A popular restaurant reopens May 1 at Epcot in Walt Disney World.
The Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar located in a reproduction of the Medici Palace in the Italy pavilion re-opens featuring 200 Italian wines to be paired with a selection of authentic Italian small plates, according to the Walt Disney Company.
The renovation expands the restaurant with covered outdoor seating for 45, a new carpet, dark-wood booths and larger banquettes replacing some of the tables in the dining room.
Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar will be unveiled as part of Tutto Italia’s grand re-opening. “The architecture of both properties reflect classical antiquity and symmetry emblematic of the Italian Renaissance period. Tutto Italia has been completely refurbished along with a new enclosed patio to offer al fresco dining. Both the restaurant and wine cellar are furnished with authentic design elements directly from Italy: chandeliers, marble and limestone floors, wall hangings and more,” a Disney news release states.
Chef Renzo Barcatta grew up in Cavalese, Italy will prepare authentic dishes with choices sourced across Italy. The menus will feature sections devoted to small plates, artisanal Italian cheeses, hand-crafted mozzarella and cured, sliced meats.
