Hello, Jeremiah,
We ate at
Via Napoli on our last trip, and it was one of the first restaurants I booked for our next trip. We LOVE it!
When we dined there, we didn't come near the $35 per person since we bought a pizza and shared it. The largest pizza is around $40 and generously serves 5 guests, which makes it around $8 a person (please know prices are subject to change). When you visit, you may want to ask your server about the pizza size to know if it will meet your family's needs, but we thought it was fine.
If you visit www.disneyfoodblog.com and do a search for
Via Napoli, you can view the menu. This may help you to see the specific costs.
Another family rule we have while dining at WDW is to stick with water while dining. Since we purchase refillable mugs at the resort, we can get all the soda/coffee/tea/hot chocolate we want at the resort. It seems silly to spend the additional money at the restaurants.
Thank you for the question; please let us know if we can help again.
