Via Napoli vs Tutto Italia

[JusticeDisney]

Hey, everyone! My family and I are looking to try one of these two restaurants on our next trip. We've never been to either and I was wondering what you all would recommend.

Thanks in advance for your insight!

Via Napoli!! Love the traditional true Italian pizza (from Italy not to be compared with New York style that people always try to compare it to lol) They even export from Italy the flour for the dough etc. Also the best fried calamari appitizer we have ever had it's done perfectly. And the deserts and other appetizers are all delicious too. I would not do pasta at Via Napoli since their specialty and star is the pizza. We like Mama Melrose for a pasta option. They have a delicious spicy seafood pasta and another cream sauce based spicy pasta that you can get with shrimp or chicken. Tutto Italia is good too but we prefer the other 2 for our Italian food fix while at WDW.

We do Via Napoli for pizza, haven't had their pastas. I haven't done a regular meal at Tutto Italia but the food and wine lunch we had there last September was great.

Dined at both in September and thought the food at Tutto was spectacular! Thought I was at a signature restaurant. Granted, we went for steak and lamb over pasta...but it was fab and the Bacio al Cioccolato was to die for.

Via Napoli was good, but not great. But if your heart wants pizza, you'll be happy with the choice. I just thought Tutto was far more memorable.

My vote is for tutto I agree it felt like a signature dining experience and the food was amazing especially the steak. I've also been to Via Napoli and had the worst service I have ever had at Disney but I know others like it.

I totally agree. We went a few years back. Our meal at Tutto was a very memorable experience, the service, the food, and the ambience. We didn't go to Via until our next trip. It was a neat experience but we all agreed Tutto was by far superior in every way. My daughter loved it so much that on a return trip, Tutto was the one place she picked to take her boyfriend for their special time away during our 11/15 trip.

Via Napoli for pizza (best on property!), but Tutto Italia for regular Italian dishes, such as lasagna. We love both, and that's how we split it up.

It's technically Neapolitan style pizza. There isn't really a "true italian" style pizza that I am aware of.

Yes you technically could say that. They did research and go to certain regions of Italy to come up with the concept for the menu and restaurant, and like noted they do import the flour and such from Italy as well. Just was trying to make sure people know it's not supposed to be like New York style pizza that people constantly compare it to. lol I love New York style pizza and love the style at Via Napoli as well.

I have never been to Tutto, but as a person from Providence, RI (where in Prov and nearby towns house the most Italians in the USA) and have eaten at many Italian places in the North End of Boston, I can say that I was quite nervous about dining at Via Napoli. We were delighted by the pizzas! My friend said they were the best pizzas outside of Naples, so we trusted her. They were delicious! I got the one with artichokes, fontina, and truffle oil--amazing!
