Question Tutto Italia reviews?

Has anyone dined here recently? We have this booked for the CP package in December. Would love to hear thoughts on this one.

Thanks!

We ate there last year and enjoyed it so much we have 2 ressies (lunch and dinner) for our fall trip. It is very expensive, but a great deal on the DDP - only 1 TS credit! We had a wonderful meal here, the whole family enjoyed it (including my 3 boys and my DMum!).

We also did it last December and LOVED it. It's a definate on our list for next year (assuming it doesn't close and renovate like it's supposed to). Almost all of the recent reviews on AllEars.net are still very positive - so I'm guessing their still making people happy. I hope you enjoy it too!

We ate there in July and really enjoyed it! The food and the service was so much improved from Alfredo's. As stated above, it was a bit pricey (and we ate there at lunch), but I would eat there again in a heartbeat.

We ate there last December as part of the Candlelight Processional package and really enjoyed it. The service was great and the food was very good.

Definitely an excellent choice!

The food is delightful. The service was wonderful...and not only the waiter - the supporting staff were so much fun!

Enjoy!

I am Italian and I thought the food was phenomenal. The Italian waiters are so much a part of the experience. They describe the food perfectly. We have reservations for "Sunday pasta" for our upcoming trip in December.

Thanks for this thread!

We are considering Tutto for our trip in May (or should I say I am considering it ... nobody else will be ready to talk dining until it is too late - luckily I will have saved the day by making the right ADR's!)

Can you tell me a little more about the menu -- what are some of your favorite dishes? I've seen it on allears.net, but first hand recommendations are better!

If you had to choose Tutto or Le Celllier, which would you do? We have never been to either.

Thanks!

I fell in love with Sachetti and it wasn't even my meal! DS#2 Chat let everyone taste his choice because all of us were mesmerized by the way it looked. Here's the description: "pasta pillows filled with ricotta and mozzarella cheese and pomdoro sauce". And when they say pasta pillows - they aren't kidding! Absolutely delightful. The lightest pasta dish I've ever tasted! I'm writing it in pen - pasta pillows for the next Dtrip!

DS#1 Luke and I love lasagna so we each ordered it. It was very intriguing. Didn't know lasagna could be. You would take a bite and yup - it's lasagna, but then the next bite would have a contrasting flavor and your taste buds exploded. Very interesting!

DH had a dish I never would have ordered - Tagliolini con Granchio, Pomodorini Alle Erbe. The description: "tagliolini pasta topped with crabmeat, sweet tomato and garlic". Another absolutely surprising, light pasta dish! I'm so glad he offered a taste! The crab was fresh and sweet, the pasta thin and the sauce light. Delicious.

Tutto Italia or Le Cellier - now there's a great question! Both are excellent choices. Le Cellier is heavy on steaks and I their salmon. The cheese soup is as well as the breads. So it is always a good meal. But Tutto Italia was an exceptional meal this last trip. It outshined Le Cellier in service and food.

So I would say - what does your Dgang like more? Steak/Salmon or Pasta?

On our visit last year, I was able to get Trofie Pasta (Trofie - Ligurian pasta with pine-nut basil pesto and fagiolini green beans) on the Dinner menu, but I now see it's only on the lunch menu. It was delicious. I love basil pesto and the whole dish was perfect. DH ordered Tagliata di Manzo with fennel and arugula salad. He really enjoyed the steak part of the dish, but found out that he isn't a fan of arugula. Actually, he found that out when he ate his appetizer Insalata Mista. I had the Fresh "Bufala" Mozzarella for my appetizer and it was great! DS had the Mozzarella sticks and Pizzetta. The sticks were pretty good, but the pizza was pretty dry and bland. My 3 year old didn't mind, but older kids might not be thrilled with it.

As for choosing between Le Cellier and Tutto Italia, that's a hard one. Le Cellier, not because we didn't like it, didn't make our list for next year. We really enjoyed it last year, but decided there are tons of great steak houses around here that go to while in town. Tutto Italia is much more different, for us, than a lot of the restaurants we get to visit here in town. So we picked it to give us something different.

Yum! Sachetti and Tagliolini con Granchio, Pomodorini Alle Erbe sound heavenly!!!

Now, I just want to make sure I have this straight (because I sometimes get confused - WDW is so big!) Tutto Italia is in EPCOT, right? Il Mulino is in the Swan and Dolphin and completely different restaurant, correct?
