Theresa, let's talk about some pasta-bilities when dining in Epcot!
My hands down favorite for classic Italian cooking is
Tutto Italia Ristorante in World Showcase. This Table Service eatery is a quiet respite for Guests looking to escape the crowds. However, I can certainly understand if you don't want to take time for a longer meal- I'm always anxious to ride Soarin' Around the World, too! Surprisingly, there only a few pasta options at Epcot's Quick Service locations. The first place I'd steer you towards is
Sunshine Seasons in the Land Pavilion. This is a favorite lunch spot of many Guests, with lots of seating and a variety of menu options, including healthy choices. The Kids' Menu includes Pasta with Marinara and Meatballs (I've been known to order off the little tykes' menu many a time here). If you're willing to branch out and try some Asian inspired entrees, there is a Mongolian Beef dish served with noodles. The cheerful decor and fantastic cupcakes make Sunshine Seasons my top choice!
If touring around World Showcase Lagoon, is more your thing, try the
Liberty Inn. Although they are better known for their burgers and sandwich options, there is also a Pasta with Marinara Kids' Meal here. If you continue to the Japan Pavilion, I recommend
Katsura Grill's Noodle Bowls, particularly the Shrimp Tempura Udon. Finally,
Sommerfest in Germany has a delicious Nudel Gratin, that is similar to baked mac and cheese. This would pair well with a Bratwurst (and a stein of beer)!
Buon appetito, Theresa!
