When it comes to EPCOT, Disney adults have a lot of hacks and trends, especially when it comes to World Showcase. Whether it’s working their way through the International Gateway or the various World Showcase pavilions, there’s seemingly something for everyone in the park.
One of the recent trends we’ve seen developing lately has to do with the Italy Pavilion. Specifically, some Disney Adults are eschewing one of the pavilion’s sit-down restaurants for a lounge location.
Tutto Italia Ristorante is a traditional Italian restaurant located in EPCOT’s Italy. The eatery offers chicken, fish, handmade pasta, lasagna, and more authentic Italian dishes from a menu created by award-winning chef and restaurateur Joachim Splichal. Aesthetically, Tutto Itlaia features seating on both an outside patio and a dining room adorned with murals of ancient Rome and sparkling chandeliers.
However, while the restaurant is a very solid option for a table service meal, it faces the same issues as many of EPCOT’s World Showcase eateries: It’s often crowded, and reservations fill up well in advance.
Given those issues and the time commitment that it takes to have a table service meal at EPCOT, some Disney adults are choosing a different option. That’s where the Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar comes in.
This cozy wine bar is also located in the Italy Pavilion, and offers a 200+ bottle strong wine list, as well as a menu featuring small bites and Italian favorites…
… as well as a selection of meats and cheeses, all in an authentic wine cellar setting.
Many EPCOT visitors who want to capture the vibes of an Italian dining experience without the wait or reservations required to eat at Tutta Italia are instead enjoying the more relaxed lounge environment of Tutto Gusto.
There tends to be plenty of room, and the atmosphere is pretty amazing!
We also love the fact that you can literally have an entire meal here, if that’s what you’re looking for!
