Tell me they are not closing this place !! Tutto Italia Review with lots of pix

[Jakesmom1]

I have to be honest, I have heard so many negative things about this restaurant, we were hesitant to go, but my DS really wanted Italian food and we loved it. The service was wonderful, the CM's terrific,and the food was to die for.

First they bring out a relish tray, and olive oil with bread.

I started off with a Ceaser salad (of course), DH and DS just wanted bread.

This was probably the best Ceaser salad I had the whole time we were away.
It was fresh, very large and Delic.....

For our entrees DH had Lasagna al Forno with meat ragu, bechamel and parmesan cheese

This looked wonderful and he loved every bite.

DS had Spaghetti - veal meatballs and pomodoro sauce

He is a pretty picky eater, but he ate every bite. Said he really enjoyed it.

I had Chicken with Mozzarella cheese,( sort of a chicken parm) broccolini and potatoes

This was to die for.

For desert my DS had a Cannoli

I was kind of jealous when I saw it, but he ate every bit.

DH had Gianduja - Chocolate Torta - chocolate and hazelnut torte with whipped cream and raspberry sauce

Said it was delic.

and I had Copetta Sotto Bosco - berries, zabaglione cream gelato and chocolate sauce

OMG, If I could have licked the bowl, I would have.

I know there are rumors that this place is closing and is supposed to reopen as something else, but we loved it, and would go back again on every trip.

Tutto is only meant to be temporary while they get ready for a brand new restaurant to take it's place.

Thanks for the great review. I feel like everyone got their back up about this restaurant without even trying it. Like, the prices just irked people so much, and it got bashed by people who never even set foot in the place.

Your meal sounded fabulous!

that cesar salad looks yummmmo! what is the black stuff on the bread? Anchovie paste-?? I would request that off...LOL We are looking forward to our meal here- we were always disapointed with Alfredo's.. Glad you enjoyed it!

yup it was anchovy paste, I am one of the few who actualy like anchovies. the whole meal was delicious. Hope you enjoy your meal as much as we did.

Thanks for your pics and review! Do you remember how much you paid for the caesar salad? The only price I see for a caesar on Allearsnet.com is $16. I am hoping that appetizer sized salad is more reasonably priced! I really want that salad! (no anchovy paste for me either)

Wow, glad I didn't see these on an "empty" stomach!!

The pics are AWESOME!!!

Thanks for posting!!!

mmm..I remember Dopey had the profiterole with the warm chocolate sauce ..I was so jealous because it was so good! I hope they still have it on the menu or in the new place!

Thanks so much for sharing! I too was hesitant to make an ADR at Tutto, but in recent weeks, its gotten some great reviews. Your pictures just sealed the deal for me. I just have to remember to keep some room for those amazing desserts!

We have ADRs at Tutto in January, so I hope it is not closing. My guess is that since it has shown to be so popular and is said to rival Le Cellier in demand (by guests as well as CMs), it probably won't be closing any time soon. WDW is pretty business savvy - we would all agree - and I can't see them closing a TS that has such high prices and still in demand. That wouldn't make sense. It's in Italy, so they would close a perfectly good Italian restaurant to open another...Italian restaurant? ?

Thanks for the review and Pics.
We have Candlelight Processional ADR here In Dec. and I am so looking forward to it.Also glad that we will be on the DDP and that it is still just 1TS credit per person.

I just cannot decide what to have for dessert!

I think it was around $16, and it was an appetizer. But I gotta tell you worth every penny. It was really yummy

The food at Tutto Italia is awesome, but I'm sorry spaghetti and meatballs should not cost $25 no matter how good it tastes.

 

[auntsue]

I have to agree with ADP. We ate there once and while I did think the food was very good, I thought the prices were ridiculous. We often eat at the Signature restaurants so we are used to expensive prices, but $24 for penne with tomato sauce just seems a little excessive, even for Disney World.

Enjoyed reading your review ~ Thanks for posting.

 

[Ron from Michigan]

Thanks for the review. We will be eating there on our first night in October.

 

[MeLaNie9]

Thanks for the review - we have CP ADRs here for the first night of our Dec trip. SIL wanted this one and DH and I were a bit leary. From your pics I already know what I'm getting ...the chicken that that chocolate hazelnut torte!!!

 

[canadaniagarafamily]

Looks great! Thanks for the pics. We're there in September on the DP.
Looking forward to it now.
