Beautiful building and rooftop views. Food was pricey and just ok. Worth going to take pictures and watch the fireworks.

This was our first WDW “signature dining” experience, and now we want to try more! The food was phenomenal, the views were amazing. The wait staff was incredibly kind, although service was a little slow, especially when we were ready to pay.
The ricotta appetizer is so good, and the chicken rigatoni was perfection. My son said the filet mignon was cooked perfectly to his liking.
The only thing I wasn’t so pleased with was the kids soup. It came piping hot. My toddler wasn’t able to eat it until well after the rest of the food had arrived.
Yes, it is pricey, but we weren’t surprised when the bill came. We knew what we were getting into. And yes, we tipped 😉 😉 (if you know, you know).
Pros:
Delicious, amazing viewsCons:

My family and I ate here in January 2021 and had the best meal we have ever eaten. We had the olives and ricotta as our appetizers, my husband and mother liked the olives and but the main loved item was the ricotta. Uh-mazing! Def recommend! My mother had the rigatoni for her entree and said it was delicious. My husband and I both had the filet mignon and we both agreed it was the best steak we have EVER eaten, and we eat a lot of steak! My son had the butter noddles and they were so good as well. We all ended up sharing the chocolate cake and pistachio mousse for dessert and we were all so stuffed by the end of it. Yes it was expensive but it was actually much less than we thought it would be, especially with all of the cocktails. This will definitely be a place we visit every trip!
Pros:
Great atmosphere, service, and food.Cons:
I was too full to eat anything else.Reviewed by mhw Review Date: 05/29/2021

Sadly, Topolino's does not measure up to other Signature Dining restaurants. While the outside terrace we relaxed in was absolutely lovely and would be an amazing spot from which to watch fireworks (when they return), the rest of the meal was just okay. The restaurant was quite cold and, when we inquired if the temperature could be adjusted, we were advised it could not. As a result, our food was cold before we could eat it. Further, while other Disney Signature restaurants such as California Grill, Narcoossee's have suggested dress attire to which most guest adhere, the attire at Topolino's was "park" attire, t-shirts, sneakers, etc. It simply was not the experience of other Signature restaurants.
Pros:
The outside terrace is absolutely lovely and a wonderful place to relax while waiting.Cons:
The food was only average, the temperature in the restaurant was way too cold and the overall atmosphere was not like other Signature Restaurants. I would recommend California Grill, Narcoossee's and Citricos instead.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 10/04/2021

Splurged on a birthday dinner for 2 adults in October of 2021.
The atmosphere is sophisticated and it was quiet so having a conversation was easy and nice. Our server was amazing and had great insight and suggestions for us based on our preferences.
We like to try a few different things so ordered 2 starters, the gnocchi and tomato salad, both were excellent. For diner my partner got the veal, and I got the filet. Both were good but also lacking in some way. The cut of veal was not very good and about 1/3 of the meat was inedible, which should never happen at that cost, the side was exceptionally good. My filet was superb and so was the sauce with it. I didn't care for the mashed potatoes, they were over buttered and it was the only flavor you could taste.
At the end of our meal Harmonious was set to start so we went outside on the terrace for viewing. There is a large dome from one of the towers that completely blocks the barges. If you haven't seen this show before do not try and watch from here you're missing out. We decided to leave and hop on the skyliner to Epcot where we got the most amazing view of the show and fireworks.
Pros:
Quiet, Great for an adult dinnerCons:
Harmonious Barges aren't visible from terrace viewing area, quality of ingredients should be better for the priceReviewed by FleurDeLys Review Date: 12/14/2021

We dined here in late October 2021 for an early-ish dinner at 6 PM. We dressed up for the occasion and arrived a few minutes prior to our reservation. Check-in was professional and formal in a very respectful way. We walked out onto the deck and then sat at a high top for a cocktail. When our table was ready, we were ushered to a windowside table. Our server was truly exceptional - a balance of formality, confidence, service and friendliness. All of our food was excellent, and I had the best filet mignon I have ever had on property. The deck is well appointed and has a nice view, but it's not situated well for Epcot fireworks viewing. The ambience was wonderfully stylish and subtle, fairly quiet, airy and open. The seervice we had was outstanding - our server, the manager, and the other server who magically appeared right about the time we were starting to think we might need something. The food was obviously prepared with care, and served with care. We will certainly be back for dinner! Topolino's is a wonderful choice for a romantic dinner.
Pros:
Food.Wine list. Staff. Atmosphere. Everything.Cons:

The food here was really good, our server was excellent, and the overall vibe of the restaurant was really nice. However, if you are planning to watch fireworks, be warned! There were so many people crowding the windows and the patio that it was definitely hard to see them. I would suggest going when its not prime fireworks viewing time and then maybe the restaurant would be less crowded. I was a little bummed because my daughter was afraid of the loud bangs from the fireworks and I thought this would be a nicer way for her to enjoy watching them, and that didn't really happen. Otherwise, we had a very nice meal. The restaurant is gorgeous and would be a great way to spend a date night!
Pros:
excellent food, beautiful restaurant, great serviceCons:

Dinner at Topolino's Terrace has become a requirement for Disney stays. Every time we've come, the service has been exceptional, the food is astounding, and the restaurant is beautiful. My wife and I have each tried something different on each of our visits and haven't had a dud yet. My favorite so far is the Rigatoni, and my wife loved the Sole Meuniére.

This is our new favorite place on property! This restaurant is BEAUTIFUL, the food was incredible, and the service was an added bonus as our server was very attentive and made a great wine recommendation for the bottle that we shared at dinner! And to top it all off, I got engaged on the terrace after dinner, so that gives Topolino’s a very special place in my heart! We plan to return on every trip in the future!!
