Breakfast? Thoughts on Trattoria Al Forno?

[dreday3]

I'm not a big breakfast person, but one of the people we are traveling with is.

So one morning we want to do a nice it down. He liked Kona, but their breakfast menu is so scaled down it's not worth the travel time.
We are staying at Gran Destino, so there's Rix which seems fine. Everyone but me is very anti-buffet, so Boma is out.

But then I looked at Trattoria Al Forno's breakfast menu and it seemed to have interesting items.
It's ala-carte, no characters, which is what we want. And then we can walk over to Epcot and make it for opening.

Anyone eat here for breakfast? Thoughts?

I had breakfast there back in August (was staying at Boardwalk). I thought it was a perfectly fine meal. We had breakfast there on the last day and it was a pleasant close to our trip.

Thank you!

The poached eggs with the polenta and crusty bread sounds delicious!!! Or even the breakfast pizza.

We ate there in December and it was pretty good. We really loved the outdoor seating.

For the love of all that is holy, don't eat at Rix.

Nice! I didn't realize there is outdoor seating. If it's not too hot, maybe we will sit outside!

We ate there pre-covid...they had a b'fast calzone on the menu which was the best b'fast I've ever had at Disney....sadly, because of the reduced menu, they no longer offer it. The rest of the family liked it as well.

I'm doing the same thing. I have an ADR there on my checkout day. I hear it's good.

I made that mistake one trip. I figured I would grab breakfast there on check out day before picking up SR-429 to points north. Never again.

No Rix, noted.

...are the watchos good though? waffles fries with queso and toppings, I mean, how could it be bad?

The fries are probably left over from dinner the prior night.

The GF cafe offers a nice sit down breakfast as well.

Thanks! Yes, we've been there, very good.

I think we are sticking with Trattoria for ease of getting to Epcot and it has some more savory items that please me.

I had the poached eggs last week and they were amazing! Trattoria is a great choice, and also has outdoor seating right on the boardwalk (which is in the shade in the morning)

We had breakfast there in July for the 1st time ever and really liked it. My husband loved the breakfast pizza. It's definitely on our do over list for the next visit if we are at Boardwalk/Beach Club

Breakfast is something I really enjoy while on vacation. I enjoyed the pancakes with fruit compote at Trattoria, and my husband loved the steak. I also like nearby “Ale and Compass” at Yacht Club. I get the dark chocolate waffles with cherries and mascarpone there.

Grain of salt please...

I asked the host a couple of weeks ago when he expected characters to return. He said he heard "August". Fingers crossed, this was a great little experience with the characters for our family.

We’d love to have characters in August, but I’m skeptical.

Trattoria to me has the best steak and eggs

I hope characters don't come back or they offer a no character option (I think they offered this before Covid). I think Trattoria has one of the best breakfasts on property right now. I love the breakfast potatoes and the pressed pot coffee there and I would be concerned that it would change if characters were there.
