Maria and Enzo’s Ristorante is a southern Italian inspired table service restaurant located in the The Landing at Disney Springs. It is open daily for lunch from 11:30AM to 3:30PM and dinner from 4:00 to 10:00PM. Brunch is offered on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:30AM to 3:30 PM. When the Disney Dining Plan is available this meal is one table service credit.
This restaurant has transformed an abandoned airline terminal into an airy, vivacious establishment including 50-foot high ceilings, a grand staircase, and floor to ceiling views of Lake Buena Vista. The dining room is wide open with seating available at both tables and booths on both levels of the restaurant. A colorful mural of travel destinations encircles the entire area. A metallic globe anchors the space from above.
This restaurant boasts a mouthwatering but not overwhelmingly large menu with a variety of family-friendly options. Handcrafted pastas, salads, and richly flavored steaks are all offered along with complimentary bread. Maria and Enzo’s also offers an extensive wine list along with drinks including daily flights, which is very clever.
I visited Maria and Enzo’s on Valentine’s Day a few years ago with my wife and two boys. My wife had three Valentines that day and we all had a wonderful experience. When we first arrived, the hostess gave both of my sons aviator pins which they immediately put on and led us to one of the booths on the first floor. For an appetizer, we ordered the Caciocavallo Fritto (not currently on the menu) which hit the spot! I’m a fan of an appetizer that is going to still allow me to enjoy eating most of my main entree, and these were perfect. For an entree, my wife went with the Linguini and Chicken, while I went with the classic Chicken Parmigiana (neither of these entrees are currently available). Both portions were large and delicious. It is kind of hard to go wrong with this combo of food choices, but you’d be surprised how many restaurants take these for granted and deliver less than satisfying meals. However, this was not the case at Maria & Enzo’s! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the flavors were spot on. My wife’s chicken was very moist and the linguini was al dente.
The pricing is what I would consider above average when it comes to Disney, which should be expected at a place such as this. Appetizers range from $13-17 while the entrees go from $20 all the way up to $45. Overall, I would recommend a visit to Mario and Enzo’s on your next Disney vacation.
