\"Via<\/a><\/p>\n

When we tried Via Napoli<\/a> for the first time a few years ago, it quickly became one of our favorite and most repeated Epcot restaurants.\u00a0 I grew up eating authentic Italian food, and Via Napoli nails it with their cuisine.\u00a0 They even import water from Italy to make their pizza dough!<\/p>\n

The restaurant is tucked toward the back of the Italy pavilion, and has a casual, open air atmosphere.\u00a0 I think this is a great place for families and for large groups to enjoy a meal together.<\/p>\n

\"Via<\/a><\/p>\n

The pizza ovens bake a great pizza and are nicely themed!\u00a0 Each oven is named after a volcano in Italy!\u00a0 It\u2019s always fun for us to watch the open kitchen area.<\/p>\n

\"Via<\/a><\/p>\n

For every time we have dined here, the servers have been welcoming and the atmosphere comfortable.\u00a0 Our recent meal started with warm bread and olive oil for dipping the bread.<\/p>\n

\"Via<\/a><\/p>\n

I decided to go with a classic comfort food meal, beer and pizza!\u00a0 The beer flight was a good choice for me because it gave me a chance to try a few different beers.\u00a0 My flight consisted of a Moretti Lager, Moretti La Rossa, and a seasonal selection which was Alla Spina.\u00a0 Sampling three beers was fun!<\/p>\n

\"Via<\/a><\/p>\n

I have had a few of their pizzas, and went with the pepperoni pizza this time.\u00a0 It was a perfect pizza at every bite!\u00a0 This isn\u2019t just one of my favorite pizzas at Walt Disney World.\u00a0 It\u2019s one of my favorite pizzas anywhere I\u2019ve had a pizza.<\/p>\n

\"Via<\/a><\/p>\n

My son opted for the Linguine allo Scoglio, which is linguine with shrimp, clams, mussels, and squid in a tomato sauce.\u00a0 He said that he wasn\u2019t fond of the squid, which is probably a matter of personal taste, but enjoyed the rest of the dish and said that he\u2019d be happy to order it again.<\/p>\n

\"Via<\/a><\/p>\n

My daughter ordered Spaghetti e Polpettine, spaghetti and veal meatballs with tomato sauce.\u00a0 This was served in a way too big portion for her, but she enjoyed what she could eat.\u00a0 I tried a meatball, and was impressed with the quality and taste of it.<\/p>\n

\"Via<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the reasons we like Via Napoli so much is that we enjoy the desserts as much as the entrees here!\u00a0 The desserts at Via Napoli never disappoint!\u00a0 I do wish that they would offer a dessert sampler because it\u2019s hard to choose what to order to end your meal.\u00a0 If there were such a thing as too many good options, that exists at Via Napoli.<\/p>\n

I went with the Coppa di Brutti Ma Buoni sundae, the \u201cUgly but Good\u201d Sundae.\u00a0 Oh, my word\u2026\u2026.Was it ugly?\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 Was it good?\u00a0 Heck to the yes!\u00a0 Seriously, this is one of the best desserts I\u2019ve had at Walt Disney World!\u00a0 It\u2019s an ararena cherry and vanilla gelato sundae.\u00a0 \u00a0I\u2019d visit Via Napoli \u00a0for dessert someday just to enjoy this again.<\/p>\n

\"Via<\/a><\/p>\n

Equally good was the Zeppole di Caterina dessert that my son ordered.\u00a0 This is ricotta cheese fritters, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce.\u00a0 We all tried a fritter with the fixings, and we all agreed that this is what \u201chappy\u201d tastes like.<\/p>\n

\"Via<\/a><\/p>\n

My daughter ordered the chocolate gelato and savored it!<\/p>\n

\"Via<\/a><\/p>\n

We nearly had to be rolled out of Via Napoli once our meal was finished, but we enjoyed the casual dining atmosphere and every bite of food. \u00a0The only improvement I wish this restaurant could make is to offer pizza delivery within a 1,000 mile radius from Epcot!<\/p>\n
