Is Topolino's Terrace the BEST Restaurant at Walt Disney World? Disney's Riviera Resort
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 июл 2024
- This video is part 3 of a series where we dine at our top 5 favorite Walt Disney World Restaurants. Our goal is to find what we think is the best restaurant in Walt Disney World. The criteria we're basing our assessments on include, service, cuisine quality, decor, theming, atmosphere and accessibility.
Disney's Riviera Resort was inspired by Walt Disney's visits to the Mediterranean. It's decor and atmosphere is supposedly designed to encapsulate guests within a myriad of differing European Mediterranean cultures and the menus at the restaurants here are specifically curated to focus on popular Mediterranean dishes with classic American fare.
While we've been quite critical of the Riviera's atmosphere in the past, we've consistently been impressed by their restaurant offerings. Primo Piatto was named our favorite Walt Disney World Resort Hotel Quick Service Restaurant and we've often considered, Bar Riva, to be an underrated lounge.
It's only fitting that, Topolino's Terrace, be considered one of our favorite restaurants at Walt Disney World. Located at the top of the Riviera Resort, Topolino's Terrace is designed to emulate an ancient Mediterranean Village with an upscale atmosphere. The pasta and bread is made fresh in-house and there's special attention paid to the quality of the ingredients used in the cuisine.
This video details our full experience. We try out Topolino's signature dishes, go over subtle details in the design of this restaurant and see how it compares to both Jiko and California Grill. Watch to see whether we think this truly is the best restaurant at the Walt Disney World Resort.

I love lemon! 🍋 Jays reaction when Sam says, I don’t like lesson 😆
I like it in savory dishes but for desserts I usually go for chocolate, but it was very good!!
Topolinos is the wdw restaurant that i haven't eating at that i know has freshly made fantastic food that bread service looks pretty and tasty. the view from Riviera roof is gorgeous
Topolino's is insanely good, we hope to try the breakfast one day but it's so hard to get a reservation.
Hey now.... I'm loving the revised intro where Sam says her name! Well done!
The menu at this restaurant looks particularly interesting to me! I'm not thrilled with the prices, but, for Disney, they aren't hideous.
Everything you two ordered looked delicious!
Thank you both for bringing us along! 💜
It's definitely pricy- but very high quality and this meal was a lot cheaper than California Grill with their prix fixe menu. I also got two meals out of my pasta :) Thanks so much for watching!
Topolinos is one of our favorites, always make a point to watch vlogs from that location. Love to watch your videos too, so spot on and informative. However, so many reviews show the same dishes over and over. I would love to see someone try the Classic Sole Meunière (a dish made famous by Julia Child). When we dined there last, my husband and the wife of our companions chose the steak and Bouillabaisse. But the other husband followed my lead and selected the sole, and he thanked me over and over for encouraging him to try the sole. He could not stop raving about it. Looking forward to Flying Fish, try the potato-wrapped red snapper there. So good that we travel from Ohio twice a year to get that dish. Happy Birthday Jake!
We will keep those options in mind. I am such a sucker for that pasta dish and I am a boring eater but Jay is more adventurous than I am. Jay loves the snapper at Flying Fish!! Can't wait to re-visit there soon :) Thanks so much for watching.
Hey guys that looks a place my wife and I would love. We love fine dinning and fine wine. Have to try next time we are down in Oct for Food and Wine Fest. Thanks !
You're going to love it!!!!!
the food looked amazing. the Riviera is showing you some really good qualities! amazing! enjoy! 💚🌟 plus coffee and leftovers for the next morning - extra! ✨
I can't stop thinking about the pasta!!! That dish is so incredible and I was so happy to have it for lunch the next day. Thanks so much for watching Kelly!
What a beautiful resort! I’m glad you got some of your favorite coffee Sam! Looks delicious! What a beautiful menu! My Italian soul is happy! 😂I love your nails Sam! ❤❤❤ what high marks! We will for sure go here when we are in Orlando next!
The resort is beautiful. I am obsessed with that coffee, it's soooo good. Thank you so much for watching, we hope you love it as much as we do!
This is so timely as Topolino’s, Jiko, Narcoossee’s & Flying Fish are my faves and I’m deciding where to go for my birthday. You’re making them all sound good, though, so I guess it’s a 3 or 4 day celebration. 😂. For me it’s the whole package of resort, pre-post dinner strolls, food (more savory than sweet) and service. Not a prix fixe fan so that knocks CG out for me. If Narcoossee’s parking still a hassle across the street, that may knock it out too. Love your reviews!!!!
You have great taste 😋. For me, it's a toss up between Narcoossee's, Topolino's and Flying Fish. I'd probably pick Narcoossee's since I'm a sucker for the castle view but we still need to finish the series! Definitely agree that all those things help capture the magic of the experience at signature dining. Prix Fixe Cali Grill has gotten me down. Before the Prix Fixe they were 100% my number 1 but they've gone down hill. I've noticed that the accross the street parking tends to happen during busier times or when they have weddings so it can be hit or miss there. We have Flying Fish next this week! Hope you have the absolute best birthday dinner. Thank you 🙂.
I always love the reviews you guys do. We are trying to eat at all the top 5 places and still have 2 more to go to complete it. We tried Topolinos last July for our daughter’s birthday and absolutely loved it. The filet was spectacular, and the salad blew me away. Who would’ve thought a salad could do that? My daughter got the rigatoni and loved it! We will definitely go back. Narcoosee’s and Flying Fish are next on our list!
Thanks so much Shannon ❤️ I love the filet too!! We’ll be at Flying Fish tomorrow 😊 We’ve had two spectacular meals there previously and I’m hoping for a third 🤞 Hopefully we’ll get to Narcoossees next week. An expensive month but we really enjoy making the videos and of course it doesn’t hurt that the food is so good!
Happy Sunday TPF's! Thanks for another great video. Your cinematography is really well done. Top notch 👌
The food here looks beautiful. That's nice to see. The burrata goes on my list!
As someone that only gets the opportunity to visit Disney a few times per year, the most important factors for me are nostalgia and the memories a place creates. Food, ambiance and service are all very important, but the magic is what brings me back or gets me excited to try a place. And just a quick note (from someone that is horrible at pronunciation), the seafood stew, bull-yeah-base.
Thanks again, you guys are the best! ❤
Hello and happy Sunday 🙂. Definitely agree about nostalgia and memories being important! I appreciate the insight in regards to the proper pronunciation of the dish. I know I say things wrong regularly but I'm always open to learning. Thank you for all your support. YOU are the best!
Jay, you can say bouillabaisse like “BOO-ya bays.” Maybe you can remember cause you’re like saying “booyah!” About all the yummy seafood that comes from the ~bays~ 😂
Enjoyable review as always guys!
hahaha that’s a great way to remember! Thank you Kate 😊
Hi Sam and Jay!
Thank you for taking us to one of our favorite WDW Resorts 😍
Dinner looked amazing! 🤩
We just want the desserts 😋
Hello! Happy we can bring you along 🙂. The dinner and desserts were amazing! I wish I could have that chocolate cake everyday 😆.
Love riviera resort what an amazing resort so beautiful ❤very luxurious amazing food 🍱 and drinks 🍹 enjoy ur day at Disney stay cool it’s hot 🥵
It’s been soooo hot, even for Florida. I’m grateful to do indoor dining reviews, the park vlogs have been hard. Thanks so much for watching.
Thank you guys for another amazing review! I'm soooooo excited for you guys to go to Narcoosies! Surf n turf!
We went to Narcoosees when they reopened and we loved it!! Can't wait to revisit. Thank you so much for watching!
I am going next trip this is my kind of food!
Us too! We're excited for you 🙂. Hope you have the best time!
Loved it! Great job Sam and Jay!
Thanks Jena!!!
I am so glad you are eating at all these fun places lol. Sam... two coffee's!!! You are the queen of the almond cold brew w/ honey almond whipped cream. We were able to eat @ Topolino's in April and it was so lovely. I think atmosphere, location and food quality all play a part, especially in Disney, as to what is the best restaurant. Have you had the gnocchi w/ lamb? It is very very good. Ok.. how will you pick a number one!!? Thank you for the review.... sorry for the super late comment!
No sorry necessary! We appreciate comments at all hours 🙂. We're also glad and feel really lucky to be able to eat at all these fancy restaurants. Definitely agree that all those factors play a part in making a memorable dining experience. The gnocchi was my next pick if I didn't get what I did. Can't beat an in-house made gnocchi. I'm actually getting hungry typing right now 😆. We're going to name our top 5 in our Narcoossee's video. We're honestly stumped at our current top 5. Thank you!
I love your restaurant reviews. So eclectic. You introduced me to my now favorite latte at Summer House. I never knew that they had a coffee shop. Don’t worry about your mispronunciations. They make me chuckle. They’re simply a faux pas. One small piece of advice. Could you please take smaller bites of your food? Sam: I love your hats.
Thank you! We put a lot of work into these videos and knowing you enjoy really means a lot 🙂. Even if I say something wrong, I'm open to learning the correct pronunciation. I can't even say my own last name right 😆. Sam's hats are 🔥. I must admit, when editing I've often realized I(Jay) take some large bites. I just love food and it's hard to portion control when the camera is on. I have been and will continue to try to be more cognizant of it though!
We will be double cold brewing as well our upcoming visit in July at Rivieria resort. Dangerous though sometimes my "for morning coffee" doesn't make it home intact. Great review, I think their quick service will be our stop next month. You guys are great post work or weekend 😊 ❤
My people 😍☕️ Hope you enjoy Primo Piatto, the flatbreads are good too! Thank you for saying that, sometimes we are really self conscious about filming tired.
Sam's so cute ❤ nice review. I also like gooey and growing up in an Italian household my father always called mucjey mouse topolino. My favorite restaurant would have to be a mix of everything mostly theme and food ❤
Thank you :) That is so cute! My Dad used to call me Mush Mouse- I have no idea why though lol
@@ThemeParkFoodies lol cute ❤️
For the scallops you're also paying for the truffle "jam". Not sure what kind they're using the dish, but depending on what kind it is and how much you use, it can be quite expensive and there is a serving for each scallop. That's the reason for the $18 as well.
It was actually $24! I will say, the truffle jam was incredible. I just felt, for the price, I can find higher quality scallops on property. For a special dinner, I think it was worth it.
@@ThemeParkFoodies Wow that is a hefty price after all, especially for three, but yeah, I just wanted to point out that it was possible that was another reason. Anything that says "truffle" I noticed usually is more expensive.
Oh and I think it's after work filming cause of the time and Sam's tired ❤
hahha those weekday filmings are tough for me, but I'm thankful for such great coffee!!!
@@ThemeParkFoodies I love coffee but decafe for me ❤️
I think this is my favorite restaurant while Christina‘s is narcoossee's, so we are excited to see where you guys rank them. Against each other. When we went, they had a tempura fried vegetables with onion dust on them. Not onion powder what they called onion dust, and we still talk about how good that was.
We've only been to Narcoossee's once so we're interested on how consistent they are. Last time they were incredible and Topolino's was Sam's favorite up until recently. Those vegetables sound 🔥. You know a restaurant is great when you keep talking about the memory you have of eating there.
@@ThemeParkFoodies I think the only restaurant we’ve ever eaten twice at was le cellier and ohana both are in my top
They're out of their gourd charging $8 for each one of those scallops, that is not worth $24. Breakfast here used to be excellent and worth it until they pulled that stipulation away from getting extra sides with your entree. Jay is a man who loves GOO.
Price was outrageous. We can never score the breakfast reservation! Stinks they changed it though. Jay is a goo guy!
The design element is clearly Pompeii mid-eruption 🤣
😂😂😂😂
The olive oil they serve at Topolinos is amazing… at least it used to be
Sam started looking up the Olive Oil to see if we could buy it right after we had the bread service 😆. We can confirm it's still amazing 🙂.
Be happy you didn't order the sea scallops entree. If you thought $18 was high for 3 scallops, getting 3 scallops for $54 is mind blowing in a bad way. We ate there about a month ago and that is what I got. The rest of the food was great but I felt taken after getting my entree.
Oh my!!!! That’s nuts.
How is the food and decor?😊😊😊
Outstanding!
@@ThemeParkFoodies amazing 👏
