Tutto Italia or Via Napoli??

[DisneySarah80]

Which would you choose? We will be paying OOP for this one.

I haven't eaten at Via Napoli but we did eat at Tutto Italia this past March. I felt very rushed at Tutto Italaia. We had an ADR right when they opened for dinner and it felt like we couldn't sit and enjoy our dinner. It was like wam, bam, thank you mam! The food was not bad but not incredible either. I would like to try Via Napoli on our next trip.

Hmmmm, this is a hard choice! But I picked Via Napoli in the end.

We went to both in December and really enjoyed both!

I enjoyed the appetizers equally at both. Had the Frito Misto at VN - fried vegetables, calamari, mozzarella and arancini with red sauce. So good! But the bread and ricotta dip they bring at Tutto are excellent too.

I liked my entree better at Tutto (lasagna). I got the pizza with artichokes, prosciutto, mushrooms, and eggplant at VN. I didn't really care for it but I definitely think I ordered wrong. I'm looking forward to trying something different next time.

I enjoyed the dessert way more at VN. The Zeppole Di Catarina are fantastic!!!

We have an ADR for VN in October but not Tutto so I figured that's what I should vote for. I really don't think either are bad at all though!

I totally agree! In fact, if my husband didn't like it so much I wouldn't go back because it is so rushed. There were 4 serving people just standing around us waiting. Not a very relaxing meal. We have been there three times so far and every time it is rushed. This has got to be one of the fastest meals at Disney.

Too funny to complain about fast service!!! LOL! We really felt rushed and the same with us, several people just standing and waiting so we could eat and they could get us out of there!

My family and I ate at Tutto Italia last summer while at Epcot. It was lunchtime, but I'm not sure the exact time. We had no reservations, and we were seated within 10 minutes. The waitress was excellent, and was actually Italian working in Epcot for the summer. She was very friendly and my normally shy kids warmed right up to her. It was so hot on our visit in June, and I must have downed 10 Diet Cokes, but never had an empty glass. I apologized for having her get me so many refills, but she just smiled and said that was her job. I enjoyed my meal, but my 10 year old boy ate his meal so fast that he kept asking me for some of mine so I just gave him the rest of it. It was a little pricey, but if I was in Epcot today I'd be right back at Tutto Italia. Everyone has their own opinion, and my opinion of this place is (two thumbs up ... way up).

I chose Via Napoli.

We used to love Tutto Italia, but since Via Napoli has opened it has become our favorite of the two, and is one of our top favorites in all of WDW. The food just seems to be more fresh at VN, and while the service has never been outstanding at either, VN tends to be a bit better.

LOL I voted for Via Napoli - The one I have reservations for! Though I haven't been there yet, I've studied that menu like I have a pop quiz coming up!

Out of these two, I pick Via Napoli. I liked the food better than at Tutto.

If I want a higher quality Italian, I'd always pick Il Mulino. It's much better than both of these.

I used to love Tutto when they had gnocchi - but when they got rid of that menu item, they lost my business. I voted for Via Napoli, though I have never been there.

 

[SiAmCrAzY]

Via Napoli! The food is great! TI~ was just average and that is being generous

 

[disneyfav4ever]

I like Via Napoli better, and I think the prices are a little bit more reasonable there too.

Very well put

We loved it. I can't help but wonder if the excellent service is being mistaken for "rushing". BTW, if you are into beer you've got to try the Berri Moreti (might be mis-spelled), not the red ale but the regular....it is beyond fantastic.

DH and I just love Via Napoli.

We have dined there 5 times now and each time we had excellent service and fantastic food. We love the atmosphere and our servers have always been kind & attentive!

Tutto was just OK for us. It was good but we truly prefer Via Napoli!

 

[psac]

I wonder what Via Napoli the rest of these people went to. We've had over 50 table service meals on our various trips, and by far Via Napoli was the worst one ever. We enjoyed Tutto Italia both times we've eaten there.

 

[disneypolybride2008]

Tutto is more upscale, even though its 1 TS. It could certainly be 2 TS. The dishes are fancier, the atmosphere, the waitstaff, and all around its a classy place. The prices are higher too. The atmosphere at Napoli is totally different, its much more casual. The food is ok but i love Tutto better.

We really enjoyed our first trip to VN in March and are returning in Sept. I have not been to Tutto - I refuse to go b/c I miss Alfredo's!

The same one you went to. We just so happened to truly enjoy our many meals there.
