Where to Eat:
3. Via Napoli: Discover the flavors of southern Italy in the newest restaurant to join the Italy Pavilion at Epcot theme park. Here you’ll enjoy an authentic array of pastas, salads, and gelato, but even more impressive are Neapolitan style pizzas: the chefs travel all the way to Italy to learn their process of pizza making. In the open concept kitchen, you’ll see three uniquely decorated wood burning ovens that resemble large smiling faces set at 800 degrees, which means it only take two minutes to cook your pizza! If you’re not into pizza, then be sure to try the absolutely scrumptious homemade veal and parmesan meatballs.
4. La Hacienda: Another one of the newest restaurants in Epcot’s World Showcase, old world hospitality thrives at La Hacienda de San Angel. Here you’ll indulge in the smoky flavors of southern Mexico. And talk about authentic: they actually brought in two taco specialists from one of the best taquerias in Mexico to help create the menu. La Hacienda also features specialty tequila flights and they have a “tequila ambassador” who will take you through the history of tequila. After dinner and drinks, you’ll find the view here perfect for the nightly IllumiNations Fireworks Spectacular.
5. Paradiso 37: Located in Pleasure Island, this high-energy restaurant and bar serves up unique cuisine inspired by the eclectic tastes of the North, Central and South Americas. This new restaurant features signature frozen margaritas, an international wine bar and a one of a kind tequila tower bar with thirty-seven kinds of tequila and a selection of signature frozen margaritas. In fact, the first four pages of the extensive menu are dedicated to alcohol choices. Be sure to get a table on the patio where you can enjoy the sounds of a live band and take in the sights of Downtown Disney.
What to do:
6. Epcot International Food and Wine Festival: Each fall, Epcot transforms itself into an international extravaganza with more than twenty-five international marketplaces surrounding the park’s World Showcase Lagoon. It is here where you’ll come across over 900,000 savory treats and over 33,000 bottles of wine and champagne to partake in. You’ll also have an opportunity to take seminars on wine pairings, mixology and cooking taught by world-renowned chefs: with plenty of samples! This is by far one of the greatest food festivals in America!
7. Party for the Senses: During the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, dozens of Disney and celebrity chefs whip up flavorful temptations and sweet treats. In addition, wineries and beverage makers offer tastes from around the world during one of several Party for the Senses premium grand tasting extravaganzas.
