Influenced Too Easily: A Tale of ADR's

[DeterminedOne]

I was pretty sure my ADR choices were set. Until I saw this picture on Instagram.

Tutto Italia wasn't even on my radar ...
Anyone else suffer from wanting a certain food because seeing it in a picture, commercial, movie, etc?
And what are your thoughts aboutTutto Italia? This spaghetti and meatballs looks ahhhhmazing!

 

[lovin'fl]

Yeah, I could eat that right now. MMMMM. We have never been to Tutto because many in our family do not like Italian. It is my fave and I would LOVE to go there. I keep trying. Maybe soon.

But... it's just spaghetti and meatballs. Keep your ADRs as they are, make spaghetti for supper tonight!

We love Tutto and it is the best Italian food I have experienced in WDW. Then again, we have never been to Trattoria al Forno or Il Mulino.

HAHA, I couldn't agree more and maybe it's because I'm Italian, I don't know, and I have grown up with way more visually appealing and extravagantly composed pasta dishes than the one in that picture, that I wouldn't look at it twice and find both it's pasta and especially it's meatballs, to be quite paltry and meager both in composition and size.

Even the fake Italian food at the Olive Garden puts out pictures with more wow factor and pizzazz and ample size than that.

But I kid, really, I understand what you mean in your original post LOL. I have changed or made decisions about dining because of pictures or hearing about new menu dishes in the past both in Disney and elsewhere, and in this case, that Tutto Italia picture also qualifies in that it would be a deterrent to me eating there!

And I have eaten there before, and like all the Disney Italian eateries since they got rid of Alfredos a decade ago, I was less than impressed, but it wasn't bad! (like Tony's Town Square)

It's the beef, veal and pork meatballs that got me. That's not how I make meatballs. Yum!

They were pretty good meatballs! Beef, veal and pork make for the tastiest meatballs for sure!

We also love Tutto. Forced ourselves to skip it last trip to try new things.

We love Tutto have lunch there every trip. Never tried the spaghetti and meatballs but love the lasagna and eggplant parm.

We love the apps at tutto, so good

 

[shocker]

That's why its called 'food porn'

I like the whole dining experience at Tutto Italia. I love going solo so I don't have to share the olives

 

[DeterminedOne]

Thanks, all. Appreciate the commentary.
I changed lunch ADR from Spice Road to Tutto. Just had Moroccan (Marrakesh) a few months ago, so it doesn't feel like I'm giving up anything major. Have never eaten in, or really explored the World of Italy. (The perfume store gives me a headache every time, so I stopped going to that area altogether.) Looking forward to it!

Now you have me checking this place out ( NEVER on my radar at all). I love 50's Prime Time so we'll see...….
