Best Italian restaurant at disney springs?

[SwanVT2]

Title says it all. Family wants Italian tonight and we will be going to Disney springs. Thanks!

Wish I could help, both Mario and Enzo's and Terralina have recently opened since we have been there. Might be hard pressed to find anyone that has actually eaten at both to compare.

I very much liked Maria and Enzo. Amazing theming. The food was fantastic. The LARGEST piece of chicken parm I have ever seen, but the highlight was the caprese. Phenomenal, FRESH mozzerella. Warm bread and olive oil for the table. The kids dishes BLOW the parks out of the water with their bowl of fresh fruit (cantaloupe, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries!) or the fried cheese. One kid LOVED his meatball and the others devored the pasta. I did think the chicken fingers were a little overcooked, and while I loved the potatoes that came with the kids meal, my son did not. I think he was hoping for fries, but these were real potatoes, much like breakfast potatoes, but without the onions. My kids were also delighted that their meal came with a cookie or ice cream for dessert. My teenager daughter had the gnocchi which I am not seeing on the menu now. It included some pumpkin and sage so I imagine it was more of a seasonal offereing. Another time I had the ravioli. It was good, but the almond pesto was heavenly and elevated the dish. We also tried the Enzo's torta, which was good. And their iced tea is AMAZING! (If you love real iced tea, you will love this place!)

Next time I go (I'm a local), I really want to try the sea bass.

Servings are large and could easily be shared, especially if you have an app or salad.

My wife and I totally enjoyed Maria and Enzo's. You can find my review here:

Normally, we don't eat Italian dinners on vacation since NYC has so many credible places but DGD enjoys it anywhere so the oldsters get dragged along for the ride.
We all enjoyed the Sunday Supper at Enzo's Hideaway one arrival day. Flavourful sausages, tender beef short ribs, moist roast chicken (could have used a bit more herbs for my taste but at least it wasn't sawdust dry), and quite nice meatballs, served with a plate of pasta and preceded by a freshly made salad and charcuterie platter. The meal ended with a choice of 2 desserts. Great bargain at about $ 40.00 per adult.

My feeling is if they can pull the food quality and price off at this price point they can do the same for the regular menu.



Sorry, haven't eaten at Terralina.
