Via Napoli to open August 5th

The new Pizzeria in the Italian Pavilion at Epcot is going to open August 5th, 2010

Here's the complete news from the official Disney Parks Blog:

The new restaurant at the Italy Pavilion at Epcot, Via Napoli, will begin taking reservations Aug. 6 for Sept. 10, the official opening day. A “Grand Opening” celebration will be Aug. 5, but the restaurant will be in a “soft opening” walk-in phase with no reservations between then and Sept. 10. 

More informations about the restaurant:

• The restaurant is table service only, no quick service.
• Disney Dining Plan is accepted (one point per person per meal).
• The hottest menu item is the wood-fired pizza, and it comes in three sizes: individual; large with eight slices; and a “mezzo metro,” or half meter, that is 12 slices.
• There is one menu for both lunch and dinner. Average check is around $23. 
• There are several vegetarian options, including the pizza Margherita, fusilli pasta in a Southern Italian-style pesto, salads, minnestrone and more.

I was really sad when i read "The restaurant is table service only, no quick service"...

I thought it would be good to have the opportunity of having a quick service restaurant in the Italian Pavilion (always maintaining the food fresh)...

Anyway, here you are some recent pictures, (thanks again to Austin!!):
