We ate dinner here on Feb. 13, 2022. My husband had the short rib entree and within three hours was violently ill with food poisoning. He lost an entire day of our vacation and continued to feel bad for most of our trip. How very disappointing. Do not eat here.
Pros:
The bar below the restaurant, Enzo's Hideaway, was lovely. Wish we'd eaten there.Cons:

The menu that you see on the My Disney Experience app is NOT what they offer in the restaurant. It is a much smaller menu. I ordered the Braised beef and it was dry and tasteless. I didn’t eat any of it and shared the dish my husband ordered. The dish I ordered was $38 and I was not offered a refund. I am not picky and rarely complain, but this was disappointing. I’m also expecting to spend a lot of money at Disney and am okay with that, as long as the food is good. The service was also very, very slow. We waited 25 minutes to get beverages.

Was excited to try this restaurant but the entire experience was over rated. My chicken parm was average and didnt even come with a side just a huge piece of chicken with a little sauce and cheese, same with hubbys eggplant parm. Between these two "entrees" an appetizer and two sodas it cost us $100 totally not worth it, will not be going back!
Pros:
pretty restaurantCons:

I was so excited to try this restaurant with my family but was disappointed about the very small portions with no sides included and high prices. My granddaughter wanted a penne instead of spaghetti and we were told they don't make substitutions. They did have penne on their menu so I think this was ridiculous. It was a beautiful restaurant, but we won't be dining there on future trips.
Pros:

The styling of the restaurant is well done and the service was exceptional. That being said the food was not on par with the very high prices. Glad we tried it but probably will not go back again.
Pros:
The private room was very nice and much quieter than the rest of the restaurant.Cons:
Somewhat disappointed in the food. We are foodies and were expecting more from authentic Italian cuisine for the price point.Reviewed by Rosie C Review Date: 10/01/2018

The atmosphere here is excellent, it’s so pretty inside and the themeing is top notch. Our server was excellent and the pacing of the meal was great. I had the spaghetti and meatballs and they were good but not great (I think Mama Melrose is better). My sangria was terrific though and my husband enjoyed his steak.
Pros:
Service and atmosphereCons:
Mama Melrose set the bar too highReviewed by peabody58 Review Date: 05/26/2022

Pleasantly surprised! Based on past reviews I was prepared for a so-so experience. The dining area is bright and open, not to noisy. The food for our tastes was perfect. The Lasagna Bolanages was very good. This could now be the best kept secret at DS as they have really up'd their service/menu since older reviews. As always, YMMV, but we would recommend it as a good option.
Pros:
Great open and airy dining area with wonderful view of the water and SSR.Cons:
None to mention.Reviewed by allec999 Review Date: 08/30/2019

Had dinner here for the first time on our last trip. Theming in the restaurant - it's meant to resemble the inside of an airport - was a little odd, but it was a nice, well-lit, circular space. Food was outstanding - Italian classics, and all at our table were very much enjoyed. Service was solid.
They also had what you might call entertainment throughout the floor. A man on stilts doing animal balloons (or whatever shape was requested - we saw someone get a Rolling Stones lips and tongue balloon at another table), and another man walked around playing the violin, taking requests. He performed what was likely the first-of-its-kind mash-up of Ave Maria and Baby Got Back for our table, and he really seemed to enjoy doing it.
Overall, a very good experience.

Will do again! We had the pass holder discount deal special offer before the end of the year, so the price was excellent. Atmosphere was good, food excellent.
Pros:
Good food, great temporary price!Cons:
Elevator was requested vs stairs...wasn’t a con really but had to ask since seating was downstairsReviewed by Jazzfool20 Review Date: 05/19/2018

We had dinner here towards the end of our stay, earlier this month (5/18). It was excellent. Being a vintage enthusiast, I was very much looking forward to dining here, and it did not disappoint. We did not, have a reservation, but were seated almost immediately. The restaurant itself is lovely, it really has the look of a 1930s airline terminal - very streamline-moderne! The background music as well was very appropriate, a mix of period, and more contemporary Jazz. Drinks and food were wonderful, I had pasta, and a salad, and an Italian twist on a Manhattan (which was superb). Service was excellent as well: Attentive, but never overly so. Price wise, it was what one would expect for Disney, but we had tables in wonderland, which certainly helps. The only negative, and this isn't so much the restaurants fault, but people were dressed like they just rolled out of bed, or came from the gym! It would be nice if they had some kind of a dress code. In any case, I would happily return, and very much recommend!
