Trattoria al Forno is a popular dining spot located on Disney’s BoardWalk, serving up Italian-inspired cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Disney’s BoardWalk

Trattoria recently closed for some refurbishments, and Disney stated that guests could expect the restaurant to be closed from June 11th to June 17th, 2023. In the meantime, guests have been able to enjoy the restaurant’s limited breakfast menu while using Flying Fish’s dining room. We made dining reservations for Trattoria al Forno for June 19th, hoping to check out the recent changes and see if there were any menu updates. But we just got a phone call from Disney, and it was NOT what we wanted to hear! 😥
