Tutto or Rose & Crown?

[Tam1067]

Help me choose! My ADRs open Sunday, and I still need one more restaurant for dinner. I'm looking for the best overall experience. We've never eaten at either of these restaurants, so they're both new for us. Also, your comments about why are appreciated. Thanks!

Rose & Crown by a mile. We ate at Tutto last year and thought it was terrible. We ordered our entrees and they were to our table in 5 minutes and they were luke warm at best.

We've never eaten at Tutto, but I can vouch for R&C....we ate there last May and it was the best meal of our trip hands down. We were seated outside on the patio, and had a lovely relaxing meal. Plus, you can beat the beer selection there.....not many places have Boddington on draft like they do, plus you can get real English hard cider, which beats the stuff they make here in the US by a mile.

I completely disagree with the PP. I LOVE Tutto. We always get exceptional food and service (mind you my DH speaks fluent Italian) We always make a point to go.

Rose and Crown is a must-do for us each trip. It is the only "request" that my husband has during the entire trip-planning process! He loves his bangers and mash (and a little Guinness doesn't hurt).

R&C - the best beer in Disney

Rose and Crown!! We go there for lunch/dinner all the time, much better food, restaurant is in a much better location (especially if you can sit outside RIGHT ON THE WATER), do not go to Epcot without a visit to the ole Rose & Crown!!!

We like Rose and Crown better!!

Wow! I'm glad to hear all the positives for R&C. I was leaning that way but then worried after seeing a few bad reviews, but now I'm thinking we'll have to try it. Ah, so many decisions!

Tutto was the one resturant on our list last trip that the wife was not looking forward to, as a matter of fact she didn't want to go and was biting her tounge to make me happy. It turned out to be her favorite of the trip, one of mine too (my favorite non signature).

We loved Rose and Crown, but Tutto was simply a better meal hands down.
(Esp the antipasta platter)

For dinner I would do the Rose and Crown. If you are able to get a reservation between 7:30 and 8:30 you can watch Illuminations from the patio!!

That is if you can get a seat on the outdoor patio.
Frankly I wouldn't put myself through the stress of dealing with a "popular fireworks resturant" at fireworks time on the off chance they might seat me on the patio when and if I even got the ADR for the right time.

If you want to go that route, I prefer Chef De France - they have a porch with a great view of the fireworks. And because not as many people realize they have the view here, there isn't as much competition.

I've never eaten at Tutto, but Rose and Crown was our favorite restaurant of our entire trip. The food was delicious (oh, the Bailey's Trifle is incredible!), our server was extremely friendly, and the atmosphere was just all-around awesome. I definitely strongly recommend it!

We've eaten at both and it's a hard decision to make. They both were fantastic. I would choose Tutto just because of the numerous items on the menu. There is something for everyone at Tutto.

Either choice will be the right one.

I ended up booking both! I'm glad to hear such good feedback on them.
