Via Napoli Grand Opening Celebration Set for September 10

Disney-goers now have a second table-service restaurant option in Epcot's Italy pavillion. Via Napoli, currently open for walk-up service only, will see a grand opening celebration September 10.

Guests in Epcot's Italy craving authentic pizza can get their fix at Via Napoli. The restaurant is said to import such classic pizza ingredients as cheese and tomato sauce as well as water used in making their dough. During this walk-up phase, remarks on Via Napoli's offerings have been positive.

Epcot's restaurant broadens the Patina Group's Via Napoli franchise and joins restaurants of the same name in Disneyland and New York locations.

While September 10 marks the official grand opening celebration, it also marks the date in which you can start making advance dining reservations. Via Napoli reservations can be made by calling (407) WDW-DINE.
