    Default Tutto Italia or Via Napoli?

    We are 3 adults that enjoy Italian food but are not really familiar with the "authentic" Italian like some are...in our area there are mostly chain restaurants. I would like to try one of the Italian places in Epcot on our trip but I keep going back and forth between the two. I've looked at menus and they both look good! If its a good pizza then I'm fine with that, but I also enjoy lasagna and other pasta dishes. So please help me decide! We are on the dining plan so cost isn't a factor and enjoy sit-down meals but don't mind noise...basically just looking for a good dining experience. Thanks!

    We have eaten at both and the food is good. We prefer Tutti Italia due to the more formal dining and quieter atmosphere. Via Napoli can get a little loud due to the open ceiling.

    The food is nothing like you will find her in the states as the chefs and servers are from Italy.

    Tutti Italia has become an every trip must do for us.

    Hope this helps...

    I've actually never tried either (Via Napoli is one of our ADRs for our next trip), but I'm thinking from all the reviews I have read that both are good so its basically what kind of dining experience you are looking for....

    Via Napoli-a more casual experience with pizza being their specialty

    Tutto Italia-more formal dining experience with pastas and more traditional dishes as their specialty

    They are both great but Via Napoli has the edge for us. The pizza is amazing! Salads are outstanding too. I like the openness of Via Napoli, and it is more family friendly.

    I like both. Tutto Italia is more of a restuarant. Via Napoli has pizza and some other dishes. I recommend starting with Via Napoli to see how you like it. The owners, I have heard, have Italian restaurants in the New York area.

    I haven't been to Tutto Italia in years (not since it has been Tutto Italia, actually), but I have had snacks in the wine bar, Tutto Gusto, and it's a fun time, good food and service. Via Napoli is a new favorite for us, but we like it for the pizza and informal atmosphere when we're not looking for a bigger dining experience.

    If you're looking for atmosphere and an Italian meal, choose Tutto Italia. If you're looking for bright, easy, casual dining, choose Via Napoli. And if you're looking for really good Italian not on the dining plan, Il Mulino at the Swan is supposed to be more outstanding than both choices in the Italy pavilion (but I haven't tried it).

    We are huge Via Napoli fans. Awesome food and environment...although I agree that it can get noisy.

    Just wanted to add that at dinner time they bring the Tutto Italia menu into Tutto Gusto and you can have dinner in the wine bar. Did this last trip and will definitely do it every time I get back. Bellissimo!
