A new restaurant Via Napoli opened it's doors in the Italy pavilion at EPCOT yesterday, Mickey and Minnie were in attendance in traditional Italian attire as well as Dan Cockrell (Vice President of EPCOT), Nick Valenti (CEO of Patina Restaurant Group (PRG), which operates Via Napoli) and Chef Joachim Splichal (founder of PRG).

Diners can experience a vast range of Italian fare including: pastas, salads, gelato and Neapolitan, wood-fired pizza.

The restaurant is currently accepting walk ins, but doesn't officially open for reserved dining until Sepetember 10th so call and book your spot now (407-WDW-DINE).

I really can't wait to experience this restaurant when we travel there next year, Italian food is a firm favourite with my family so it will be interesting to see how it compares to the Italian offerings already present at the Walt Disney Resort.
