We went for breakfast after my Springtime Surprise 10K. My mom got the Eggs Benedict Florentine (really good!) and I got the Steak and Eggs which was perfect after a long run. The meat was super tender (looked and tasted very similar to filet mignon). The basket of pastries and 3 accoutrements was very good - we almost got too full on them Don’t forget the POG juice! Our waiter was amazing and the character interactions were fun and engaging. And the view is gorgeous - go out on the terrace!

Delightfully prepared food! I have celiac disease. They do provide gluten friendly bread service and they have a specific gluten friendly menu. I had the beef tenderloin which was cooked perfectly medium rare with a warm red center. One of the dinner party ordered the bouillabaisse. She said it was delicious and it definitely smelled mouthwatering. My husband ordered the scallops and he said they were phenomenal. Another member of the dinner party ordered they oysters and she said they were not like anything she expected but were absolutely delicious! GF dessert was amazing and beautiful! Lemon blueberry cheesecake. Did not look as expected and it exceeded taste expectations. Absolutely delicious!!

We were able to grab a dinner reservation during our stay at the Riviera. This place was amazing. Decent selection of food. Their dink list was extensive. Service was top notch, which was expected with the pricing. Our reservation was at 6pm so we were hoping for some awesome views with dinner but they had the window shades down until just after

We love coming here. Tonight we had Adriana. She was excellent. Had some snafus with my food but every one else's food was fine.. the ricotta was delicious as always. They have beef cheek on the menu for now and a lamb gnocchi... the duck was way better. Both seasonal desserts were delicious.

My wife has been talking about this place for years. We finally made a reservation while we were in town and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was awesome. The outdoor terrace has spectacular views and great seating while you enjoy drinks before your meal. We were fortunate to get a table near the window. The view was amazing, especially while we were watching the Epcot fireworks show from our table. The staff was very friendly and professional. The food was a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for. The food quality, presentation, and service was on par with several Michelin restaurants we have visited. I highly recommend this place for a date night if you have a chance.

Nice restaurant. We went for breakfast. Food was not as good as expected but decent enough. It's a character dining location that would justify the pricing. It was on the list of restaurants to try, but there was nothing that would bring me back. Not for breakfast, at least. Maybe I'll try dinner next.

Our evening at Topolino’s Terrace began with a complimentary pain d’épi bread service — crunchy, yet slightly dry, with standard olive oil. As a starter, the Ratatouille Fritters were crisp and well-balanced by a fresh fennel salad. For our main, we opted for the Savoy Cabbage Farcis. While the dish was visually appealing and ingredients were individually flavourful, we found that they clashed rather than complemented one another. The spicy merguez dominated, and the chickpeas lacked freshness. At $38, it felt overpriced, though the ambiance — including a stunning fireworks view — softened the blow. Dessert, the Fruits of the Forest, was light and fresh, with standout mousse and cake, though the sorbet was too firm and hard to scoop. Service was courteous but a touch rushed, with our server prompting us for dessert while we were just beginning our main. That said, staff went above and beyond to seat us with a fireworks view, which we truly appreciated. Overall, a chic, memorable dining experience with creative plant-based options that could benefit from more harmonious flavor profiles. We look forward to returning. Merci !

This is one of the best restaurants on WDW property. Went here for both the character breakfast and dinner - and got seated at the same table both times - HA! The views from Topolino's Terrace are simple stunning and unlike some Disney restaurants the table are spread apart with ample room. With flavors pulling from the French and Italian Riviera, I give the slight edge to the food at breakfast, believe it or not. My steak and eggs were incredible! Not a dish a would normally order, but when you're walking 19,000/steps a day, and often skipping lunch, I wanted something that was filling. My poached eggs were perfectly cooked, potatoes perfectly seasoned, and the steak cooked just to the right temperature. Dinner was almost just as delicious. If I had two very minor nits, I'd say my rigatoni was slightly over cooked (but the the chicken sugo was fantastic) and I found the olive oil that comes with the bread to be a bit too full-bodied and overpowering. The actual bread, however, was phenomenal. Airy, pillowy, goodness. Service was attentive and friendly - as is Disney standard. Will definitely return.

This is a splurge meal, special occasion or similar type establishment. As a Disney Signature dining restaurant, it's very expensive. Food TLDR; pork belly appetizer delicious, creative, lower value. Good if you just want a small bite to warm up. Classic sole, exceptionally prepared with matched flavor. Not a substantial side but the best white fish entrée I've ever had. Creme brule is good, creative flavors and the creme brule stands up on its own without the accompanying support ingredients. Chocolate cake looked better, though. From start to finish, everything I tried was absolutely delicious. Our server, Damian, was excellent and he made sure we were absolutely happy with everything we got otherwise he did whatever he could to remedy it. One major plus is he was very open and honest with reccs. It really helps expectation setting. Food: We started with the Pork belly Fazzoletto. It was a delicious piece of pork belly topped with a extra-large sticky note size square of fresh pasta. Cooked perfectly al dente and then there was a marsala glaze and spring pea puree. I initially thought the pork belly was a little underdone as it didn't cut very easy, but the fat was still rendered sufficiently, and having it cooked to this level actually help with eating it and scooping up all the sauce. Very nice preparation. At $19, it's overpriced for what you get, but with the flavor, texture and richness, most would probably find this sufficient. My wife and I shared this and both loved it. A little before appetizers came out, out table also got complimentary bread service with some olive oil. The bread was decent, I've had far better, but the same can't be said for the olive oil- it was delicious. Extremely fresh and slight peppery flavor. I typically pass on the table bread but this was great (and free which very few places do anymore). Time for entrées. Our server was very clear that he had a special place in his heart for the classic sole dish. I was originally going to get the braised beef cheeks but I was shaded towards the sole- a very, very different dish. I generally stay clear of mild white fish because it's inherently boring. I really did love the classic sole. The butter and white wine sauce tasted as if it was browned butter, had a touch of acidity from the lemon juice and saltiness from the capers, every bite was truly delicious. The fish was cooked perfectly, moist and developed a consistent tasty crust that would typically compromise a lean white fish's delicate texture and moisture, not here. I have to admit, I was still thinking of how the beef cheeks would have been. I was plenty satisfied from this entrée and appetizer. Along with the bread, I was no longer hungry, I felt very good and didn't feel as if I over ate. There was just a level of satisfaction missing from the sole dish for me. It was likely the best white fish entrée I've ever received at any restaurant though. You won't be disappointed if you get it and are in the mood for fish. I wasn't in the mood for it and still absolutely loved every bite. My inly complaint here is I wish there was a more substantial carb. The side could have had a wonderful polenta or roasted potato. Instead you got a few peeled jewel sized potatoes that were delicious and some small starburst squash. Very tasty, but kind of weak in comparison to the whole piece of sole. Which I forgot to mention, zero worry of bones. The chef took care to remove every last one. Save some bread to sop up the sauce, you can't do it with the squash or potato. Overall, coming at $55, I don't know if this sole is worth it- but that's coming from me who has a preference to a more hearty fish/seafood like salmon, trout, tuna, etc. In all honesty, this was a $40 plate at best. Last but not least, the creme brule dessert. It was a vanilla creme brule and it had some small meringue pieces, some tangy cherry-red wine foam dollops, and a Graham cracker crumb type crumble. The brule was situation on too of a white chocolate disc. Overall, this dessert was very good. The chocolate cake looked better in my opinion, after seeing someone else in our party dig into that. The creme brule was a little difficult to eat, as you went to pick it up with the spoon it would slide all over the plate because of the white chocolate base. All the components were delicious though and it was very creative in the way it brought different flavors forward. That's all our food- again, very expensive but you're treated so well and the restaurant is so pleasant. It's got a nice, relaxing feel but it's certainly upscale and worthy of bearing a signature dining designation at Disney. Yet another restaurant here that brings forth unmatched service, food, flavors and textures, but at a price. Not a value dining option. Money is no object here. Come in expecting to spend about $100 per adult and you'll have your expectations met or exceeded.

Food: excellent. Prefer California Grill slightly more than Topolino, but it's very close and some in my party favored Topolino. All in our party had the salad, romaine insalata. Most beautiful salad presentation I've ever seen and it was delicious. Highly recommend. Two in our party had the classic sole meunière and felt it compared to excellent Dover sole. Definitely would order that again. I had the Branzino which I preferred because I did not want a dish with a lot of butter. It was excellent. And the 4th in our party had the bouillabaisse and said that was excellent as well. Did not have dessert. Extensive wine list. Unusual bread that is shaped like frond of wheat that is served at the beginning of the meal with a rare olive oil that was outstanding if you're an olive oil connoisseur. Butter is also provided. Service: outstanding table service from Vicky Ambience; nice atmosphere. Loud like every Disney restaurant. You can go out on the deck after dinner and overlook the different resorts that are close by.

***Diabetic Review*** I have Type 2 Diabetes...this is my quick review... We came for drinks - but heard there was a NO SUGAR ADDED dessert! I was so excited I ordered my Modern Fashioned and the NO SUGAR ADDED dessert. It was like an ice cream and streusel crumb dessert deconstructed! I was pleasantly surprised as it was tasty and did NOT spike my blood sugar!!! I've always enjoyed the drinks here and the atmosphere along with ambiance is amazing, especially if you are seated near the window. Michael was our waiter and he was TRULY EXCELLENT in every way! Go for drinks - stay for dessert - you won't be disappointed!!!

We dined at Topolino's Terrace the other night for the first time. First, I loved the views from the top floor of the Riviera Resort. They have an outdoor lounge area that you can get to by walking through the restaurant. It's so beautiful at night. And if you time it right, you could watch the fireworks from EPCOT or Hollywood Studios (and maybe even Magic Kingdom off in the distance). There's also a bar area indoors where our server informed us is first-come, first-served and it's usually not busy, so you can order from the same menu as the dining tables. Once you get deeper into the restaurant, it's nicely decorated, but the entryway to the dining room leaves something to be desired. It's just a big open space of white tiled floor. For a high-end restaurant, it should have a bit more ambiance to welcome you before you drop a few hundred dollars for a meal. And the bar area is pretty lackluster, too. Honestly, the entire front area past the host stand needs a makeover. For starters, we ordered the Escargot en Gougères. It was escargot wrapped in a flaky pastry with a lot of butter and garlic. Delish! We also received a giant basket of small, complimentary loaves of bread that were beautifully shaped with very olive-y olive oil for dipping. For my entrée, I ordered the Branzino, a fish dish that was excellent and flavorful (and not fishy). We added the Brussels Sprouts as an enhancement. They were amazing. Sweet with just a little bit of a spicy kick. Everything was fantastic -- from the food to the service. They just need to do something about the ambiance at the entrance. First impressions are important, and I just expected something on a more grand scale as you enter. But the tables and lighting are beautiful once you get past the tiled flooring.

This place lives up to the hype. I only wish we weren't dead tired when we came. We made a reservation, which I'm sure everyone knows is a must. We were sat quickly and the service was top tier. I enjoyed a glass of champagne and the bread they bring. Scallops are my favorite so I had to get theirs and they were melt in your mouth delicious. And the portion was very reasonable. Our reservation was also later in the day so we were able to see the fireworks from Magic Kingdom. I would come here every week if we lived closer.

Ambiance was beautiful. Everything was delightfully themed and on point with the hotel. Service was very kind- all servers and hosts were polite, prompt and attentive. Food was delicious, we got kids dipper waffles, my husband steak & eggs, and I got a gruyere quiche. All were delicious. The characters made my heart so happy, spent extra time with my extra shy son to make him smile as well. Bonus points to this experience! 1 star off because not even a full 5 minutes passed from the time the bread basket came out to the time our food arrived and we felt rushed to leave. Other than that, highly recommend!

Dinner at Topolino's is an excellent option to escape the business and overstimulation of the theme parks (with small Disney touches of course). Service was friendly. Our server was very attentive and personable. He recommended the Sole and I was blown away! The flavor was incredible. The citrus flavor is strong but I wouldn't want it any other way. I also recommend the gnocchi! For my non alcoholic friends, the Bee's Knees was a wonderful beverage. I appreciate that it was aesthetically pleasing as well (while not the most important, I still like a cute drink) We didn't stay for dessert or the fireworks because it was a long day but I am confident we'll be back for those!

Disney honeymoon, vegan and meat eater review: Ambiance - stunning! Had the best table in house next to the window. Loved everything about this restaurant. . Food - I had the vegan off menu pasta with tomato sauce. This was incredible! I think it was homemade pasta the best I've ever had. I also modified the brusssl sprouts to be vegan without honey and this was a must order. My husband really enjoyed the shrimp "enhancement". He ordered a second one of these because he loved them so much! He had the filet and scallop entree which he thought was okay. He prefers ribeye but still enjoyed this. I had the vegan fruits of the forest dessert and I enjoyed this much more than I expected! Overall a 4.75/5 for food. :) Service - Paul was one of the best servers we had all week! . He was very patient with my questions and gave us a wonderful night to remember from our honeymoon! He kindly gave us a free champagne for our honeymoon. No complaints here!! so 100/5 for service. Overall this was an excellent meal. So worth the price! absolutely will return and I recommend this one to everyone! overall it was a 100/100 experience.

Incredible service, food and views! Our waiter Sami was amazing and even brought over a blanket when my friend said she was cold. It was an amazing experience and worth the cost of dinner. You can see the Epcot fireworks from the terrace and it was beautiful!

From the moment we sat down, the atmosphere was magical, and the characters made it even more special for everyone in our group. I opted for the steak and eggs--those eggs were some of the best I've ever had. I realize that's weird to say but I'm serious. Incredible. The steak was perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful. The bread basket that came with our meal was a lovely touch, offering a variety of fresh, delicious options. And of course, the POG (Passion-Orange-Guava) juice was the perfect refreshing start to the meal. Our waiter was exceptional, making sure we had everything we needed, offering suggestions along the way. The staff was also very accommodating when it came to taking group photos, which was greatly appreciated. Before leaving, be sure to take some time to step out onto the patio and take in the stunning view. It's the perfect way to round off a wonderful breakfast experience.

Came here for a Brunch character meal that my wife picked out, we were not disappointed. This was our second time here, which normally would not pick a 2nd time because I visit Disney maybe one a year, but it was great. Our service was excellent from Shannon from Minneapolis. She was very attentive and made great recommendations. We had the steak and eggs which was the better of the two meals we ordered, the other was meat, eggs with spinach, potatoes and toast. The meal included a starter of muffins and a croissant, with Nutella, butter and jelly on the sides. The meal price includes coffee, tea and juice. The tea was a premium twinnings. The ambiance is an upscale Italian, decor is not your typical themed Disney, but has Disney touches. They have a rooftop patio that you can see 3 parks from, including fire. They have outdoor lounge seating too. Most brunch meals were $49. The character meet and greet was great, we got our pictures with the big four: Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Daisy. At the end of our meal I had to tell our server we weren't visited by all of them, so she said no problem and will have them all stop by. We had someone at the table next to us take our pictures with them, and we returned the favor. If you have not been and have time and know how to get there, give them a try!

Our dinner was exceptional here along our first night at Disney. We had an 8:00 reservation so that we could see the 9pm Epcot fireworks during dinner. We were blown away by the service as our waiter told us when we had to go out on the terrace to prepare for the fireworks, and they held our dinner choices until we sat back down so they didn't get cold. The thoughtfulness was great. For food, we loved everything. I was so surprised by the ratatouille app as it's different than anything I've had and it was soooooo good! The pasta was also delicious and can't go wrong with a filet. Cant recommend this enough!

This is one of the most spectacular views at the Disney area This restaurant bar at 10th floor of Riviera is breathtaking. The cocktails are delicately prepared by mixologists and the result is magical. Topolino Tiramonto doesn't disappoint is just perfect pairing for an unforgettable evening in the happiest place on earth I didn't enjoy a full dinner despite por reservations because menu was mostly seafood and no fresh pasta dishes as expected in an Italian riviera themed resort But I must say, my time at the bar was delicious. Go there, indulge yourself with a cocktail and have fun.

Breakfast was very nice. Enjoyed the waffle and h today. We were there for an hour and while we didn't meet Donald we did enjoy the other characters. The whipped cream was the best part! It had an orange flair! The photos included here are from multiple trips

It was Amazing! I'm sure our large party took them by surprise ! The restaurant is definitely upscale butttt it's Disney you can be dressed down. We went for the roof top view but it was windy .. we had amazing drinks the new fashion is the bomb! Escargot was so yummy ! Thank you for accommodating to our party of 16! Home made pasta !

Just coming back to photo dump some more amazing dishes I had at Topolino recently. Happy to report the service and food is still amazing! in fact, every single time I go there, only does the menu change slightly, but it gets even better. This place is hard competition to try and beat as the best restaurant on Disney property. I'm happy to see that after all the years they've been open, the quality has not faltered.

Yelp
If I could give this a higher rating I definitely would! Been trying to get here the past couple of years and our TA scored us a reservation this year. Breakfast is character dining and that is what we wanted. Next time we'll try dinner. The pastry basket was delicious! Croissants were so flaky and the chocolate chip muffins so good. We wanted more but had our main dishes coming. We got the steak and eggs, smoked salmon and the two egg breakfast. Everything was on point, and our favorite were the potatoes. Our server was wonderful, giving us suggestions/recommendations and making sure we saw all four characters. Mickey, Minnie, Daisy and Donald were awesome! I have to give an extra thumbs up to Daisy and her interaction with us when I told her Donald was my favorite. The view from the terrace outside was really nice too! Will definitely be back for dinner/fireworks.

Nooshi B.

Yelp
Topolino's is incredible! From the decor and views to the service to the amazing food- we loved it all! Our party of 5 loved our dinner and our first visit there left a great first impression. We had a great seat by the window and were able to enjoy the fireworks show that started around 9:00pm. The food! My pork valley appetizer is an absolute MUST! Literally one of my favorite things I've had in quite some time. The cauliflower steak was also well done and a nice option for vegetarians/vegans. Desert was fantastic and everyone else enjoyed their entrees. You really can't go wrong with anything here, but make sure to bring a jacket in case you're seated under an AC vent as it gets cold in those areas.

Quite possibly the BEST character breakfast on property. I've been going to Disney for 30+ years and have dined at a number of restaurants on property, and this may be my new favorite one. We booked for our last morning with the kids, and check in was a breeze. Located on the 10th floor of the Riviera Resort, was so easy to get to (either driving or via skyliner) Characters circulate every hour, so you're guaranteed to see them all during breakfast. Any character dining is magical, especially if you have kids, and they are finally at the age where they're attentive and excited to see them. Food was spectacular - steak and eggs for me and quiche for my wife. My picky eaters split the waffle dippers, because who doesn't love a Mickey waffle? Olivia (our server) was stellar, and was so accommodating with the kids. My only recommendation would be to have the pastry basket brought out to the table before orders are placed, because there was literally 5 minutes passed between the pastries and our meal. Other than that, will absolutely be back.

Clay B.

Yelp
I'll start with the pros: The service and ambience was great. Very upscale and our waiter, Samuel, was great. It was a nice view and we enjoyed hearing his recommendations. They also gave us a nice dessert for our anniversary. However...the food was not worth the price. My bill was well over $100 and we left HUNGRY. So hungry we stopped to get fast food on the way home. The portions were TINY. I understand that's normal for upscale restaurants but man this was tough. I'd be more forgiving if the food was better but honestly it wasn't great. The steak was by far the best part. Everything else had undeveloped flavors and was pretty bland. For the price I'd never go back.

Tiffany G.

Yelp
Highly disappointed in this restaurant. The service missed the "Disney Magic". I feel like our server could have been more present and more friendly throughout our dinner. The food was mediocre and over priced, even for a Disney restaurant! The restaurant decor was a 5/5 and the views were stunning. I wish the whole experience was that way.

Angelica T.

Yelp
The place is still beautiful and the staff pleasant, but I'm afraid the food was not up to par on my last visit. It was still awesome that we arrived around 5pm starving and they seated us right away without reservation at the bar for a small appetizer meal. "Escargot en Gougères: Savory Pâte à Choux, Butter, Garlic, Lemon, Parsley" I had been craving the escargot I had loved so much on my last visit but they made changes since then that was less palatable. They removed the shell from the escargot, making the experience not as fun. They also soaked garlic bread bites on it, which at first looked like a great idea. I found out soon enough that the whole thing was so salty, I just finished the escargot part with the bread I was given at the beginning of my meal and left the bread that was soaking in salty sauce, and I only ate the escargot out of respect for the creature who lost its life to be my meal (and because it cost a pretty penny ) "Celery Root and Black Truffle Soup: Brown Butter, Honeycrisp Apple, Focaccia Crouton" I'm a sucker for truffles and had to try out this soup. I tasted the celery but didn't really taste any truffles. It was presented beautifully in that they put the soup on top of the solid ingredients right in front of you. It was light and airy and not as tasty as I was expecting. The best thing about this dish is that I had something to decrease the saltiness of the escargot. I had originally wanted to order the rigatoni, but my husband wanted to eat somewhere else later in the day so we compromised by only getting appetizers since I was starving already. Maybe it would be better? We won't know now. Perhaps we will try it next time we are in town but the dishes we got today will definitely not make it back on my list of must-haves. Sorry, Topolino's. I'm sad to be writing this.

We finally at here after trying to snag time and reservations for many years. The character breakfast did not disappointment. Both of us ordered the steak and eggs and thought it was delicious and actually a decent value for Disney Dining! The restaurant itself is stunning. I felt like the service was fine but not consistent. For example. Our server was lovely, but I overheard other servers go into the backstory for the characters as artists and welcome them to take pictures out on the terrace. Which was gorgeous! We can't wait to come back here!

We dined at Topolino's Terrace twice in the last two years. Both times we had an excellent meal and enjoyed the fireworks of EPCOT from the outdoor viewing area. The food was excellent and our servers were friend and attentive.

This is one of the better signature restaurants at Disney world. The Uni tomato bisque was very unique & tasted almost like a lobster bisque. The ricotta is lemony & made in house. The rigatoni is a must order every single time. The lemon tiramisu is pretty much the only thing I didn't love. Highly recommend dining here!

Topolino's Terrace is a beautiful restaurant situated at the top of the Riviera resort. After four days of average at best food around the parks, I thought we could splurge and get a high quality experience to end our short vacation. When we stepped off the elevator and went to the host stand, we encountered a rather dour hostess. I mention it because it's weird and off-putting at any restaurant, but at Disney it's extra weird. We were seated at a table next to a family with two boisterous --and cranky-- children. Keep in mind, we made our reservation for 9:30 pm and at least half the sections in the restaurant were empty but the hostess sat us where she sat us. A little more thought, please. This isn't a casual restaurant at all, with entrees being on average in the 50 dollar range. If you're having an app or dessert and one drink, we're talking about 100 pp after tip. The wine list is promising and there's a good range by the glass. Cocktails look intriguing but I stuck to an Italian red. My favorite thing about the higher end restaurants on property is access to really good wines. There are a couple plant-based options here, including an appetizer that is fried vegetables (not too exciting so I passed) and a cauliflower steak entree. The description intrigued me: faro, fava beans, arugula and a green peppercorn dressing. What I received was a bland plate of food, the faro being the most disappointing and completely unseasoned. The cauliflower is tender and charred and tasty, but it would have been nice to have more than a small sliver. They're taking the "steak" concept too far here. It's a vegetable and I want an abundance of it. You can leave that faro in the box. I love arugula but whatever that dressing is, it's not remarkable. Because I wasn't satisfied with this entree, I thought perhaps there might be a dessert worth indulging in. I've been noticing that Disney restaurants have really been offering exceptional plant-based desserts. Not here. I think they had a boring sorbet and that's it. I passed. For this price point, I expected more, but I'm coming to realize that higher price points at Disney can still mean mediocre food.

This was our very first time visiting the Riviera. Very nice, upscale resort. Bread service was great, the olive oil paired with the bread was delicious! I got the Uni Tomato Bisque as an appetizer. They bring out a plate with just the uni and crab meat in the middle then a server will pour the tomato bisque around it, very neat! They are known for their rigatoni and I think it was good! Has bits of different mushrooms and pieces of chicken in it. Our server Andrea was great and very knowledgeable about the menu. We came after a day in the park, so park attire is fine. Overall we had a nice visit!

We were able to get a reservation for this at the very last minute and loved it. If you are a Disney lover, you probably know where this restaurant is located and how the experience is since that's pretty much is what you are paying for right? :) the place was very spacious and nicely decorated. It was expensive though for basic breakfast but if you go there, most likely you are paying for the experience which is what we did. We enjoyed interacting with the characters like Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy. Service was great and all the characters were amazing.

Very good upscale restaurant on Disney property. We made two reservations because there were no reservations for 10 available, and we were able to be seated as a large party of ten--we really appreciated the accommodation. The service was prompt and polite, and our waiter made some great recommendations. Some of the dishes we really enjoyed included the Filet, the Sole and the Lamb. We were surprised that there were very little to mo pasta dishes offered on the menu; this was surprising mostly because when you walk in the restaurant, there is a large case with what appears to be lots of fresh pasta. After asking our waiter, though, we leaned that's just a display. Overall, if you're staying on property, it's a good place to come for a nice meal.

This is a beautiful restaurant with view of Epcot and Hollywood Studios fireworks. Our waitress was very kind and helpful. The lamb gnocchi was so amazing, I have not stopped thinking about it. I got the Sole with the scallop enhancement. Whatever you decide to get, make sure you add the scallops. They were perfectly cooked and came with a delicious black truffle jam. My husband got the lamb shank and absolutely loved it. We shared the fruits of the forest desert. It was not only beautiful but also amazingly flavorful. Highly recommend this place.

We were celebrating my in-laws' 44th wedding anniversary while in Disney and were looking for a nice, fine dining experience. Topolino's was recommended to us and we had made our reservation about five weeks before. We couldn't find any kind of reservation for five people, so since my three year year-old would be with us I figured it would be easy for him to just sit on me, if necessary and/or have a high chair. So I made the reservation for four, and that was available right away. There's always a big difference between five and four in terms of availability. It was so nice, entering into the Riviera. We took the elevator up to the restaurant and we're so impressed by how nice it looked. They even have dried pasta hanging in a case and their wine displayed as well. We were greeted by the host and hostess. The host seem to be very irritated that there was five of us and I had made the reservation for four. He had mentioned that now we were going to have to wait for an open table. I tried telling him that it wasn't a big deal because my son can just sit with me. We waited for about 10 minutes and then I checked back in. He seemed to be growing more and more frustrated with me. It really wasn't that big of a deal, I had mentioned. Finally, they called our names and we were escorted to a table, in the back with a beautiful view of the tourist That had six seats. Now, we had more than enough room. Unfortunately, we were all kind of in a bad mood by the way we were treated when we first got there so it put a damper on the evening and the experience. We were greeted by our amazing server, Rae. She was so sweet. Attentive, great server. The rest of the experience went by pretty fast. We did not indulge in cocktails or appetizers, but just simply put our orders in. We didn't really have to wait long at all For our food to come out and they did bring out complimentary bread. They have a decent kids menu. My son ordered the grilled chicken with carrots and macaroni and cheese. The pasta is made in white, cheese sauce and it's delicious. You know, a good mom always taste tests their child's food. My husband ordered the lamb shank and mentioned how delicious and also what a big portion it was. My father-in-law ordered the Branzino and it was delicious, I tried some. my mother-in-law and I decided to split the fillet and scallops dish so we could create our own little surf and turf. I would definitely recommend that. The filet is a huge portion over a bed of mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. The scallops come with delicious vegetables and I believe there were five of them. They brought out a tiny little, complimentary dessert for my in-laws anniversary. Overall, I thought the food portions were more than generous, the food itself was delicious, the terrace is so pretty. I definitely recommend going out there either for a cocktail before you eat, or after. Or just to take photos like we did after our meal. Such an amazing view. Nice, swanky seating. Perfect environment for cocktail or golden hour. Not impressed by the host situation, but definitely loved our server, shout out to Rae! The prices are high, but nothing unusual for fine dining in Disney. Also, you do get a lot for what you pay for. The environment is beautiful. Everyone is dressed up and having a great time.

The place is excellent. Located on the top level of the Riviera Hotel, it offers a stunning view of the resort property and the skyway gondolas, especially at night. I ordered the bouillabaisse, and I must say, not only was it the best dish of our stay at the resort, but it was also the finest bouillabaisse I've had outside Marseille. The sous-chef, who trained at an authentic French restaurant, has brought that authenticity to this dish. Fresh and rustic, it's bursting with dynamic flavors from aromatics like floral saffron, fennel, and leeks, which elevate the dish to perfection. Pair it with their excellent house bread, dipped in olive oil, and it will melt away the day's stress and fatigue from your time at the parks. I will absolutely return to this restaurant specifically for this dish.

This was one of our better experiences at a Disney speciality dining location. My filet was cooked perfectly for me & my wife's order of tortellini was dynamite Service was top notch and it was a really nice date night for us. $215 with tip for the afternoon

We got extremely lucky and were able to snag a breakfast reservation here. We checked the disney app the day before and there were actually 3 different time slots open. I would def recommend checking close to the day you actually want to go! They first serve some pastries, which included croissants and muffins. For my entree, I ordered the avocado toast without the prosciutto. It was very tasty and I was full by the time I finished the pastries and my entree! It was more than enough food. The quality of the food here is much higher than at some other character dining locations (especially the buffets) so I really enjoyed it. Also, the environment was much more calm and quiet. The characters were so cute in their outfits and they spend ample time at each table. They servers were very kind and they make sure that all the characters visit your table. I would definitely recommend coming here for a breakfast character dining experience!!

Favorite breakfast outside of parks!! I didn't rate it 5 stars because of the pricing arrangement. It's kind of too much asking to pay $50 for an avocado toast it includes juices and pastries but, come on). I always get the steak and eggs regardless if it's at eight in the morning or at 11:55. I go for medium rare, and they never miss with the flavor and tenderness you expect it to have (better than Disney's steakhouse 71). The eggs are cooked to your choice, and it comes with potatoes and a bit of creamy polenta. Even the pastries are fresh and yummy. Make sure you get the famous pog juice. Character interaction is top-notch. It's not rushed and they make sure you get to see all characters. Favorite character interaction. The ambience is elegant and casual, without being too loud. Make sure you checkout the view at the terrace afterwards.

We heard rave reviews about this place for a character breakfast so we decided to try it out. We ordered the kids Mickey waffles and eggs, and the adult steak and eggs. There were some serious pros and cons to consider: Pros: -Food is incredible. They bring unlimited bread basket featuring chocolate chip and spice crumble muffins and croissants, with butter, jam and Nutella. The croissants were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The steak was cooked perfectly! -You get to see the characters many times, offering plenty of photo and autograph opportunities. Cons: -The regular Bloody Mary is SUPER spicy beware, I love spice and it was even spicy for me. -The service was terrible. Our two tables of six never got offered water and our waitress was never around. The tables never got bussed so we had heaping piles of silverware, cups, and plates. -My husbands food never came and we had to ask for it three times. He had to scarf his food down after we ate were done. -While you het ample opportunity to see the characters, you'll only see Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Daisy. They did make it right and took my husbands food off the bill, so we were grateful for that. Tips: -Book early! This got booked up immediately, despite me booking 60 days before our trip. -this IS NOT a buffet! You have plenty of delicious options to choose from though. -Go with the steak, you won't regret it!

This is hands down one of the best character dining experiences in Disney World. The location itself is stunning - top of the Riviera resort with amazing views. We were lucky enough to snag a last minute reso here on our last day. Our waiter (Chris I believe) was fantastic, he immediately let us know what was absolutely worth eating on the menu and what to not bother with. Then the food. The food was so amazing, we both had the sour cream waffles with eggs on the side. So delicious and not too sweet at all. Special shout out to the potatoes they were so good. We were able to see all four characters throughout our meal without any issue. I would absolutely eat here again in a heart beat.

This review is for breakfast, and I have one word: amazing. The service, the food, the character experience, and the ambiance were all top-notch. Reservations for breakfast can be hard to come by, but we kept checking and managed to snag one of the earlier time slots (7:40) 2 days before. They start you off with complimentary pastries and POG juice. My husband and I both got the steak and eggs and it was absolutely delicious! The accompanying potatoes and polenta were a nice added touch. Our toddler was over-the-moon excited to see all of the characters and they all spent a decent amount of time at our table interacting with her. The service was attentive, friendly, and super quick. Highly recommend Topolino's for their character breakfast- it did not disappoint!

The best character breakfast and all around best breakfast at Disney!!! The restaurant is located on the top floor of the Riviera Hotel with great panoramic views of the Disney parks and property. It's a character breakfast with the OG characters. Great spot to see the characters and enjoy a good breakfast. The service is exceptional and the food was delicious. The quiche is amazing!!! As long as we are lucky enough to grab reservations here we will always dine at Topolinos.

Wow was this disappointing. We waited over a half hour over our reservation time to find plenty of open tables in the restaurant. Our waitress was very nice but the food was just not good and way over priced. To start I had the ratatouille fritters which I assumed were balls and they were not they were flat pancake shapes with sauce I could have made better at home. For my entree I had the cauliflower steak which came out charred and was smaller than my fist. It had no seasoning on it at all besides a tiny bit of a red sauce that ultimately ended up on my plate. There was no salt or pepper to be found on the cauliflower making it small, bland and boring. The rest was find but for $37 this is ridiculously overpriced. I did tell the waitress and she ended up giving us a free dessert because she felt bad. My mom got the sole which she was told was crispy and it was not. She had the same bland charred cauliflower in hers and it was dredged in a butter sauce that she said really hurt her stomach there was so much. Overall not a good experience and we won't be coming back.

Made reservations for dinner around the time for the fireworks. Took the elevator up to the restaurant and checked in with the host. Our server was excellent and friendly. The food tasted good, I really liked the gnocchi and filet mignon. When it was about time for the fireworks they let us know that we could go outside to watch. It was a memorable meal.

This was my first time staying at the Riviera hotel and it was fantastic! My group knew we had to try out dinner at the terrace, so we got reservations ahead of time. We arrived around 9PM, right in time to watch the fireworks on the rooftop! I highly recommend snagging a spot ahead of time as it gets pretty crowded up there. We were greeted fairly quickly. Our server was so sweet and answered all of our questions about the restaurant and hotel. We started off with appetizers. The escargot was drowning in buttery goodness, so yummy. We also got the burrata. The heirloom tomatoes were perfectly ripe, it was so tasty and a super refreshing app. I ordered the bouillabaisse for myself, and my partner ordered the classic sole meuniere. The sole was DELICIOUS. It tasted fresh, and the portion sizes was fairly large. My bouillabaisse was just alright. The clams had a VERY seafoody smell as I was eating it. Maybe the seafood in my dish wasn't as fresh, but overall it was yummy. I'd love to try this place again, maybe the next time I'm back in Disney. Highly recommend!

This character breakfast is the definition of excellence. I can totally understand why this is the most difficult reservation to make. It took us 5 years of annual visits to Disneyworld and setting the alarm in the wee hours of the morning 6 months ahead of time, to finally nab a time slot. This experience did not disappoint. The Riveira in itself is an elegant masterpiece. Everything is adorned with clean black and gold outlines. The garden on the grounds resembles Versailles. Topolino's was on the top floor. Hanging golden chandeliers dangled like strands of sparkling pasta. The whole layout looked very elegant. We were acknowledged immediately upon arrival and were seated in a booth. The server was very knowledgeable and explained all our options expertly. He brought out our drinks quickly. For starters, we got the complimentary variety of pasties, including croissants, chocolate muffins, and cranberry muffins in a paint bowl with a paint brush spreading knife. Three spreads of house made jam, nutella, and butter was available on the same platter. Those were all delicious, perfectly proportioned, and it was fun to be able to mix and match your flavor profile. I got the pancetta gruyere quiche with the lemon vinaigrette field greens. The quiche was so hearty and savory. The ratio of the filling to crust was perfect. The salad was light and refreshing, a perfect complement to the richness of the quiche. My husband got the wood fired steak and eggs. This was the crowning jewel. The steak was well seasoned and cooked. The wild mushrooms, slight crunch of the microgreens, and the polenta married together really well. Our girls had the mickey waffle dippers. It was decorated with some breakfast meats and dipping jams on a paint palate. Such an adorable presentation. And of course, can't forget about the POG juice. Oh boy, what a treat that was. The passion fruit guava, and orange juice combination was just delightful. As for the characters, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy in their artsy fartsy outfits, circulated around us basically the entire time. They had a music rendition on occasion but other than that they were taking pictures at all the tables. Overall, this is hands down the best value for a character breakfast that I have ever had. Historically at other places, I feel like you pay a lot of money to see just the characters, but the food is pretty standard. Not the case here. Topolino's really is impressive with its attention to detail, elevated food options, and character appearance frequency. Would not hesitate to make this my number one destination next time around!
