BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 From the Disney Parks blog... First Look at New Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar in Italy at Epcotposted on April 5th, 2012 by Pam Brandon, Disney Parks Food WriterWith an opening set for early May, here’s a sneak peek at Tutto Gusto, the new wine bar adjacent to Tutto Italia Ristorante in the Italy Pavilion at Epcot that’s sure to be a new World Showcase hot spot.Gusto takes over the former lobby space of Tutto Italia and extends back toward Via Napoli. The 96-seat Tutto Gusto will be a more intimate space, with décor inspired by an Italian wine cellar with stone walls and floors, and vaulted ceilings and a fireplace in the dining room. Hours will be 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.The chefs have created a small-plate menu that takes guests on a fabulous culinary tour of Italy. There are six sections and all sorts of wonderful tastes: Affettati (cured, sliced meats); Formaggi (Italian cheeses); Panini (sandwiches); Piccoli Piatti (small plates); Cavatappi (a type of pasta), and Dolci (sweets).With more than two dozen small plates with everything from a taste of prosciutto de Parma to creamy burrata cheese and mussels with white wine, we can’t wait for a taste. The pasta dishes all are made with cavatappi, a corkscrew-shaped pasta, and include three versions: tomato and bufala mozzarella; shrimp, chilis, garlic and tomato; and arugula, potato, pancetta, tomatoes and asiago cheese. Classic Italian!More than 200 Italian wines, including sparkling, reds and whites, and beers such as La Rossa, Moretti and Menabrea will be offered. Grappas – a distilled drink made from what remains of grapes after they have been pressed for winemaking – will be another specialty, or just sip an espresso or cappuccino.Tutto Gusto is part of the Disney Dining Plan.http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2012/04/first-look-at-new-tutto-gusto-wine-cellar-in-italy-at-epcot/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 I'm glad that it's not really a wine cellar. I hate eating under water. Basements aren't too popular in Florida.I'll be trying that place for sure. Italian food is my favorite. And red wine, nothing better with good Italian food. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 My mouth is watering. Who wants to watch my kids while INC and I spend some time in that place? We'd be gone 3 or 4 days, tops. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
