We tried the Fritto Misto ($24), which is an "assortment of just-fried seasonal vegetables, fish & cheese to be shared by the table".  The asparagus was especially tasty,  I tried several samples of it just to make sure that I did like it! 🙂  We were served Acqua Fresca drinks ($5) alongside the food items, they come in 3 flavors – Limonata, Blood Orange and Strawberry (with real pieces of strawberry inside, it is my favorite).  These are not drinks that come with refills, unlike a soda or tea.

 

 

 

We tried a variety of pizza slices, including the Margherita, Quattro Formaggi, and Carciofi.  One pizza I can't find on the menu, we were told it has olive oil and basil (but no mozzarella cheese).  It was actually extremely good!  I'd had a 4 cheese pizza a couple of weeks ago that was too heavy on the parmesan, but that wasn't the case at Via Napoli.  I found it had just the right amount of each cheese to compliment the crust.  My favorite would be a simple Margherita pizza, but they were all excellent.  The pizza ranges from $16 for an individual to $27 for a large, and $36 for 1/2 meter.  You can see the 1/2 meter in my original report, where I spent more time taking photos inside the restaurant as well.

 

 

 

 

The tiramus ($8) was creamy and delightful:

 

 

 

A server arrived with samples of Gelato Frizzante ($9), the menu says that it's "Ice Cream Soda served Italian Style". It's made with San Pellegrino's Aranciata and vanilla gelato. I enjoyed it, but my favorite dessert is still the Zeppole di Caterina ($10), which you can find in my original review.  We were served the Zeppole as well yesterday, without the whipped cream or chocolate sauce (and the fritters are just as good without the extra sweetness as they are with!)

I noticed that the outdoor seating area was set for guests this time:

Let me know in the comments – are you looking forward to trying Via Napoli? 

Thank you to Via Napoli for letting us be part of this fun event, we have enjoyed both of our visits to the restaurant and look forward to going back soon.  Via Napoli does take Tables in Wonderland for 20% off, the Annual Pass lunch 10% discount and the Disney Dining Plan. There is also a childrens menu, the entrees are all $9.50, appetizers $6.00 and desserts $5.  This may be my favorite table service restaurant in Epcot now!
