I have a reservation for Via Napoli, but I was considering Tutto Gusto. Which do you prefer? I will be going solo!
Wow thats just very rude and odd. So sorry you went through that. I have never seen a restaurant turn away a solo diner! As a solo diner myself, i'd be interested to know if this is in fact a new thing at tutto gusto. I'll have to test this out on my next trip. ....But for now hopefully someone who has dined there solo can chime in with their experience?I may have just caught them on a bad day but I was told on Friday afternoon that I could not get a table at Tutto Gusto because I was solo. “There are no tables for one.” This was said in full view/hearing of the general manager. There were visible open high top tables for two. I’ve been seated as a solo many times before (& was previously a really big fan) so I’m not sure what was going on and if it’s a policy change or a really bad day. It was pretty embarrassing so I’m not sure I will try again to find out.

We were just there last month and they no longer offer the Tutto Italia menu there, you need to order off the Tutto Gusto menu only.
Im glad you got a table! Frankly I was rather miffed that they would discriminate against solo diners like that. Are we not paying customers? i'd write to disney complaining about the issue to be honest...just so that it doesnt happen again. That's not right!So I just tried again... different host and GM and was seated with no problem. There are many open tables. Hopefully Friday afternoon was a fluke. They have changed the menu since I was here last. For example I used to like the meatball sliders, which are gone (regular meatballs remain). I took menu pics. If they came out ok with the dark lighting, will post.

The last time I heard such stupidity was when my wife and I went to a Philadelphia restaurant and the snotty podium woman asked me "How many?". I said two. She said that there were "no tables for 2 available." Yet, over her shoulder I could see half a dozen tables for 4 open. I said in a deadpan voice, "Oh, we actually need 6 chairs, because my wife and I like to switch seats at every course. But, if you don't have a table for 6, we can re-use the salad course seats for dessert, and make do with a 4 top." She looked at me like I was crazy. Her younger co-worker, standing next to her, burst out laughing. We got seated at a table for 4 a few moments later. For fun, we did switch seats throughout the meal.
We live in Philadelphia and I'd LOVE to know which restaurant this is! I'd also love to have your quick wit
