We are trying to make a decision between Tutto Italia or Via Napoli for our ADR. Who has been to both and which one would you choose? The menus at both look awesome. Please help.

Depends on what you feel like. Both are great imho, but here is the breakdown
Via Napoli-busier, louder, more vibrant ambiance. If you love wood fired Neapolitan style pizza, this is a must try. They have a huge selection of starters including antipasti-meats, cheese, fried goodies and salads. They also have a selection of pastas and parmigiana dishes. Most items are "family style"-the salads are enough for 2-4 to share and the pizza is perfect to share. We three adults share a chopped chicken (pollo) salad and large sausage pizza and it is plenty for us to eat. Both L & D are off the same menu. You must get zeppole for dessert!
Tutto Italia is more along the lines of a typical WDW restaurant. A selection of appetizers, followed by pastas, then meat & fish dishes. The mood here is a little more relaxed and it tends not to be as loud. With some of the pasta dishes, the portions seem smaller, but they are rich, heavy sauces like the gnochetti and fettuccine vecchia Roma. I can barely eat 3/4 of those dishes after a salad and after saving room for dessert and a fancy coffee! I enjoyed any of the appetizers with fresh mozzarella and the grand antipasto is gigantic!
Both menus are a la cart
Both tend to be more expensive than your average dinner at WDW (probably due to the fact that they are operated by a 3rd party)
We have had wonderful service at both restaurants, but I give Tutto the edge because you not only have a server, but an assistant who brings silverware, dishes, dessert menus etc..

Thanks so much for all the info! From your experience, it sounds like either one of these would work fine for our family.
