe it has the same system in place.

We've had very good pizza and other entrees there. Also the calamari appetizer is excellent.

There is (was?) a walk up pizza window attached to Via Napoli. It does not have the same pizza as inside the restaurant.

We ate there our last visit and are really looking forward to it again. First time, we weren't aware ressies were recommended but only had to wait about 30 minutes. DH, both DS's and I absolutely love this place.
Previous visit wasn't planned so we just went with the flow. This trip however, I am doing as much planning as I can.
Only 31 more days!!!!!

We've gotten in as a walk up and have also just stopped by the day of and gotten an ADR for dinner later that night. We've had several items on their menu and all were good. I'll be getting their quattro pizza again for lunch in a little over a week.

I would keep trying. We ate at Via Napoli again in October and the pizza was fantastic. In fact it was the best I have ever had, and I've had pizza from NY to Italy many times. We had a large with half pepperoni and half sausage.

We walked up to Via Napoli in the morning, about 30 minutes before they opened and asked if we could get an ADR for later. They said they were booked up so I asked if we could get on the walk up list, they put my name first on the list.

We arrived back there about 5 minutes before opening and the lobby was jam packed with people, as well as people crowded right outside the door.

We squeezed our way into the lobby just in time to hear our name called FIRST. We were the first party seated that day.

Thanks, I hadn't thought about doing that!
