Planning a last minute trip. These are the dining options available for our Disney Springs day. I don't see them mentioned much. Does anyone have any opinions on these restaurants?

The Edison
Enzo's Hideaway
Maria & Enzo's Ristorante
Paradiso 37, Taste of the Americas
STK Steakhouse
Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill
Terralina Crafted Italian

I’ve eaten at Enzo’s, WP Bar and Grill and Maria + Enzo. All respectable and I’d have no qualms returning. Can’t say anything about the others but if you’d like to widen the reservation pool, log into Open Table’s website. They offer reservations at almost all DS eateries and generally have more availability than the WDW website.

Thanks for asking this question - it's something I've pondered for a while. I suspect that these aren't mentioned often because they are ho hum. Not wonderful. Not horrible. Just nothing to make them memorable.

For example, you mention restaurants that specialize in Italian food, which is often a staple of the restaurant business. But at WDW, there are many other Italian food restaurants besides those at DS. To me, the best in that category is Il Mulino at the Swan. So I wouldn't consider one of the DS Italian restaurants.

We like City Works. It's big, has your basic pub/bar food offerings, but the food has been consistently good, and if you are beer drinkers, they have an incredible selection.

We did not have a good experience at Maria&Enzo's. We were placed in a side room and it was like the servers forgot we were there. There were 2 other parties in the same area. There really was no theming- it felt like being in a lounge or something- and the service was poor. We won't go back.

The only one of those I would say to avoid is Paradiso 37. Food and service are awful. Easily the worst dining experience I've had at WDW. There's a reason why it's always available reservation wise.
