When it comes to dining at Disney World, you have so many choices, especially at EPCOT, which is famous for its wide array of tasty restaurants.
We recently visited Via Napoli in EPCOT's Italy Pavilion, originally opened in 2010, to see how it's holding up as one of our favorite spots. We’re here with our full review to help you decide if it should be on your list during your next visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth.
Atmosphere: We love the laid-back atmosphere at Via Napoli, tucked away in the Italy Pavilion. It's beautifully decorated yet not overwhelming, making it a relaxing spot during a busy park day. From the main dining room, you can see the giant ovens baking pizzas and more. Though it’s bustling, it doesn’t feel too loud or hectic. We sat in the side sunroom, which was stunning with natural sunlight streaming in, creating a serene ambiance with regular tables and chairs.
Menu: This Italian restaurant serves up a variety of small plates, salads, pasta dishes, pizzas, and Italian sides. Signature options include Antipasti, Chicken Parmesan, Branzino, and the famous pizzas ranging from individual to group sizes. You can also customize your own pizza with plenty of toppings. Dessert lovers will find choices like Tiramisu and Cannolo, and there's a kids’ menu too.
Drinks: While mocktails aren’t on the menu, there's plenty of variety, from sodas to an array of cocktails, wines, and beers. Margarita pizza lovers might be disappointed by the vegan cheese, so consider alternatives like vegetable toppings.
Eats & Drinks: We tried a few selections, including the Limoncello Mule—a fruity delight balanced with ginger beer—and the refreshing Strawberry Housemade Agua Fresca. The Arancini and Homemade Focaccia were flavorful, with the latter gaining a special spot on our favorites list. The Tortellini is a must-try for comfort food fans, featuring a cheesy and indulgent sauce with pancetta and peas. The Carciofi pizza, great for artichoke fans, and the Vegan Margherita Pizza didn't hit the mark due to the cheese texture.
Overall: Via Napoli remains a top choice for its stellar food, service, and inviting atmosphere. If you're an Italian food fan, this is a must-visit on your Disney World list. We found ourselves wondering why it isn't talked about more often!
