Hi Christine,
Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar in the Italy pavilion is one of my favorite places to get a bite to eat and a glass of wine at
Epcot. It's a cool haven for a little refreshment or a full meal. Besides the Tutto Gusto small plates menu, you also can order from the full menu of the adjacent
Tutto Italia restaurant.
Tutto Gusto does not accept reservations. We've usually been able to get a table with a minimal wait, but the wine bar can garner a long line at busy times. I would suggest arriving early in the afternoon or later in the evening for best availability.
Our favorite time is mid-afternoon. We have share a couple of small plates and a wine flight or, if beer is your preference, a cold Peroni. We especially like the paninis, the meatball sliders and the pastas.
We love lounge hopping for small-plate dining at the theme parks and at the
Walt Disney World resorts. If you like Tutto Gusto, I'd also suggest Crew's Cup Lounge at the Yacht Club, Mizner's Lounge at the Grand Floridian, Territory Lounge at Wilderness Lodge, Nomad Lounge at Animal Kingdom and the Cape Town Lounge or Victoria Falls Lounge, both at Animal Kingdom Lodge.
They all have interesting drink and food menus in relaxing atmospheres.
Thanks so much for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. I love talking about Walt Disney World food and drink options.
Happy dining!
Wilma
