"Maria & Enzo's The surprises at this excellent Italian restaurant in Disney Springs start right when you arrive and gaze upon the airy dining room. Complete with 50-foot-high ceilings, a grand staircase, and sweeping views over Lake Buena Vista, it's themed after an abandoned airline terminal, with lots of fun travel touches that include a vintage-style glove dangling like a giant chandelier overhead. Chef Theo Schoenegger is a native of Italy , and his menu spotlights specialties from Rome and Sicily. Delicious Italian cheeses and cured meats are perfect starters for sharing. And signature dishes include Sicilian arancini di carne (rice balls with meat) and a spiral pasta dish topped with crab called busiate con granchio . Italian red, white, and Prosecco wines star on the well-informed wine list. And don't miss a plate of cannoli to share for a sweet finish."

Lovely background of Disney Springs overlooking the water. The decor was cute and went well with the theme. Our server was amazing! The food on the other hand was just okay. For the price I paid, I expected a tastier Parmesan chicken. The noodles were overcooked. I just wished the food would had matched the ambiance.

I really liked the service, they were really friendly with us and it made everything better. The restaurant has a 1940’s airport vibe which you will notice as soon as you walk in. The food was good, nothing special but it was perfect for a nice lunch in Disney Springs. We had the calamari, the burrata, the chicken parm panini, and we ordered two different types of pasta which I don’t remember the name to. My mol did mention they should put a little more meat in the bolognese. But once again it was a great experience with great service.

We had a really nice experience during our dinner at the restaurant. As Italians we weren’t really looking to eat in an Italian restaurant but we had a coupon to use there so we got to taste some of the menu item. I would suggest everything we ordered, I would just mention that the caesar salad had a particular taste that wasn’t for me, given by, I think, the grated cheese they used. Our Server Gina was nice with us and all the food was timed perfectly. If I had to find something that didn’t convinced me I would say the location, the whole airport-like aesthetic didn’t give me the impression we were eating in an elegant italian trattoria.

Good Italian food in my opinion good service and beautiful view. We got a table next to the tree on the middle of the dining room (chairs were a little bit worn out and a plate was chipped ) Family of 6 with everyone ordering different items we enjoy the food great taste and ok portions, A bit expensive… yes! but you are in Disney Springs. Great service and Fried calamari was delicious.

I absolutely adore the atmosphere. It says 1930s airline terminal but I was expecting the Great Gatsby to walk out of a corner with a gin cocktail for me to drink... 1920s, I know, but that's the way it made me feel... also, I was wondering when Indiana Jones was going to swing through the room, momentarily interrupting my delicious meal with one of his adventures... ...it didn't happen though... maybe next time... Until then, shout out to Victor, who greeted me warmly at the door even though it was FREEZING outside (I don't know how you do it, man) & James, my server, that treated me like a VIP (even though we all knew - I wasn't). Now, to the food! Amazing! Thank you for the delicious meal. It wasn't my mom's meatballs but they came close. (I have to say that, she might read this...) And for the record, I will NEVER eat your lasagna, it could NEVER be as good as my mom's... (love you, Mom). But maybe... one day... in a drunken stupor... I might nibble some off of someone else's plate... & share my opinion at that time... oh, and the Bolognese was spot on - so tasty!

My wife and I had an amazing experience thanks to Joseph! He went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable dining experience, even with our dietary restrictions. From the moment we were seated, he was attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly thoughtful. He took the time to understand our preferences and guided us toward delicious selections that perfectly suited our needs. His recommendations were spot on, and his warm, professional demeanor made us feel truly taken care of. Joseph’s service turned a great evening into an exceptional one and we couldn’t have asked for better. Highly recommend!

We have been coming to Disney Springs for a very long time, and we have always wanted to come here and have dinner, and we finally did on Thanksgiving day. The appetizers were a 5 out 10, it was not what we expected; the place had no energy, and it felt like a retired home; the service was not good, including our server, Taylor; she took forever to serve us and to follow up with our food and drinks. The chicken parm dinner that my son had was horrible he gave me a piece and I had to spit it out, the chicken tasted terrible, and it looked old. The server did take it off the tab, but NO MANAGER came by to apologize or ask about it. I WOULD NOT recommend this place to anyone, even if they were serving food for free—a sad Thanksgiving day for us.

We came to Maria & Enzo’s for the Animated Dining experience after watching Drawn to Life. The food was delicious and our server, Joseph was amazing! The restaurant was decorated beautifully! We had three appetizers and they were all delicious! My favorite was the Burrata Caprese. The chicken parmigiana is a HUGE plate so we had to box one to go! The Quattro Cannoli was devine! We came hungry and left full with more to eat later! Thank you Joseph for making our experience that much more magical!

It was good but a bit pricey. Service was pretty slow especially when there's barely anyone there. Some people had their food before us and sat down after us. But your server was super sweet and nice.

Good service as everywhere in Disney but I expected a much better flavor. I seriously feel this was canned food. My wife got the chicken parm pasta and the chicken had no flavor. I got the 3 meat pasta and it was below meh. Kids enjoyed the kids menus because it came with ice cream. It's an expensive low end fancy diner in my opinion. The menu was a good hint but I've been wrong in the past so gave it a try. $35 buck for canned past..... yeah, I was VERY disappointed.

In town for a race weekend and looking to carb up. Maria & Enzo's was amazing. Best service from Emmanuel who was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere is a 1940's airport lounge but in a god way. Lots of interesting decor. The cannelloni had breadcrumbs on top and gave the dish a wonderful texture. Putting toasted breadcrumbs on all my pasta now. You can add chicken or meatballs or keep it vegetarian. Hubby loved the spaghetti and meatballs and the focaccia with whipped ricotta was so good we ordered two.

This place was huge!!! The staff were all so kind and helpful but especially our waitress (Melia? I totally forgot her name) was super sweet. We didnt knkw the portions sizes were big and we could have shared it. The food was pretty good. I gave this a 5star because they seated us within a few minutes of arrival and we were so hungry!

Cousins picked the place. I've never been. It's a surprisingly beautiful dining experience. Great ambiance , very special. Excellent service. However the food was just okay. The brioche was very tasty, didn't care for the cream spread accompanying it (personal taste). The Caesar salad was large enough to share, maybe a little too generous with the dressing. The chicken parm which was recommended was just okay. Not much on taste at all. Red Sauce is very bland. Would I go again, maybe for the ambiance and special feeling and treatment one gets walking in.

Its design is images of airport destinations all over the world. Mostly tables, upstairs (main entrance level) and downstairs. Stairs and elevators. Food is Italian and good. Though I do wish they had a better sauce. A serving is more than fulfilling. The staff is very attentive and helpful. Rest rooms on both levels. Also rooms for larger groups. It's Disney resort prices, so expect higher than normal.

If you're looking for an exceptional Italian dining experience at Disney, this is the place to go! The flavors are absolutely authentic, with every dish prepared to perfection. From the fresh pasta to the rich sauces, each bite transports you to Italy. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it perfect for both a family dinner and a romantic evening. The service is top-notch, with attentive staff who make you feel right at home. Hands down, the best Italian meal you'll find at Disney!

Food was delicious. The pasta was perfectly al dente. Charcuterie board was alright, wasn't the biggest fan of the cheese selection. Service was very friendly and relatively quick. Ambiance was lovely. I loved the travel theme!

We've had wonderful meals here in the past, but this visit was just ok. I was excited to try the beef short ribs. The beef was perfectly cooked, not fatty, and fell apart with a fork. The sauce on top didn't have much flavor, nor did the polenta. The carrots, while beautiful, were almost raw and needed to be cooked longer for this type of dish. Their pizza is outstanding, as was the focaccia The waitress we had was very efficient, and helpful without being overbearing. The restaurant was crowded but we got our food and drinks quickly and didn't feel rushed out. They were very accommodating about to do cups for things for the kids as well The space is impressive and there is a great view of the lake. Overall I would recommend it.

Ambiance - The main dining room is huge and the tables are fairly close to one another. This made for a fairly noisy dining experience. Service - Very Good. Our server was friendly and attentive. Food - Disappointing. I ordered the caprese salad and the spaghetti bolognese. The cheese was burrata and it was creamy. The tomatoes were cherry tomatoes, which is OK but not my favorite. The bolognese was just OK. In fact it is pretty bland. There was so little sauce and meat that it was on the dry side. Overall Value - Average. The entree prices in Disney Springs are above average for the area and I would expect a higher quality of food for the prices.

If you're at Disney springs and need a sit down meal, Maria & Enzo's is not a bad choice. We went at lunch and were one of the first 5 guests seated. I did enjoy the atmosphere but it was quiet. I'm not sure how it would have been once the space was full. My meal was portioned well and my drink was made well. It wasn't super flashy or the best Italian meal I have had ever but I wasn't disappointed and our server was nice. The lunch menu isn't very big and I do want to try the brunch menu but they only serve that on weekends. We will go back to try that at some point!

We went on a whim during our most recent Disney vacation, and decided not to make a reservation for Saturday dinner (do not recommend)! Fortunately we were early enough that Maria and Enzo's was accepting walk ups. When we sat down, the restaurant was half full, but definitely filled up before we left. Service was excellent, our waiter provided recommendations. Everything we tried was delicious. My husband had the short rib, which was so flavorful and tender. I had the cannelloni which was to die for the sauce was perfect, and it was so cheesy and delicious. Loved the decor and vibe, very classy, neat, and fun!

We stopped at Springs to shop and stuff our faces after we dropped off our luggage at our resort. This was a Saturday and around noon or 1 and Springs was packed. We opted for Maria & Enzo's because it looked like they could accommodate us. But there were no tables available inside, so we had to eat at one of the outside tables. Sun blazed on us. I wish there were more inside seating or at least more shade/umbrellas and perhaps some fans outside. I had a pizza. Maybe it was the margherita? My photos will reveal this. My companion ordered some kind of a meat pizza. The slices are HUGE. The size of 2 Sbarro slices. As big as your head. Price matches that, but you expect that at Disney, or you should. Would be a good place to take people, including kids, for fun photos. We finished our pizza and then I went inside again to get an Italian ice pop or whatever Maria & Enzo's was calling their frozen fruit bars on sticks. I think I got strawberry. Or strawberry lemonade. I don't recall. Ugh. Well, it was yummy. I think it cost $5. I'd return, but only if I wanted someplace quick. And it's taken a bit of effort not to refer to this as Max & Erma's.

Only a 5 minute walk up for 2 with no reservation on a busy Sunday night. This was our first visit here. I liked the travel theme of the restaurant and the staff was very friendly. I had ordered a shrimp Caesar salad and a mocktail. They were alright. I would try something else next time. My friend had ordered calamari and one of the pasta dishes, but the pasta portion was very small.

We decided to go to Disney Springs and made reservations at this restaurant. It was my husband and I and my son and his wife. They were visiting from Georgia where he is based in the Army. The ambiance was cool but way different then I thought for an Italian restaurant. Our server, Roberta was nice and very prompt and attentive. I gave the place only 3 stars because the food does not taste authentic and is way way overpriced! I understand that everything is overpriced at Disney but this was ridiculous. I thought the food would be very authentic Italian but it's not. You can get frozen food that tastes the same. It's not served with bread so we paid $19 for bread. The portions are not very big either. We set out to have a nice evening and we did not let our disappointment in the dinner ruin our evening but I would not suggest this restaurant to anyone.

Walked right in and sat down with a party of three on a Wednesday evening when everywhere else in Disney Springs was the typical 1 hour wait. Got the Cannelloni stuffed with spinach and cheese. It was delicious! Service was top notch. I wasn't surprised as this is typical for a restaurant in Disney Springs. Never had a bad experience anywhere here. Pro tip: after eating at Enzo's, grab an after dinner drink at The Edison

I'm giving this place 2 stars because the waitress was nice and the Rucola salad was really good but will not be back. The ravioli wasn't good at all. It was overstuffed and the sauce was disgusting. The saving grace was our waitress and the salad. There were 7 of us and the only person who enjoyed their food got the Rigatoni. The kept bringing food and drinks that weren't for our table and also gave us a Caesar salad with no dressing that we had to reorder. The decor is ok and chairs were pretty comfortable but it didn't feel like an Italian restaurant. Cheap buffet quality food.

Visited Maria and Enzo's solo for a work trip. The dining room is beautiful, but there are only four tops and no bar so it was a tough one to eat alone at. My server had good recommendations and happily brought out extra chili for the pasta I got. Overall the meal was pretty standard. The sauce didn't have much of a kick and I wish there were more veggies mixed into the pasta. The view is beautiful but the food was pretty mid for the price.

I am Italian food lover, and although we have been to Disney Springs numerous times, this was my first time here. The atmosphere is interesting, but also very loud. With the room as big as it is, the acoustics are horrible. As with most restaurants in Disney, the choices are extremely limited. Our server was super nice and helpful. He even took time to explain the theme is the restaurant when I asked. I started with a glass of Pinot Noir, which I enjoyed. I ordered the rigatoni bolognese as my entree with the focaccia bread appetizer. The bread arrived nice and warm, and was extremely good. The rigatoni then arrived, and it was not a bolognese sauce. I would have needed a magnifying glass to find any beef. That was super disappointing. The food was nice and hot, which I love, but Al Dente was putting it mildly. I had to finely chew every noodle. Not what I was anticipating, or enjoyed.

December 16, 2023 - I definitely thought this restaurant was bigger than it really is. From the outside, it looks huge. But when you walk in, you're directed downstairs. The restaurant has tall ceilings versus being two stories and it was beautiful. My friend and I sat by the window. Unfortunately, we went at night so we weren't able to look out the window, but I am sure if you go during the day, you would have a beautiful view of the lake. My friend and I ordered the Prosciutto e Melone for an appetizer and this was the first time I ever had this combination and it did not disappoint. My friend and I are two peas in the pod and were eyeing the same meals - Rigatoni alla Bolognese and the Costina Di Manzo. We ordered both and asked for an additional plate to split the meals. Luckily, they didn't charge us to share meals like other restaurants do. The Bolognese was one of the best I've had and you can just taste it's freshness. The short rib (Costina Di Mando) came over some polenta which was rich in taste, soft, and creamy. We didn't order any desserts even though we were eyeing the Cannoli. Would love to go again during the day and sit by the window.

Service was excellent. Had our reservation correctly. Also, we had to call because we were running late because of traffic. They had no problems! Food fine. Appetizers very good! Entrees were very good. But they lose a star because side veggies were undercooked. They don't take the time to prepare the veggies. You may ask to have your veggies cooked through!

I went here recently with a group from work. First, the positives. The appetizers were good- everyone liked the meatball and burrata. It was also nice that our server was from Italy, so I gave more credence to her recommendations. The wine and dessert were the best parts of the meal. The restroom was terrible. Not cleaned, under supplied with a strong smell. MY entrée was also very bland. Every single pasta dish had some form of tomato in it which I found to be silly and odd.

We celebrated my cousin and her baby girl Saturday for lunch. The food was fantastic! Everyone at the table said how delicious their dishes were. The service was good but could have been better. He gave the wrong drink to the wrong person twice one of those 2 people was mama to be. And he seemed to always be in a hurry to do something when it wasn't even busy. The place is beautiful and a lovely view of the hot air balloon ride they have at Disney springs too!

It has been years since I have dined at Maria & Enzo's but it was well worth the wait! Currently the holiday decor has been put up but even without it the whole airport/traveling theme was well designed throughout the restaurant. When your reservation is called there are several travel agents that take you from the main terminal/waiting area to the stairs then you are seated in the main dining room. There is no complementary bread however I highly recommend ordering the FOCACCIA DELLA CASA. The fresh lemon herb flavor from the bread hits you right away. It was super soft and moist and the ricotta served on the side complemented it beautifully. It was light and refreshing with lemon infused oil, salt, and pepper on top. My mother ordered the RED WINE FLIGHT and loved it. We also ordered the CALAMARI FRITTI, to preface I just recently started eating calamari but even so it was very basic with no seasoning and was extremely chewy. For my main I ordered the COSTINA DI MANZO which was divine. The short rib was dense but tender as was the onion and fell apart easily under that super flavorful sauce. The polenta was perfectly smooth my only wish was for the carrots to be cooked longer but that's just a preference. My mother had the RIGATONI ALLA BOLOGNESE which I sampled and the pasta was Al dente with a fantastic meat sauce. If you're in the Disney Springs and are craving Italian cuisine I highly recommend Maria & Enzo's! Great food & atmosphere!

The place is huge, with a large downstairs area for seating. It's got large paintings from all around the world with a large central globe as its centerpiece. We walked in with 3 large parties, which they were able to squeeze into 2 tables but then also hit us with that 18% gratuity for large groups. We had our tables set up, but all the high chairs were sticky. Luckily, we had our lysol wipes to clean them off. We got the kids' meals with the cheese pizza. They give a large side of fruits but only 3 mozzarella sticks. If you ask for apple juice, it will be in a juice box, but the lemonade comes in a large side cup. The cheese pizzas are a decent size and NY style. The kids did enjoy it. I ordered the burrata appetizer, which was good and made on a large bed of grape tomatoes. We got the white sangria pitcher. The nice part is that you can take it to go and walk around Disney spring. But don't expect a buzz. It was really, really watered down. I paired it with the chicken parm, which was a large portion. It is placed on top of red sauce penne pasta. It was way too salty. The ice cream sorbet wasn't bad, and the kids ate it up. The only silver lining was the service. We were given lots of options and were waited on quickly since we had a shuttle to catch. It's way too overpriced for boring and bland food I can make in my own kitchen.

I'm a sucker for homemade pasta. M&E makes all of their pasta in house and it is delicious. But first, the atmosphere! M&E is supposed to be an "airport" and you walk in to that beautiful dining room on the 2nd floor. Really cool but not really an airport per se. But a huge place and well decorated. The music is a mix of Italian, tropical, European, etc. They are really pushing the idea of an adventure and not a straight up Italian restaurant. That being said, it's an Italian restaurant. Kind of an odd concept overall. Ok, back to the food. First everything at Disney is 25% too expensive so taking that into account, my $30 carbonara was definitely worth $23 at a normal restaurant. It was very tasty with good pancetta and a nice cream sauce. The raviolis were perfect. Chicken cutlet was perfectly cooked. And look at that focaccia bread with whipped ricotta. Yeah, that was great. Service of course was perfect as always at Disney. So is M&E worth it? Definitely. A bit pricy for not-upscale Italian but it's Disney. They're going to get all your money anyway so might as well enjoy a good meal.

Tonight we made reservations at Maria & Enzo's Ristorante located at Disney Springs. This is such a cool place as there is much more than meets the eye at first glance... let's get into it. The restaurant is hidden behind closed doors when you walk in. It's made to look like a an Airport Terminal of old. Once the doors open it is like another World. We started out with the Insalata Della Casa consisting of Mixed organic greens, cucumbers, pickled peppers, tomatoes, olives, ricotta salata, for $14. This is a great salad. All of the ingredients are fresh and delicious. We also tried the Polpette which is Classic braised meatballs, whipped ricotta, parmigiano cheese for $19. These were show stoppers, they were absolutely delicious and I highly recommended them. For dinner my Wife had the Torchio Alla Verdure consisting of twisted bell shaped pasta, asparagus, cipollini onion, cherry tomatoes, parmigiano, basil, Calabrian chili, toasted bread crumbs for $29. Fantastic dish. I had the Rigatoni Alla Bolognese consisting of house made mezzi rigatoni, pork beef and veal ragu', whipped ricotta, parsley, extra virgin olive oil for $30. The rigatoni was cooked to a perfect Al dente, just the way I like it. The sauce was fresh and everything was delicious. Our server Rae was very attentive without hovering. Our water glasses never got below half a tank and we never wanted for anything. Fantastic service made our experience very special. If you're looking for a unique experience with fantastic food, check out Maria & Enzo's, you will be amazed, MANGA!

My colleagues and I eat here often when visiting Orlando for meetings and we've always been satisfied with the meal. The service is usually hit or miss at this location, but the meatballs and focaccia appetizer are our favorites! The atmosphere is better in the Enzo's hideaway restaurant below ground but that is usually more difficult to get into for dinner. This location located upstairs is a great choice as well!

The Eggs Benedetto consisted of 3 hard boiled eggs (think Easter vs. poached as on the menu), atop of a pound of prosciutto on a dry piece of toast!

We had yet to try Maria & Enzo's Ristorante despite being to most every restaurant at Disney Springs at least once. (I had even been to Enzo's Hideaway Tunnel Bar once, but not their regular restaurant.) We finally went on a Sunday night to meet out-of-town friends there. First off, the interior is super impressive. It's truly amazing when you walk into the main dining room and overlook the entire restaurant and peer out the windows to the lake. Then you descend the long, grand staircase to the tables. We were even seated under the interior tree, making the ambiance even more special. Our server (Alex?) was super friendly, informative, and attentive. The menu seemed quite limited for an Italian restaurant. I'm used to going to local Italian restaurants where the selections go on and on and on. The handful of entrees that they offered didn't come with Italian bread, salad, etc. either. If you wanted any of those, you had to order them separately. Being on Disney property, I wasn't surprised...just disappointed. For our party of six, we ordered two orders of the Focaccia Della Casa -- focaccia with whipped ricotta/olive oil dip. It was spectacular. But really should come with the over-priced meals. I ordered the Cannelloni al Quattro Formaggi - three cannelloni tube pasta stuffed with cheeses and spinach. Again, an accompanying small salad would have been nice. If you wanted a salad, it was like $15; not even a small side salad option. The cannelloni was good, but the sauce was just average. I think they're afraid to spice it up to appeal to patrons with boring taste buds. It was a reddish-orange color and very smooth. I didn't see any hint of oregano, basil, etc. It was fine, but nothing I'd crave in the future. When they came around to offer cheese for the dishes, it wasn't even freshly grated. It was spooned out, like the kind you'd buy in the shaker at the grocery store. Most local Italian places have real Parmesan to grate onto your dishes. And, sadly, no red pepper flakes on the table or offered either. It's a spice thing, I guess. My partner ordered the chicken parm and it just looked average as well. Not very impressive in presentation or probably taste. We did end up ordering desserts, though. First I thought I'd go with the mini cannolis to share, but then we decided to share the Dark Chocolate Budino instead for something different. I have to admit that I had to look up "budino" to see what it was. It said it was like a custard or pudding. I thought that would be interesting. It came as a mini cake, almost like a molten lava cake, but not molten, with a side of vanilla gelato. It wasn't what I was expecting, but it was deliciously chocolatety and oh-so-rich nonetheless. So, service was great. The atmosphere and decor were beautiful and a sight to see. The bread you have to order separately was delicious and as impressive as all their dishes should be. Dessert was fabulous. But the entrees and sauce were just so-so. So maybe it's just a place for apps and dessert? Coming from an Italian family, I expected more.

Servicer was horrible! Food was mediocre, at best. Place was very clean, food came out in a decent amount of time.

If you are looking for run of the mill Italian food that has a nice presentation then look no further. The service was just ok. It definitely gave high school girls that talk behind your back vibes. The hostess stand downstairs was an area for the hosts to watch you walk down the stairs and judge. We started with the burrata and charcuterie plate. The burrata wasn't as creamy as it should be and slightly flavorless. It was surround by cut grape tomatoes. Our dinner entrees were ok. I felt like everything tasted the same. Would I eat here again, probably not. It was a little overpriced for the quality.

I've been here twice for brunch only and both times have been absolutely amazing!! The service, the food, THE FOOD have been amazing! We've always come when the restaurant opens and by the time we're done eating and leaving is when it starts to pick up and get busy. But your service is never compromised. The staff is attentive and very friendly. The food is all good, you won't get something that you won't like. Pricing is a little higher here, but the quality of the food is worth it! If you're wanting Italian food, highly recommend coming here!

It was a tasty slice. Very pricey for it with drinks but it is mouseville, so there's that.

It's a restaurant with good energy and the food is good but not extraordinary. Kind and helpful waiters. I particularly found the portions small for the price.

My friend and I were walking around Disney Springs in the summer heat and decided to stop at Maria & Enzo's because we saw a delicious looking steak pictured on their menu out front. The wait time was short and we were sat promptly at a table in the center of the foyer. I didn't realize how large the restaurant was! It looks small from the outside and then opens up into a huge ballroom-like space. My steak was amazing. Highly recommend asking for the potatoes well done. My friend ordered the steak medium and it came out over cooked, but with some courage she asked for a new steak and they were happy to oblige her. Our server was great. The manager came out to check on the steak. Definitely would come back for that steak.

First time visiting Disney Springs, and we were starving! We were craving Italian food and as we were walking, we came across Maria and Enzo's. We asked to be seated but I was a tad bit confused because I did not see any tables or chairs at the host desk. Wow, I don't know why but the way we entered and how the hostess just randomly opened a door that I didn't even notice was cool! Such a beautiful restaurant and well-decorated! We ate during lunchtime on a Thursday- so it was not busy. We sat next to the big Christmas tree which was very delightful. It was very entertaining to watch people riding 1950's car boats in the water! I found it every entertaining. Food: There is complimentary bread with oil and balsamic vinaigrette! My oh the bread was so fresh that I had to force myself to stop eating because I did not want to get too full before the main dish arrived. Appetizer- We ordered the bruschetta with fresh mozzarella with olive oil and tomatoes with fresh bread was by far my favorite dish! We had ordered two kinds of pasta (which I had forgotten the name of but I posted pictures). Overall: A great place to dine when you are at Disney Spring! Highly recommend.

I went here May 23 2023. First thing I want to say is that I really enjoyed the staff and the service at Maria & Enzo's. I wish I remembered our servers name to ensure they get kudos for how great they were! The ambiance of the place was very nice and quiet when I had my meal. It could've been a slow day but nevertheless the service didn't waver. They had accommodations for wheelchairs as well if that's something you need to worry about, they are extremely helpful and inclusive. Onto the food! The food and drinks were delicious. I get skeptical eating at restaurants in such high volume places like at Disney Springs but the food was good. For our appetizers we ordered Prosciutto E Melone, Calamari, and Burrata Caprese. I never had the prosciutto e melone but I really enjoyed the balance of flavors! The calamari melted in my mouth and the burrata was your typical burrata but the focaccia bread was very delicious. The entrees that I was able to taste were ravioli formaggi and costina di manzo. The ravioli was tasty but the beef short rib? It was so tender and delicious. The Costina Di Manzo was the highlight of our meal, I could sit there and eat it forever. The dessert we tasted was the tiramisu and the dark chocolate budino. I preferred the budino as the tiramisu was not authentic and it could be improved. Overall a solid choice for a meal!

We recently moved back to Orlando and we spend a great deal of time on Disney property either at the parks or Disney Springs. We love to explore new restaurants and had high hopes for Maria and Enzo's. Let's start with the food. It was mediocre at best. My husband had the chicken parmigiana, one of his absolute favorite Italian dishes. Quite frankly, we have had better at chain Italian restaurants. The chicken was tender yet everything lacked flavor. The tomato sauce tasted like they opened a can of crushed tomatoes and failed to use seasoning or put the effort into a proper sauce. I had the seasonal special which was the Shrimp risotto. On the menu, this dish is described as a harmony of Italian and local Florida flavors captured in a dish with fine Italian vialone nano rice, succulent key west pink shrimp, rich guanciale, sweet corn, herbs and pecorino romano. I love shrimp, I love risotto. I did not love this. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and this was the only saving grace. The risotto, as with the parmigiana, lacked flavor and the combination of flavors in the dish were confusing. The corn added nothing to the dish. The risotto lacked flavor except for a saltiness that overwhelmed. I ate the 6 shrimp and a few bites of risotto and gave up. Now, let's talk service. Again, mediocrity at its best. We checked in at the counter and we were promptly called for our table. The initial greeter/seater spoke very little and gave no direction other than to point us down the stairs. When we reached the bottom of the stairs, with as few words as possible, a woman indicated we should follow her. We walked and then she stopped and didn't say anything. She was standing between two tables and I had to ask which we should take. Then she pointed to our table and walked away. Then I sat in a wet chair. Our waitress came, took our order and was okay. Nothing overwhelmingly negative or positive except again, she didn't speak much or engage other than minimum order taking and delivery. The ambiance showed promise, it has a lovely view, but this point is overshadowed by the issues. Will we go back? Doubtful. With all the other amazing restaurants on property and in surrounding areas, why would we? We visited this location on 7/5/23.

Food and service was good, but also had a Tito's bloody Mary. The bloody had 2 charges on the bill, $18 for the Titos, and $5 for the bloody Mary for a total of $23. I have never seen this before and was given some crazy explanation which made no sense. Crazy...​

We joined the line for a late night meal Enzo's at Disney Springs in Orlando following a concert at House of Blue's. This truly a culinary gem that transports guests to the heart of Italy with its authentic flavors and charming atmosphere. Nestled in the vibrant Disney Springs, this Italian restaurant offers a delightful combination of traditional dishes, warm hospitality, and a touch of elegance. The menu at Enzo's is a celebration of Italian cuisine - we had salads and the wood-fired pizza, which was wonderful! The ingredients are fresh, the flavors are rich, and the presentation is artful, creating a truly memorable dining experience. One consideration is that Enzo's can be popular and busy, especially during peak dining hours. Making a reservation in advance is recommended to secure a table and ensure a seamless dining experience. No pictures because we gobbled up our food so quickly!

Yummy food and great service. Ambiance is really cool as it is themed like a retro Italian airport terminal. If you make a reservation I would request by a window!
