Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar - Orlando

One friendly ground crew member even offered us seats with extra legroom at no additional charge, which was a nice gesture. However, when we inquired about upgrading to the actual exit door seats, a rude United staff member bluntly informed us it would cost $60, regardless of whether those seats remained empty. We tried to explain our situation, emphasizing that the delay was not our fault and could jeopardize our connection, but she remained unyielding. When H attempted to ask for her name, she responded curtly with a smirk, “You don’t need to know my name.”

This hidden gem is located right next to the Tutto Gusto restaurant. Although it shares the same menu, the atmosphere is more bar-like. We were able to find a charming and private table for Thanksgiving. The lighting is a bit dim, but it doesn't detract from the dining experience. Every dish we ordered was fantastic! The wait staff was friendly, and all the employees were from Italy. The tiramisu was delicious! We will definitely return on our next visit to Epcot.

After evaluating our options, I went to Hahn with the Blue Point beer and my wife chose a Chardonnay. We also ordered the cozze (mussel in white wine and tomatoes), Rughetta e Patate (pasta with arugula, potato, pancetta, pecorino cheese and tomatoes), and two paninis (prosciutto di parma, and bufala mozzarella pomodoro).

This restaurant offers a solid representation of American Italian cuisine and features a good selection of wines. If you're looking to take a break from Disney dining, I highly recommend giving it a try. Be sure to make a reservation in advance, as it tends to get busy.

Nice spot to get out of the crowds and chill for a bit. The wine flights are pretty affordable given where you are. The meatballs weren't decent enough.
