Recently i cant see myself choosing Tutto over Via Napoli
Very happy about this news. If a new attraction for World Showcase isn't going to happen, at least we're getting some impressive new restaurants and renovations. Plus, it's nice to see the "La Cava" concept being used in a variety of nations.
The refurb on this has been extended by about a month.

About time this place gets updated. It's a bit worn, and the menu is not all that great and neither is the food. I don't get what is so hard to make good Italian food. Use prosciutto, good olive oil, percorino and romano cheese, san marzon tomatoes, fresh made pasta, really show the traditional food of Italy in regions. Not just Americanized parmesan crap. The only thing we ever like about this place was eating the antipasta plate on the patio, that was the only dish that somewhat highlighted true Italy.
Agreed! The Italian pavilion needs good, real Italian food. Though am I alone in thinking Via Napoli pizza is very similar to New Haven-style? (Our families pretty much all came from the Amalfi coast, but surely there must be differences.)
I would hate to lose the tromp l'oeil decor in the restaurant, though.
Eh...some similarities with one big difference: I thought pizza at Frank Pepe's in New Haven was disgusting--crispy (burnt) on the bottom and a greasy mess on top. Via Napoli's pizza, on the other hand, was fantastic--chewier crust, great sauce and toppings. I'll take Via Napoli any day over our New Haven crap.Agreed!

Dare you go to to Wooster St. and make that statement....you'd make a lot of enemies (including me)!
The San Angel Inn's menu was largely redone sometime last summer/fall. From the reviews I've seen, it's supposed to be better now.I would have to actually drive over to Wooster to eat, which I no longer do after a series of crappy meals. I go to Danbury for good Italian food now. Wooster St is incredibly over-rated. And I wouldn't really care if I made enemies in New Haven. We moved to Branford to get away from New Haven people...
More on topic, though, I look forward to the new Tutto Italia menu. Most of the recent updates in dining at World Showcase have been to make the food a bit more authentic (but not so authentic that Americans won't eat the food). The update to the menu at La Cantina de San Angel is a great example. Now, if only the San Angel Inn could get edible food...have not tried the Hacienda. Love Via Napoli last week. First time I've had edible (dare I say GOOD) pizza at WDW!

That's why I go to Modern on State Street. There's enough good restaurants all over the state anyway to put anything at Tutto Italia to shame.
