Tutto Italia
We woke up around 7AM. The plan for this day was to meet my mother at the Boardwalk around 8:40AM to head into EPCOT for the day. It was freezing so both my husband and I got lattes from the Boardwalk Bakery to warm us up on our the walk over. We headed straight to Soarin’ since we didn’t have a FP+ for that ride and then went to Living with the Land.
Afterwards, I made a super ugly vehicle that did well in the capability ratings for the day, followed by a ride around Spaceship Earth.
Having done the major rides of Future World, we headed into the World Showcase for our lunch reservation at Tutto Italia. It wasn’t long before we were sat in a booth and were able to review their menu. They had made a couple updates since what they had last posted on the online menu but the changes were definately for the better for my husband & I! While I forgot a photo of the wine, we ordered a bottle of Pinot Grigio since well, Wine Math makes it make sense.
We dove right into the bread. I love those breadsticks!

For a started, I got what I always do here - the freshly made mozzarella. The only difference this time, my mother was there to eat the slices of tomato I usually just leave on the plate. I love fresh mozzarella especially with fresh cracked pepper and the sea salt! Yum!

My mother ordered a side and an appetizer for her entree. I kinda decided for her since well, she was debating between that or ordering the exact same thing my husband and I were. Someone has to mix it up a bit! She enjoyed her baked zucchini. It was a right size portion for her and she felt like she was getting her vegetables for the day.
Tortino di Zucchini - Baked Zucchini, Pomodoro, Mozzarella, Parmesan
Her other item was a side of meatballs. My husband and I each stole one of them to try and agree that they were just ok. They felt like they needed more seasoning in them but for people that like more mild flavors, they probably would have been thrilled. I like my Publix meatballs better.

My husband and I went for the same pasta dish. This was perfect! The chicken was well seasoned and cooked. You can't go wrong with extra cheese on top either! The parmesan cream was exactly what we were wanting on top of the freshly made fettuccini! Both of us were members of the clean plate club after this!
