GRAND OPENING! Via Napoli at Epcot: Via Napoli, an authentic Neapolitan pizzeria operated by the Patina Restaurant Group, will open Aug. 5 in the Italy pavilion at Epcot World Showcase. The restaurant will feature wood-burning ovens – and will use water from a source that most resembles the water in Naples, Italy, home of some of the world’s best pizza dough. This 300-seat pizzeria will feature a menu inspired by the famous pizzerias of southern Italy. The menu also will feature pastas, salads, sandwiches and Italian wines.
