I hope I can help.. When we were at WDW in Sept we ate at Tutto Italia and loved it. It is a must on each of our trips. You will find that the meals are true Italian and not Americanized. We ate at AK rainforest and just had a light lunch of appetizer for 2 and it was very good.
I don't remember the last time we ate a coral reef but it has been a long while. We use to eat there every trip but the food quality seemed to go down hill.
Hope this helps...:mickey:

I love the coral reef-fantastic lobster brisque.

Has anyone eaten there recently and what did you order? I am looking for suggestions because it seems to get mixed reviews. Also wondering about Tutto Italia and Rainforest Café-AK. I also see a new shrimp and scallop dish at Be Our Guest and am wondering if anyone has tried that? Suggestions appreciated.
We were just there in Dec. We didn't do CR this time but have always enjoyed a lunch or dinner there, especially the Chocolate Wave dessert. Tutto is a new must do for lunch for us. When we are at AK we always have an early lunch at the RC and have always found it enjoyable. BOG dinner is also a favorite and I always get the French onion soup and the shrimp and scallops dish. I have enjoyed it each time no matter how they have changed it.
I have been told the bisque was good, I may have to splurge and get it

I agree. Dining is a huge part of the trip. These restaurants have atmosphere you won't find anywhere else. It's not only a good meal, it's a fun , unique dining experience. We are eating at Via Napoli for the first time. We usually plan half the trip with favorite spots and half with something new. We have always liked Coral Reef as well. I had a lobster pasta last time and it was really good.
Have a nice trip.

I'll be dining at Coral Reef in April with my husband; glad I saw this thread! I haven't eaten there since I was 13, I'm 37 now, so it's been a long time, haha. I've avoided this restaurant for so long because they didn't used to have vegetarian options, but now they do so I'm all good. 
Right now my husband is interested in just about everything on the menu, so he's got a tough decision to make, haha. I admit that I've got my eye on the desserts. ;) It will be fun experiencing this restaurant as an adult.
