 Hey friends today, I am at Epcot, and I'm continuing my adventure of eating at all the restaurants around world showcase We've already done the beer garden the cellier Tepanito and even San Angelin, but tonight we are at the Italy Pavilion, and we are dining at the Annapolis So let's go do this I am Italian. So of course Italian food is my favorite. I love the pizza I love the chicken parm and the pasta So this is gonna be a good one and I am prepared to eat a lot of food Before we get checked in for our reservation I like to walk around and give you a look at the pavilion and point out some interesting things And then maybe afterwards if we have time we'll do a little bit more exploring I just love all of the different pavilions at Epcot And it's good to just take the time and actually experience each one And that's one of the perks of living here is I get to do that and I just love it. It's amazing Normally these flowers aren't here They're just getting ready for flower and garden festival But I think it looks so beautiful and one thing I always like to point out is a nifty hidden Mickey in the pavilions So I'm gonna show you one of my personal favorite hidden Mickey's just over here by Neptune It's gonna be a little bit loud because we're gonna be peeking in to a water fountain, but it's definitely worth it to see If you take a look at the rock work behind the statue I'm not gonna exactly tell you where it's at But if you can see it, let me know in the comments and that's where you're gonna find a really really cool hidden Mickey There are two different Italian restaurants here in the Italy pavilion We have Via Napoli and then Tutu Italia and both of them actually serve pretty good food Tutu Italia is more of a higher end Italian food and Via Napoli is known for their pizza But today I want to actually get something from Via Napoli That's not pizza. I know that's hard because the pizza is amazing, but I want to try the chicken parm. Why not? It is so hard like I said to not get the pizza when you come here But I really need to know how the chicken parm is and plus I actually might look into options of getting the pizza But not a full portion because I can't eat a whole pizza and the chicken parm So we're gonna see what we can do about that. Maybe there's a special way For the longest time, I've only ever gotten pizza from the takeout window here But then I recently discovered that it's not the same pizza This pizza is different from the pizza they serve in the restaurant So when I actually did get to eat at Via Napoli, I was like holy moly I love this pizza. Let me know in the comments if you've had both and what pizza is your favorite Something really interesting to point out I never see these doors actually shut because it's so busy people are usually walking in and out But look at that for the first time ever One of my favorite things about this restaurant is the theming inside So when we get to our table, I'm going to try to show you some of the cool things that they have in here Probably my favorite thing is the pizza ovens themselves and you'll see what I'm talking about The coolest thing is the actual Wood-fired ovens that they cook all the pizzas in they're named after the three big volcanoes in Italy Stromboli, Vesuvio and Inna and look at them. Don't they look so fancy? I absolutely love it. Can you see all the pizzas in there cooking in the fire? Very fancy. Oh, wow. Look at all those pies This is going to be so amazing For the first time ever I'm actually going to be dining on the outside area I've never dined out here before so it's going to be a new experience I like it usually they have these windows open But it's really not the nicest weather to have the windows open But you get a little breeze a little bit Now that I'm at the table, I can take my mask off relax a little bit And I ordered myself a poroni and I like that they have beer actually served in like little beer mugs themselves Here's nice Italian beer. I love it We can take a look at the menu that they actually have online And you can see I wanted to go with the chicken parm. I already discussed that But I wanted to get pizza and they have a kids one And then they also have a individual one, which is a 10 inch pizza for 21 dollars So we're going to see what we can do here I did go with the chicken parm in I wanted to get the pizza Which I'm definitely not going to be able to eat all of it. There is an age restriction on the kids menu So I just went with the 10 dollar individual Piccanti, which is a spicy Italian sausage pizza So I'm definitely going to be taking a lot of this home in a box, but that's okay. It's good food and it makes amazing leftovers I asked them to actually bring out the food as soon as it's ready So the first thing that came out was the chicken parm and look at the size of this This is humongous, isn't it? Wow We're going to try to lift it up a little bit to see if we can get a look at the pasta underneath there That is an impressive chicken breast. I bet you it's a full entire chicken breast just basically butterflyed and Fried. I mean, this is this is it. This is big Another thing I'm worried about after seeing the size of this chicken parm I wanted to get terra masu So now I'm like really torn because when you start to eat something and it's good You don't want to stop so I'm nervous that that's going to happen with this chicken parm But I have to remember I got pizza coming and then also the terra masu So we're going to take it nice and slow. That's the plan You're going to cut off a little of the chicken first maybe right about here. Oh, yeah Oh, this is going to be too good. I already know look at this I got a little bit of pasta with the chicken. I'm excited. This is going to be amazing. Oh boy There she goes Oh my lord, this is phenomenal I love the noodles and I love the breading on the chicken. The sauce is just on point You know, I'm so happy that I've gotten something to eat here That wasn't the pizza and now it really is it's just really good food here. Like I know it It's not just the pizza folks, but as I was trying this chicken parm look at what showed up Oh my lord There it is This is going to be a lot of fun We're going to take our time though We're going to work a little bit on this then we're going to hop to that and then a little bit of this and then a little bit of that Okay, I couldn't resist. We're going to tag the pizza in. Oh, I don't know how I'm going to do this Oh, yeah, maybe I'll do this just slide it Just like that. Okay. Now it's time for the pizza Oh, look at look how they just big clumps of spicy sausage right on there and then underneath the pizza has a perfect crust That is amazing, isn't it? The last time I was here and I got the pizza I remember I got pepperoni and I got sausage and it was a much bigger pie And there was a lot of like floppiness this time. It's a smaller pie. No pepperoni No flop so like there's like no flop no new york flop and it's a much thinner crust So I think the 10 inch pie is a little bit better actually and I think I gave it an eight seven last time I think so it was an eight seven and uh, I don't know. I got high hopes for this one. This is this is looking really good Wow, I gotta say This is way better than the last time I had pizza here. I'd give this a solid nine Honestly, the crust is so perfect and everything's thin. I love this. This is good Now we're gonna tag the chicken parm back in I thought about maybe possibly taking some chicken parm and putting it on my pizza But then I decided to actually grab some of the sausage And put it on my pasta So now I have like a sausage pasta a chicken parm and sausage pizza. It's the best of both worlds right here The sausage and the pasta go really well together. That's a good dish right here Another thing you could do is take that leftover pizza crust And there you go get all that sauce That's the way I was able to finish all the chicken parm but I think I'm gonna take the pizza home with me because Pizza is better as a leftover than chicken parm. So tomorrow I'll be able to have some cold pizza and Yeah, kind of have like a nice little lunch, but I did save room. I am able to get some taramasu I'm not like full full. So I got three slices of pizza to take home and Enough room that I can try the taramasu taramasu And here is the taramasu. Look at this. Isn't this amazing? Can you see the coffee soaked ladyfingers in there? This is beautiful. I cannot wait to try it. It looks absolutely stunning I honestly don't even want to cut into it, but I have to oh boy Look at that. Oh no So good I don't know if I had like a perfect try effected today, but everything I've tried has been absolutely amazing And I think this is gonna be amazing too From the chocolate powder just went down my throat. I've stopped me now Dare I say this is the best taramasu I've ever had I absolutely think so. Look at that. You can see how Like you can see the coffee still on the bottom of the plate. Do you see that? Oh, this is this is amazing Dinner was absolutely amazing. In fact, one of my favorite dining like experiences in a while Not too often you get to have pizza and chicken farm and then the taramasu just topped it off It was absolutely phenomenal. Still one of my absolute favorite restaurants at Walt Disney World And I'm just so excited that I got to come here and eat today And now we need to kind of just start walking around and burning off some of these calories As we're coming out of vietnam, you can see the sun's going down a little bit It's so beautiful out though. The temperature is literally perfect. I think it's like 65 degrees No wind. I'm really liking it. It was raining earlier, but it's definitely still a little gloomy out I am so full though. That was a lot of food that I just put down there It was all amazing and now we get to walk around world showcase and just kind of let it settle and burn off If I didn't enjoy that amazing taramasu from inside vietnam, I'd get one of these Taramasu popsicles that's at the donkey cart right here. And isn't it so funny? It's a donkey cart I don't know. I already named him Dominic kind of like Dominic the donkey I don't know if that's his actual name though. I like Dominic the donkey I also figured I'd hop into one of the merchandise locations and show you guys some of the newer Epcot Italy like merchandise that they have. I wish they had a spirit jersey But no spirit jersey yet, but they do have some cool things You can see we have a lot of Mickey and Minnie like Italy Epcot World Showcase apparel And then even the Italy ears right here. These are very popular I see a lot of people wearing them and then we've got some aprons And even some kind of like t-shirts And nice little plushes. Oh, look at Mickey. It looks like Moriel They also have some good men's merchandise. I like this t-shirt and they sell actual like zipper Hoodie right here. This is really nice. Look in the back That's very fancy. Oh, and then some beer mugs Look at these fancy things Oh, yeah, lots of good stuff Lots of good stuff Look at that Wow I'm gonna head on out near spaceship earth or buy world showcase lagoon and kind of look at spaceship earth It's always beautiful from back here because they have like a very nice setup And I always like coming back here and it's a great spot for photos as well Even the bridge like to have a little bridge. I gotta show you right here Look at the bridge over the canal and look at the ducks swimming right through it That is really awesome. Isn't it? I don't think any other like location on world showcase or any of the actual pavilions have Kind of like a little like area like this that's close to the water Come right up the steps here and you get a much clearer view of all of everything I was talking about Look at that Amazing. I wish those boats actually were an attraction. I would ride them all day long They just had literally a boat that was going through and underneath the bridges. I would do it Yep, I would be there But boy, oh boy, could you ask for a better view? Look at us up here. Look at us That's spaceship earth. It's a little bit gloomy. So I don't know if you can see it. I think it's right There it is right there I always think of areas like this and how often do cast members go down and like clean it and kind of like just Touch the surface of it. Like I wonder if there's areas where it hasn't been touched for a long time I mean, there's not really any maintenance that you would need to do down here Maybe just sweep up garbage But I would like to stand down there. I would like to get a photo right there with that background And are those tomato plants? What kind of plants are those right there? I'm gonna zoom in to show you guys. What is that? Please let me know in the comments. If you know what kind of plant that is I think it's so interesting that it's actually right here Outside of the italy pavilion. If it is a tomato plant, I mean that is that is detail right there That is disney at its best. That's what I'm saying But with that, I think I am done here absolutely amazing I recommend the pizza the chicken parm the taro miso I recommend everything at the Annapoli I think it's like I said one of my favorite Walt Disney world restaurants And I want to thank you to Elizabeth because she actually bought my meal for me and that was so nice of her I ran into her family and it was a little unexpected. So I want to say thank you so much I really appreciate it and you have a lovely family and I hope you enjoyed the video I enjoyed making it. So we'll see you next time. Bye
