Review of Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria

We had eaten here on 2 prior trips and really enjoyed-became a must do for us.
Ate here in Aug 2017 and was very disappointed. We were seated very quickly with our ADR. Ordered 1 pizza and 2 Italian entrees. Appetizers arrived quickly, with entrees following soon after. We waited another 30 minutes for the pizza to be delivered. When we finally flagged down our sever, she seemed annoyed and told us entrees and pizza always come at different times. This never happened in the past and we would have changed our order had we known it would be 30 minutes in between, since clearly one person doesn't want to wait 30 minutes after everyone else has eaten to get their order.
When she brought our check, she had doubled up half the items in our order so our bill was about 50% too high. Took another 20 minutes to flag her down to get a correct bill.
While the food was still great, the service and overall experience have definitely gone downhill in the past couple years, no longer making this a must do.
Pros:
Good foodCons:
slow service, pizza and entrees come at significantly different timesReview of Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria

My boyfriend and I ate here for dinner one evening on our recent stay in September 2017. This restaurant is Disney magic at it's best!!!! We had an 8pm dinner reservation and arrived a little early and were seated relatively quickly. Our drinks were NEVER empty. There were two drink girls - Sara and Alice - who came to our table endlessly to refill our water and drinks. I ordered pizza and my boyfriend ordered an entree. We had a very nice young waiter named Nicoli. He explained that the food came from two different kitchens so my pizza would take longer. Since we were told about this, there was no issue. My boyfriend was finished with his meal by the time I got my pizza, but that didn't bother us. The pizza is the BEST pizza I've ever had in my entire life. I'm told the dough and water comes directly from Italy. It wasn't overly hot that I burnt my mouth at the first bite. Nor was it greasy nor was the dough hard. It was perfect!!!! The manager came out also and spoke with us because of my nut allergy, which was appreciated. The dessert was very good also. On my next trip this a MUST to eat here again!!!!

I think I would skip this restaurant on my next visit. My boyfriend and I ate here in September 2017. It was pouring rain and the check-in line extends to outside and moved slowly, so we only got even wetter having to check-in. You're seated with others, which isn't horrible, but the way the tables are set up it's hard to see the entertainment, which hardly lasts and then they leave off of the stage already. I felt like my boyfriend was in line 45 minutes just to get his food. The buffet lines were huge and one side of the buffet didn't have everything the other side of the buffet had. I thought the food was so-so and definitely not work the $85. I'd rather eat somewhere else like Via Napoli which was fabulous.
Pros:
Entertainment -- but too short!!!!Cons:
Both sides of buffet didn't have the same food / crowded / seated with othersReview of Captain's Grille Lunch/Dinner

Disney magic at it's best! My boyfriend and I ate here in September 2017. Fantastic meal and service. Our waitress was from France. The meal was temporarily held at Ariel's, a wedding venue at the Beach Club because the Captain's Grille is currently being remolded with a new name. We will definitely have to try out the new restaurant on our next stay. We were on the dining plan and this is the only restaurant that allowed us to get a specialty non-alcoholic mixed drink from the bar. Service and food were fantastic.
Pros:
Disney magic at it's best, outstanding service and foodCons:

The only negative for here is that there isn't enough seating and it's all outdoors (but covered). Great food for a casual restaurant and well worth it to eat at with being on the dining plan. Plenty of food. Great BBQ chicken and pork. The cast member who took my order was very attentive to my nut allergy.
Pros:
Great food!!! / Great quick-service choice on dining plan / Good cast membersCons:

My boyfriend and I ate here in September 2017. I love the atmosphere and decor as I'm a huge fan of the 1950s era. We got a table with a TV which was nice. Great service. The food was so-so but the milkshakes -- my boyfriend got a PB&J one and I got a vanilla one -- were DELICIOUS and the desserts were very good too. Milkshakes are included as a drink choice on the dining plan which is nice. Only minor complaint -- our waiter handed me the bill and then I didn't get a chance to finish my dessert because he came back again and seemed upset I didn't add a tip yet. So I then put money down on the table as tip as we were on the dining plan.
Pros:
Great atmosphere / Great milkshakes and dessertCons:

stayed 3 nites: sept 14,15,16 2017
Seemed very pricey for offerings. Was a last minute switch from beach due to hurricane.
Not big fans of concierge vacations, but was available with annual pass discount. Was not met at entrance. Had trouble gaining access to area due to unescorted. Did not feel special. Check in was long and slow. Only 1 person at desk. Several people waiting after we started, and rude man on cell phone I could not even hear the concierge.
As far as food goes: never saw anything I would eat other than had our fill of coke and ginger ale.
Just don't use these services so not worth the price for us.
I do all my own planning so no did not use then for any reservations.

We stayed 7 nites in Sept 2017. 1 br villa. For location, washer / dryer & spa tub.
Valet service is slow and not helpful at door. Except for trying to explain how to tip them. Had a problem at check in. We went to park cause online room not listed. Check in at 5 pm and told oh, they just didn't notify you / or change status. Requested a lesser view room and we where put NO where near that location. They kept working at desk on our request > offering to move tomorrow... but then suddenly the room next to the one requested was open? and given to us.
Spa tub to rescue or not> nope Jets would not turn off no matter what we did. Could not drain tub cause water shooting all over .... Called for maintainious and desk said "did you hit the button"? Huh. 3 hrs later aka: 11pm at nite maintanious fixes it after 2 hrs of work and looking for parts. I know I asked for this room...
Next day washer starts up or not? It would be fine and then just stop for no reason. Sis got it to start again and again and again..... But we didn't call for help just reported to check after we left. Didn't want another 3 hrs of work, or change in room again.
After was smooth sailing and a great time. No other issues. Checking out we did our own luggage and self park so no issues.

We stayed finally 6 nites at Cr tower mkv. sept 2017 ending our 2.5 week stay at wdw.
We are long time fans and frequent visitors of CR. Love CR and definately our favorite resort and location. Room was clean and fresh. Quick pleasant valet, and check in experience. Room ready very early. Got our requested location area. Only tower down fall is it was very hot during our stay and when leaving your room due to size and opening of building tower was warm on high floor. Aside from that was truely magical. Very pleasant Cm's. and great room service.
