Best Italian at Disney Springs?

[AngieInOH]

Anyone visited all 3 or 2 of them? Which do you prefer?

Enzo's Hideaway
Maria & Enzo's
Terralina Crafted

I've been to all three. My order of preference:
1. Enzo's Hideaway
2. Terralina
3. Maria & Enzo's

It's usually just me and DH or other adults (no kids) visiting DS so what we like may not work for everyone.

Enzo's Hideaway has a great cocktail and wine list along with a solid, if somewhat compact, menu. While it is a restaurant, it's also very much a bar and the menu and space reflect that. Other than a hiccup last October, we've usually had great service there.

Terralina is a close competitor. It's great for a relaxing meal with high standards. The food is good and the atmosphere is refined but not too stuffy. If you enjoy mainstream Italian places like Olive Garden or Carrabba's you'll be quite comfortable here. It's a step up from there, but not fine dining. They also have outdoor tables which is great in current times.

Maria and Enzo's is our least favorite. We've only been once, where we've been to the other 2 many times. It's definitely for families and very oriented to kids. We found the space so loud it was hard to talk to each other and the tables (pre-COVID) were crammed on top of each other with children running in the aisles. The food wasn't awful, but not spectacular. Service was hurried and the staff seemed stretched to handle the capacity they had. It wasn't awful, but it's not for us. I will say the theming was cool.

Thank you so much. This really helps! We are with no kids this time so a loud atmosphere isn't what we're looking for. Thanks for you perspective!

we like Terralina. By far I would not put Olive Garden and them in the same sentence. I will say however the flavor or spice they once had is gone and was so the last few years it was PortoBella But it is still good but blander then before. I have heard good and bad about all so I would look at the menus and choose the menu you like the most. Everyone groups Italian into one bucket and that simply is not the case. Some will specialize in Norther Italian some Southern….. I will warn if pizza or flatbread is you thing I would not go to any of the above. Stick with Blaze you will be far happier.

Terralina is great. I felt the food was good and the price was reasonable for disney standards.

Been to all 3.......and here is my order

1. Maria and Enzo's
2. Enzo's Hideaway
75. Terralina


NOT a fan of Terralina at all, as you can see. Good service, but the food is the equivalent of a bad Olive Garden. I actually like Maria and Enzo's--and their Pizza Shop has GREAT pizza too.

Wow, if Maria and Enzo's is #1 on your list then Terralina must be equal to frozen $1 microwave meals to us because we thought Maria and Enzo was worse than Olive Garden. Didn't try their pizza window though. Did their restaurant twice with the special passholder deals they've done and nope. Not for us.

I think Italian is one of those that is very polarizing in how folks like it. Mexican is another that falls in that arena.

We've yet to try Enzo's. Keep meaning to

Oh, ha, I missed the Springs part. No, It's actually terrible pizza at HS.

It is terrible, isn't it? Sad they went from bad to worse when they replaced Pizza Planet.

Yeah, You're better off to throw the pizza away and eat the plate they serve it on.

All I can think of when I hear Maria and Enzo’s is Pete saying he realized after eating there that Enzo made Enzo’s Hideaway to hide away from Maria’s cooking.

I think I have agreed with exactly .00001% of Pete's reviews but that comment I can agree with.

LOL.....I'm an Eggplant Parm guy, and M/E was really good. I will say, that all of these are 2nd to Il Mulino if you are talking Italian in 'all' of WDW. Just went there tonight, and always a great meal!!!

I was surprised by the food at Terralina's (wasn't expecting much but the food was good). Didn't care for Enzo's to Maria and Enzos. If it were up to me I'd eat elsewhere, DS has so many better options. My favorite restaurant in DS is Jaleo.

Terralina Antipasto tower and pork gnocci. We were pretty happy, 8 of us went a couple months ago and everyone enjoyed dinner.
