Via Napoli - opening day photos and report

[raven]

The dedicated Stroller Parking area. Ha! I saw that area last week and wondered what it was for. Let's see how long that lasts though before another entrance becomes a hazard.

Wow, that is definitely a gorgous resturant, definitely gona stop in there next trip to Epcot. But now this stunning building is making the side of Neptune's fountain look very bare, they should add some hedges or something to that wall.

WOW! Via Napoli looks amazing! I love the ovens and their volcano names. Can't wait to eat there next trip.

Exactly, maybe a marble plaque, or some benches, or a couple of haphazardly-placed Caravaggio posters, or a fresco of the Golfo di Napoli, or something that can lend some cultural texture.

By the way, the coat of arms (or stemma) above the main entrance is decorated with a horse head in tribute to the coat of arms of the Province of Naples, which also features a horse. (Unless the horse is Patina's corporate mascot, in which case this is just coincidence. :lookaroun )

can't wait......

Wow, absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to go there next year! Love the wood burning ovens, so Disney, lol. :sohappy:

BRAVO!!! can't wait to try it :slurp:

Sounds amazing. Very nice looking restaurant, and the pizzas look yummy. Can't wait to eat there someday.

 

[mp2bill]

Looks awesome! I especially love the pizza ovens. Can't wait to go back.

 

[DonaldDoleWhip]

Now I know what I'm having for lunch on Wednesday. :slurp:

 

[MarkTwain]

Looks great! Very open and Tuscan-looking. I love how much effort it sounds like the culinary team took to make the pizza taste authentic.

Maybe we'll be able to eat lunch there this upcoming Christmas...

WS has always presented an idealised environment. Even the posters you mentioned were not intended to look "real". Leave the "Disney realism" in DAK.

What needs to be real is the food. And it appears to be so in many instances. BTW, I lived in Italy for a couple years so I'm qualified to say that. Awesome job by all! :sohappy:

Really JT where abouts I am somewhat familiar with the place myself.

 

[DisneyMusician2]

Just can't wait to try it. It appears at first glance that TDO actually outsourced something and might have gotten it right for once.

Looks great!

Yeah, that caught my eye. That and how long until somone strips the lemon trees bare.

But then thats not a refelection on the restaruant (which looks great) but on the guests.

The proof will come later when I actualy get to eat there.

It's beautiful! I love those ovens...I have been lucky enough to enjoy authentic pizza while touring Naples so I'm curious to see how it compares. Those special drinks looked so tasty too.

Unfortunately it will be awhile until I get to experience it for myself. Something to look forward to I guess.

Thanks for the pictures and report! :sohappy:

Looks good!!!! I love pretty much love all of the pizzas at WDW from the Boardwalk window to Pizzafari and I cant wait to try these too.

Priority Seating

I tried to book Dinner for this Saturday on the web site. No luck. Restaurant isn't on the site.

Is Via Napoli considered a PS location?

Any info/help would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

I can't wait to give this a go. The setting looks airy, open and inviting. Never mind the food and drink... :lol:

I can't help but notice the split wood below the ovens, very nice theme. One could easily assume the ovens are wood burners as I did. One question I have though is why the gas line shut off between ovens 2 and 3? Yellow plumbing, quick turn valve near the floor. :shrug: I guess its a safety thing, but it is too bad they could not have put it in a little bit more inconspicuous spot.
