It's never available when I look for dinner reservations.

Is it that good or just the shiny new thing?

It’s yummy good!

Just go and sit at the bar. Same menu, no reservation. Get there early.

Cheers.

Loved it our first time there - second time, not so much. So we might try it again, but it is not a "must do"

Still considered in the "new" restaurant category maybe?

We enjoyed our meal and thought it was very good. Loved the company more

I'm sure it's a little of both. We think it's excellent - right up there with Citricos and California Grill. But it's been harder to get tables than either of those two, so I suspect that it's also the new thing.

And when we were there a few weeks ago, the tables seemed maybe spaced out more widely, so maybe they're still operating at reduced capacity?

We've eaten at Topolino's 4 times and it has become a "must-do" for us! The food is incredible and the service is wonderful!

I don't recall ever having trouble getting a reservation though. We've been there at various times of the year - July, September and December - and booked them without a hitch. Some of those were just DH and myself and one was a party of 7.

Try booking on your phone's MDE app. It's structured a bit differently than the computer MDE and sometimes I'm able to make a reservation for a restaurant more easily on the app.

I hope you get the opportunity to dine there so you have a chance to form your own opinion. Personally, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Ask for a table with Chris as your server. He's knowledgeable and very attentive without being overbearing or pushy and he's quite delightful!

Let us know if you get the reservation and enjoy your dinner!

We got a 5:05 dinner reservation, using the TP reservation finder. It's just a bit early for us, but early is better than late.

That's wonderful! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

The bread with their unique olive oil is TDF!!!! I'd also recommend the escargot (one of my absolute favorites!), scallops and filet. Dessert is worth the calories too!

Can't wait to hear your review!
