Selection, porch seating is boring

While there's not much selection if you're ISO a light lunch (we spent $60 for two drinks, 2 sandwiches and a tip), the paninis are quite tasty.
I would rather have been seated in the main dining room where the ambiance has a bit more oomph, but the service was excellent.

We dined at Tutto Italia twice during our recent visit. Both times for dinner. We had the spaghetti and meatballs, lasanga, gnocchetti and fetticine. Everything was so delicious and authentic Italian. I love the bread service and olives they start you with. Desserts here are excellent. We had the tiramisu, cheesecake and cannoli. The waitstaff here is so friendly, professional and efficient. Our drinks were never allowed to go below half full. This is my favorite restaurant in all of Disney World. I cannot wait to dine here again.

My family and I ate here on April 26th we had reservations for 8:10 and we arrived at 7:00 they sat us right away our server, Pablo, was AMAZING. Food was outstanding. We have been dining at this restaurant for 5 years in a row and this had to be the best meal. One of the waitresses was walking by and knocked into my husband and dropped a whole cup of gelato on his back all over his shirt. After we finished laughing at him, the manager, Dimas, had a new shirt waiting for him. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for GREAT food and always a friendly staff.

Have now eaten here 3 times, twice absolutely fantastic and once good but not great. We find this to be one of the best restaurants in Epcot when the service is good, but poor service at this restaurant can spoil the meal. The choices are good, the portions decent and the chefs choice appetizer plate can be excellent. On our trip this year it was one of the two best restaurants on our trip. It is now on our repeat list for each visit.

What a find! I am sorry we waited so long to try this restaurant. We had lovely service from charming Italian gentlemen. The appetizer for two was more than enough for the three of us. My mother had the braised pork with polenta - and after I wrestled a bite away from her, I decided that's what I'm having next time. My aunt and I had the orricchetti pasta with Italian sausage. My aunt swears it's just like her grandma Frappolli made. It was a great start to our trip!

We really looked forward to eating here for our Candlelight Dinner before the Processional, as the last trip we had, this place was fantastic.
I wish I could say it was good this time. We were a part of 6 adults, no kids, Deluxe Dining plan. We were seated quickly (a big plus!) and ordered appetizers - I had the Calamari, which was very tasty, but the sauce was filled with red pepper flakes, and they just over-powered the rest.
For dinner, I ordered Spaghetti and Meatballs - now, while I am not Italian, I make home-made Spaghetti and meatballs, using my home grown tomatoes. I was really wanting to try "the real thing", but what I was served was not even close to my sauce. It was VERY bland - like out of a jar from the grocery store. The meatballs, while large, had no flavor at all...very disappointing. For dessert, I ordered Tiramisu...a favorite! It was watery and really lacking in flavor.
When our waiter asked how everything was, I told him the truth, and he looked very pained. He said that the sauce is imported right from Italy... and then apologized profusely, and told me next time we were in Italy, to look him up and he would take us to a place where they had really GOOD Italian food! I might just have to do that!
The tables in this restaurant are VERY close together, and the wait stations are almost in your lap.
I don't think we'll be back.

too many tables in small space, wrong order, chaos
|

I had wanted to eat here for many years and was finally able to snag a reservation. Unfortunately, it wasn't as nice as I'd hoped it would be. My 9 year old daughter, 2 year old son and I ate here for dinner on Dec. 3rd. We were seated fairly quickly at a table in the main dining room in the middle of complete chaos. The tables were very close together and the waiters who were walking around had a hard time navigating around. There were a lot of servers. Our server was gorgeous. A Very friendly man from Italy. However, he was overwhelmed. I ordered the calamari for my appetizer. I thought it was very good. For my entree, I ordered the fettuccine, but the server brought spaghetti to my table. I politely explained that they brought me the wrong order and they quickly brought out the correct entree. The food was just ok. Nothing really special. For dessert, I had the tiramisu and it was pretty good. The server kept coming around way too much and I almost felt annoyed that I couldn't enjoy my food in peace. Later on in my vacation, I also found out that the restaurant made a mistake with my deluxe dining plan and charged too many meals to my account. My hotel had to fix it. Maybe they were having a bad night so I wouldn't say that I would never return, however, they do need some work on fixing some problems.

Prices are very high. We had a dining plan, but without it, dinner for four was over 200.00. Food was pretty good, one kid LOVED this place a lot. (lasagna) I thought it was ok, but being an Italian myself, I have a different idea of the kind of food I like (spicier). The dessert with strawberries and cream was wonderful as was the cannoli. Service was excellent,very enjoyable all around.

My sister and I ate here on Oct.17 and although the food was wonderful we were rushed from the moment we walked in. I had made advanced dining reservations for 2:00 and we got there 20 minutes early and they took us to our table right away, no waiting. I did notice there were only 5 other tables that had guests so it wasn't busy at all. We ordered wine and a shared appetizer which appeared 5 minutes later. We told the waiter we wanted time to look over the menu while we had the appetizer. 10 minutes later he came to take our order, which seemed o.k. because I thought it would take a while for our entrees' to appear. Well, 5 minutes later he comes out with our lunch. Really??, we weren't finished with the appetizer so we're trying to rearrange the dishes on the table to make room. When we finished the waiter brought our bill and we had to ask to see a dessert menu. We did get coffee(which the waiter forgot to bring and I had to ask for twice), and dessert. $150.00 and 35 minutes later we were walking out. The food was wonderful, but if you want a slow paced, relaxing meal this may not be the place to get it.

Our family had dinner at Tutto Italia on October 8th. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was good... we had the lasagna, fettucini and filleto di spada. The desserts were the best we had on our vacation - the cannoli is delicious! Everyone raved about the desserts (tiramisu, gelato). My only complaint is that our bill came to over $200 for our family of 5. Two hundred dollars for a pasta dinner is ridiculous. Fortunately, we were on the Disney dining plan so we didn't actually pay that price but still that's crazy! I also expected to be able to taste a difference in the pasta - I couldn't tell if it was homemade or out of a box. It didn't taste any different than what I make at home. We have good (local) Italian restaurants in our area that are just as good. We enjoyed our food but we won't go back unless we are on the dining plan.

We ate here in September 2012. This was one of our favorite meals all trip. We ate spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, mozzarella sticks. All was great! Desserts were terrific. This was the fanciest meal my kids have ever been to and they had a blast. Waiters were funny and personable. Highly recommend. We will definitely be coming back.

I wish I could give this a 20 point rating. The best meal we had this trip. The food was awesome and the service unbeatable. Our waiter was the best. He made suggestions and even told us what not to order from the menu. Not many would do that. The appetizers were good. I highly recommend the mozzarella and roasted peppers. The other family members ordered caesar salads and a zucchini dish. Everyone raved about them. Two of us had the lasagna which was the best I have ever had. It was so creamy and melt in your mouth. Two others had the gnochetti which was pasta with sausage, etc. The last person had the fettucine alfredo. We all cleaned our plates. Make sure you get dessert. Two of us ordered the tiramisu which was unbelievable. One ordered the cannoli which was great and the other 2 had gelato which they raved about. Le Cellier used to be our must book restaurant until this trip. It has gone downhill since our last trip 2 years ago. Tutto Italia will be the restaurant we will plan our trip around in the future.

We ate here on July 12th for dinner... WOW! We were so disappointed!
We arrived a half hour early and asked if they could take us and they said no problem. I was surprised to see as many empty tables as I did because I know it can be hard to get a reservation here. Now I know why!
From the moment we sat down our server, although pleasant, kept coming and asking us if we were ready or had any questions. He was helpful explaining some of the dishes.
Overall the menu wasn't really diverse and not alot of choices when you come down to it. We started with calamari for the table which was good. We were about 3/4 of the way done with it and our dinner arrived! We all looked at each other and the server and then started making room on the table.
I got the Gnochetti, my husband got the spaghetti and meatballs, my daughter got the chicken dish, and my son got the meatballs & shortribs with polenta, and our friend got the Tonnarelli. We were expecting fresh, homemade pasta... everyone's pasta was too al dente and tasted like it came out of a box. My son said the short rib was great. The description on the menu didn't seem to match the meals we received... except for the spaghetti and meatballs and my husband who likes al dente pasta was disappointed as well. My son got a dessert and I had cappacino. We were so rushed we were out of there in about 40 minutes! Even using my Tables in Wonderland card... it was not worth what they are charging!
Just really disappointing... nothing special about the meal at all.

This was not a good experience for my family. Even the kids complained about their spaghetti. How bad can spaghetti be? My husband had the gnocchetti with sweet sausage ragu, which is something he normally would love. Unfortunately, he said this version was comparable to Chef Boyardee. Quite expensive Chef Boyardee! My lasagna was also nothing special, fairly bland. They are still tweaking things after the reopening, and it looks like they have more work to do. On a positive note, our servers were excellent, keeping our drinks full and bread coming.
