    Default Chef de France, Via Napoli or Tutto

    Hi trying to decide on one restaurant to do on Epcot...which one would you choose ? Any particular food to try? Thanks

    It's a tough choice because they're all good. You really can't go wrong with any of them. I haven't been to Tutto as recently, ended up snacking at the Tutto Gusto wine bar section but the menu looked good. At Via Napoli, I like the pizza, but I'm sure some of the pasta dishes must be good, too. At Chefs de France, I love the escargot, the gratin de macaroni, and the short ribs.

    My favorite is Tutto...really like the food at Via Napoli too but the atmosphere isn't as nice.

    We ate at Chef de France before and I thought it was OK...nothing wrong with our meal or the service but....just not a place that I feel I need to repeat any time soon.

    We haven't eaten at Tutto, but we do have an ADR there next week. Love Via Napoli, pizza, salads, desserts are really good. Chefs, we could take it or leave it. The food is very rich, couldn't eat it all. Loved the bread and desserts.

    For me, I'd skip all three and walk over to Captain's Grille or Cape May.

    We don't care for Chef's at all. The last time we ate there the short ribs were very, very dry. To me, it's not authentic French food at all. And being Italian, we don't eat Italian out unless it's in the North End of Boston!

    See, I think Chefs is a decent representation of French bistro/brasserie food. I just got back yesterday from 5 days in Paris and we ate primarily at bistros/brasseries. You really couldn't help but eat at them, as there was practically 1 on every block . The menu options were similar to what is on the menu at Chefs. It gave me a nice appreciation of Chefs since they did a nice job at representing a casual French bistro for American audiences.

    I just wish they served cafe creme at Chefs as I fell in love with that in Paris ! I can at least get Badoit sparkling mineral water there!

    We are dining at Chefs de France for the first time on our upcoming December visit. Some friends recommended it to us, as it is one of their favorites. Hope it's good!

    We haven't done Tutto but I would recommend Via Napoli over Chefs. The pizza really is awesome

    I think it depends on what you are in the mood for and what environment you want. I have eaten at all 3 and enjoyed them all.

    If you are in a pizza mood, I would go with Via Napoli. It does tend to be a noisy atmosphere.

    Chefs can also be noisy and if you are in a table as opposed to a booth, they tend to be close together. I like sitting near the windows. I have several picky eaters in my group and we can always make everyone happy at Chefs.

    I ate at Tutto for the first time Saturday. It is quieter than the other two and has a relaxed elegant atmosphere. The service was excellent. Though there are a few other options the menu is definitely focused on pasta.

    We love Via Napoli. I feel like it's kinda hid in it's little area and it is just a nice relaxing atmosphere to be in. We are normally getting the pizza but all the other dishes that pass by look AMAZING!!! I don't think you can go wrong with any of the restaurants but Via Napoli is our pick.
