The heat and humidity from outside quickly evaporated as we waited for a table while listening to my favorite Italian song. "Mambo Italiano"

Love that song!!

Thanks for the review and photos!

Loved your fun review. I was particularly interested in the Calamari pizza, so I was glad to see a pix of it.
We are looking forward to checking it out for ourselves in Oct. It's about time WDW got some decent pizza!

The calamari was delicious! Agreed, it's about time! The pizza window at Spoodles was just ok. We always lined up for it anyway.

Love that song!!
Thanks for the review and photos!

Fantastic review & pictures! It was very helpful for my curious mind. We have an ADR for December for Via Napoli and I was anxious to see some food pron!

 

[LJSRDH]

Thank you so much for posting your beautiful pics! It looks like you had such a nice birthday!

 

[mandibc11]

Your pictures are beautiful! What type of camera do you use? I notice you've copyrighted them, so I take it you're a pro!

 

[Mrs D]

You sealed the deal! There is no way I will miss this place in Oct!

Thank you and happy birthday!

We also went during the soft opening in August and really loved it. It was searingly hot outside, thus nobody was sitting at outdoor tables ANYWHERE in EPCOT. It was truely the first trip where I saw plenty of empty open tables and nobody wanted them. Last summer, it wasn't as bad heatwise, so people did outside. I also thought those side tables would be a great place to sit on a cool evening..... like in late November or December.

I'm going in late November and am thinking about trying to get ourselves an ADR later in the week when my son will be joining us. He is so picky about Italian food because we sent him to the real Italy on a high school trip and so he learned what "real" Italian food tastes like. I know he'll really love it. I'd like to do lunch, so we have time to work off the calories because I must have that tiramisu thing with the espresso and chocolate! Sounds like heaven... not that the apple cake we had was not delicious.. but since I was sharing my dessert with DH, we had to agree on flavor!

That looks delicious! I have been wanting pizza all weekend and now I want it even more! Alas today is ds's bday party and he wants RIBS! LOL

Thanks for sharing your review. Can't wait to try it in November!

GREAT PICS!!!!! So glad you enjoyed it! We made ressies originally for Chef de France for my dads birthday in Decmeber, but changed to Via since it has more foods the kids will love and it is a NEW restaurant to try. Cant wait for December

Thank you I use a Nikon D200 DSLR. I'm not a pro. A looong time ago I was a celeb photographer. Now photography is for my own enjoyment. Copyrighting is one way to keep them from being spread all over the internet without my permission.

Thank you everyone for all your Happy Birthday wishes and kind words about the review and pics. Most of all, thanks for taking the time to read the review and commenting.

Next up is LeCellier

This might divert from the topic at hand... but how do you copyright each photo? Is it a simple form to fill out? Does it cost you?

With pics all that's needed is to add a watermark or the copyright symbol your name and usually date.
How to?
Create a text script in say PS. Type the symbol © using the keyboard right side numbers with the Num Lock on -
Hold alt type 0169 ® is alt 0174
I don't register my pics thus it's free. If I thought someone was using a pic without permission I would send them a cease and desist (also called C & D) order or request to halt the use (cease) and not to do it again later (desist) or else they face legal action. DH is a lawyer so that parts free too
Hope that helps.

Oh, that's all huh!! Sounds easy. Except my laptop doesn't have a number pad, so I have to use numbers across the top. They have little purple symbols... but not that one. I'll have to ask my DH. He's the computer guy.

 

[smileycrissy]

Deb, thanks for the pics. DF and I are going tomorrow night and I've had pizza on the mind all week. Glad to see what the calamari pizza looks like because I am so tempted by it!!

By the way, Happy Belated Birthday! I am so glad it was wonderful for you.

PM me if he can't figure it out. I'll make a jpg for you.

Thanks Hope your Via Napoli experience was a good one. Did you you try the calamari pizza? What did you think?
