Tutto Italia Ristorante Review

From Mexico to Canada, World Showcase at EPCOT is home to many wonderful restaurants. It can be difficult to choose a restaurant when there are so many great options! One pavilion that never disappoints with their restaurants is Italy. 

On a recent visit to Walt Disney World, my family and I dined at Tutto Italia Ristorante. It had been awhile since we'd dined here so I was looking forward to revisiting this restaurant. 

Located in the Italy pavilion, Tutto Italia brings Old World ambience and serves traditional Italian favorites. We were seated in the dining room but there's also an outdoor patio with seating. The dining room is filled with murals of ancient Rome, rich colors and sparkling chandeliers.

Our table was a half booth in the back corner of the restaurant and it was absolutely perfect because my youngest was fast asleep when we arrived at the restaurant. We were able to get him out of his stroller and place him on the booth without him waking up. He stayed there and continued to sleep for our entire meal! The restaurant wasn't that quiet either! The little guy was just so tuckered out from a fun-filled day at the parks that he slept through dinner.
Comfy booths, perfect for naps!
The menu, created by award-winning chef and California restaurateur Joachim Splichal, includes authentic Italian dishes. We started our meal with some appetizers and bread. We ordered the "Fior di Latte" Caprese and Calamari Fritti. Both appetizers were delicious.

Red and yellow grape tomato salad, balsamic emulsion, extra virgin olive oil
Calamari Fritti
served with Marinara Piccante
We each ordered something different for our entrees and there was a lot of sharing around the table. We ordered the Parmigiana, Spaghetti, Gnocchi Sorrentina, and Lasagne alla Bolognese. My oldest son who stayed awake for the meal ordered the cheese pizza from the kids menu. Everyone loved their meal! The portions were quite large and even after sharing, we had some leftovers. 
Parmigiana
Breaded chicken breast, mozzarella, parmesan, fresh spaghetti and tomato sauce
Spaghetti
Beef and pork meatballs, pomodoro sauce
Gnocchi Sorrentina
Potato dumplings, roasted tomatoes, pomodoro sauce, burrata cheese
Lasagne alla Bolognese
Traditional preparation from Emilia-Romagna with beef and ragù, béchamel, parmesan
Kids Cheese Pizza
I'm sad to report that we were too full to try any of the desserts. I guess that shows just how much we enjoyed our appetizers and entrees! If you love Italian food, or just love good food, then I would add Tutto Italia Ristorante to your list of must-dine restaurants at EPCOT. It's a solid choice for a wonderful meal. 

Tutto Italia is available for lunch and dinner. Advance reservations are highly recommended and can be made 60 days in advance. Make sure you let your Kingdom Konsultant agent know if you'd like to make a reservation at Tutto Italia for your next Walt Disney World vacation.

5 Ways To Get Psyched For Your Disney Trip!

Hey-Howdy-Hey, Disney Guys and Gals!      Is anyone familiar with Barney Stinson's "Get Psyched" Mix? Anyone? How I Met your Mother Fans? Ok, great! So you totally get where I'm going with this! If you have no idea what I am talking about, you can watch a clip  HERE!  Basically, the theory is that no matter what's going on in your life, you can get yourself psyched up and ready for something awesome to happen, all by listening to the right piece of music. Playing off of that theory, I feel that one of the very best things about a Disney trip is actually  preparing  for it, or getting psyched! You can have a whole bunch of crappy stuff happening in your life at the time, but if you have a Disney trip on the horizon... even if it's 564 days away, you have something to look forward to and enjoy preparing yourself for. In fact, many Disney fans, (myself included), pretty much get from one day to the next by preparing for upcoming trips. You may even book a ne

The Villas at the Disneyland Hotel Review

I love staying at the Disneyland Hotel so when I got the opportunity to stay at the new Villas at the Disneyland Hotel during opening weekend, I couldn’t pass it up. Because it was opening weekend, we were greeted in the entrance way of the lobby with balloons and many photo opportunities. When we arrived, there was a mural of the Haunted Mansion. I love how the seats in the main lobby were designed like the teacups in the parks. You can check in using the Disneyland app, drop your bags with bell services and head into the parks or use the amenities why you wait until your room is ready. When your room is ready, the resort will send you a text and you can use the Disneyland app on your mobile device to unlock the room. We dropped off our bags and went straight to the parks. We received a text around 1PM that our room was ready. In the new Discovery Tower (the Villas), you'll find that the lobby is very spacious with many places to sit while you read or wait for your family. Th

Universal's Volcano Bay Private Cabana Review

On a recent training in Universal Orlando Resort, agents Maci, Ashley, Aubrey and Yaritza and I rented a private cabana for the day at Universal's Volcano Bay. There are multiple locations around the park along with the option to have an upper or lower level, all of which reflect in various pricing. Agent Ashley received an email the day before informing her of where to check-in the next morning. While we were personally escorted to the cabana shortly after check in, the line at the check in location is the same as those getting towels, meaning it was not short. As expressed by an additional guest checking into a different cabana, we would have greatly appreciated a separate line, since this caused our group about a half hour wait. We're all adults and made great use of our time getting some fun pictures before the park was filled with guests, but this is important to be aware of if you are traveling with children.  We had an upper level Cabana which came with a splendid view!
