When you first enter the Italy pavilion in Epcot’s World Showcase you find yourself feeling as though you were transported to Venice itself. With classic architecture and the distinct attention to detail that Disney does best, the Italy Pavilion is an attraction unto itself. Worth noting to visit here before or after you dine: the fountain of Neptune, and the replica bell tower of that found in St. Mark’s Square.
When you enter Tutto Italia, you will immediately be taken aback by the decorations, there are murals and paintings from the classical period of ancient Rome, and the sparkle of chandeliers and lighting accents that make the room dazzle. Tutto Italia is a pricier alternative to Via Napoli.
On the menu, guests will find something for everyone. There are options for children and vegetarians as well as those who are connoisseurs of Italians cuisine. The menu was created by award-winning Joachim Splichal and it does not disappoint. From your antipasto to your cannoli you will find every piece of your meal at Tutto Italia exquisite.
Tutto Italia is part of the Disney Dining Plan, and is one table service credit per member of your travel party. The menu here is fabulous-you can see the full menu HERE. It’s an experience to dine here-and would make for a great celebratory or special occasion dinner while at EPCOT’s World Showcase.
Overall, we give Tutto Italia an “A+”.
My husband and I went here for dinner in February 2011. I’m the type that likes to look at menus, so I knew beforehand what I’d be ordering. I ordered the Cannelloni al Forno and was pleased. I hadn’t had bechamel sauce before, and it was good. Doug ordered the Brasato Di Manzo Al Vino Rosso and raved about it for days. My favorite part? The cannoli. It was truly the cannoli I had been waiting all my life for. The outer shell had just the right amount of crispness, and the cream filling was light, but filled with flavor. Our server was very pleasant and attentive. She and a few other servers came over to our table with a mousse-filled chocolate cup, and sang to us for our anniversary (we had the pins on) We look forward to going here again, that’s for sure! (If I could just eat a whole meal of that cannoli, I totally would) 🙂
