    I enjoyed your review. The Riviera is a beautiful resort. My last visit to DW was January 2023 with my son and his partner. First visit since my wife passed 2 years ago. We ate at Topolino's for the first time. Agree with everything you said about it. We got a table by the window and were able to watch the fire works while eating. We had the Ricotta and Brussel Sprouts for appetizers, the Rigatoni and Bouillabaisse and Lamb Shank main courses, and shared Creme Brulee and Chocolate Cake for desert. Everything was excellent, service was amazing, and it was a magical experience.

    I sat in literally the exact same chair as you at the exact same table when I went to Topolino's two years ago! I loved being able to see into the kitchen, and our server was so kind to have our mains come out right after the fireworks ended since we had a late reservation. This definitely makes me want to go back when I am down in FL in May!

    We really enjoy both meals at Topolino’s but the dinner is especially delicious. My favourites are the ricotta with tomato jam, filet mignon, and crème brûlée! I will be thinking about that combo until the next time we return.

    I do love Topolinos so much! I have been blessed to stay at Riveria resort 2 times💘 I have a DVC friend that rents me points very reasonable. So we did eat at Topolino both times and I really love the Rigatoni dish! It is just so flavorful....I swear I dream about it😘 They have several lovely cocktails as well. Seeing your review makes me want to go back! The resort I think has become my favorite, just love having the Skyliner. Watching the Fireworks from that outdoor area on the roof top is the best. So beautiful and relaxing... Loved the review.

    Omg I was on the search for a recent review that had the Burrata and you ended up surprising me even more when you got the Sole too. These are the two items I've been interested the most with the menu change and good to know that they're both delicious. I LOVE beets so I know I'm going to enjoy that salad 😅🤣. Thank You!

    Hi Deni, we stayed at Riviera for a week last year and ate at Topolino's twice: (1) character breakfast; and (2) for dinner. Both experiences were wonderful. I'm not really a "character" person but I'll admit the character breakfast was fun and delightful (met Minnie and Mickey). The food both times was very good! And yes we did step out on the balcony to enjoy the view! 🙂

    I commented on your instagram about eating the breakfast recently at Toppolino's. I'd enjoy your take on The Boathouse if you haven't already dined there. My wife and I enjoyed our dinner although my filet mignon was over done. I challenge you to get the Key Lime Pie dessert and finish it! They changed it and it is huge.

    OMG, that looks WONDERFUL!!!!!! And that's just the view, even before getting to the food.
    But mocktails? I can't imagine having an Italian meal without a small glass of wine. (I used to be strictly red, but then my wife opened my mind to Rieslings and Pinot Grigios ... depends on the meal.) Though the drink you were having does look pretty darned nice.
    I could live for that Epi bread. Did they mix the olive oil and the balsamic vinegar, or were they in separate dishes?
    *Sigh* I need to win the lottery ... Picking a Signature Dining experience at Disney is challenging, to say the least. We have experienced Jiko and Le Cellier, and I would go to either of them (or both) again in a heartbeat. The others I don't know, firsthand, which is why I appreciate these videos. (I am very keen to go to the Space Station restaurant.)

    I had a wonderful experience at Topolino’s. I too, had the prior Sole dish, I was not a huge fan of that iteration but the current version looks fabulous ❤🎉 I did, however, truly enjoy the escargot 😍 It’s a beautiful restaurant with a wonderful view. We did not have reservations for this visit, so we went right at opening and we sat in the bar area, it worked out perfectly!💖

    The fish looks delicious but I’ll get something else as I cook salmon pretty often. I did put butter on it and I loved it. It looked like the servings were a good size. The burratta dish did not look good to me. Always enjoy your reviews.

    I love the Riviera but I feel the menu for dinner at Topolino's has declined too much over the last two years. I actually had planned dinner twice in a week in February. But after one meal I canceled the second. I feel every thing I tried was maybe $10 more than it should have been. Now for me it is a once per trip at best selection for dinner. I will still do breakfast every time.

      @@deni_sunderly Gnocchi, Romaine Insalata, & Ricotta for starters. Classic Sole Meunière, Rigatoni, and Filet Mignon for mains. Vanilla and Citrus Crème Brûlée, and Lemon Tiramisu for desert.
      The Gnocchi is amazing. Romaine is elevated but small. The Ricotta was velvety smooth. Classic Sole was well done but not table side anymore (per our friends who had it a few months ago) but was really taste and perfectly cooked. The Rigatoni was rich and full of flavor. However the Filet Mignon was over done and not seasoned enough. All in all this was an amazing dinner. We got to see the fireworks from our table as well for that extra plus. We really want to go back to the bar and hang out and get some apps and cocktails.

    Hi Deni, loved this review!! Do you think they’d make the Rigatoni with just chicken and cheese? If I went for the Filet Mignon would they cook it very well done for me? Just trying to see if I would enjoy the meal being a non adventurous eater haha 😊

  • @michaelcertain415
    @michaelcertain415 4 месяца назад +1

    Great video as always! $52 for sole? $40 for rigatoni? Three day sauce or not, that’s an awful lot for pasta. We will be passing on Topolino’s for dinner. There are too many other great options at a much lower price point.

    A lot of vloggers loving this restaurant so interested in the food, but we have walked through it and the ambiance is poor. No white table cloths, just a big open room, like a cafeteria. Reminds me of the children’s book, The Emperor’s Clothes….

  • @flowertiki4100

    The sole looked very disappointing, underwhelming and fairly standard.. Anyone can cook fish with butter. Can’t mess that up. The original sole was a creation. Sad.
