Trattoria al Forno

Trattoria al Forno at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort is hands down one of my favorite restaurants at Walt Disney World. I first went a little over a year ago for my graduation dinner with my family, and ever since then, I’ve been constantly going back. As soon as you walk in that restaurant, it smells so delicious like fresh pizza and Italian food. It’s just amazing! They also give you fresh rolls with a balsamic garlic oil with fresh garlic chunks in it! My family and siblings are very particular about their food, and they had absolutely nothing to complain about—which says a lot. In fact, every time they come back to Florida to visit me, we always end up coming here. It’s become a tradition at this point. Every time we visit, we’re usually seated in the back room and almost always have the same server—Fabiana. She is incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, and we genuinely look forward to seeing her every time we come in. She truly adds to the experience. Everything on the menu is fresh and made with care. The pasta is homemade, the gnocchi is homemade, and the sauces are all house-made—everything tastes absolutely perfect. If you love Italian food, this is a restaurant you cannot miss. Honestly, it’s even better than many of the Italian restaurants inside Epcot. It does get very busy, so I highly recommend making a reservation in advance, especially if you have a larger party. It makes the entire experience much smoother when you arrive. You truly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Their pizza is delicious, the arancini appetizer is a must-try, and the lasagna is out of this world. I’m not even a big lasagna person, and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. I personally always get the chicken parmesan—it’s consistently amazing and a huge hit every single time. I come here at least once a month and recommend it to everyone. Trattoria al Forno is an absolute must if you’re visiting Disney’s BoardWalk or Walt Disney World in general.

Written in September 2018: today, we mourn the end of our long relationship with Trattoria Al Forno. I pose the following question to the restaurant here: How many of you have been at Al Forno long enough to remember me and my girlfriend dang near moved to tears by your original offerings? During one trip, we ate at Al Forno nightly for three straight evenings and couldn't get enough. Sadly, over the last year, quality has declined well below the price point. What happened? Was it the departure of Chef Rumpler or manager Athena? The calamari now has a heavier breading, greasier and laden with heavy sauces. The lasagna was overcooked and bland; tasted like a thawed frozen meal from the supermarket. The Pasta alla Bolognese tasted like it came from a Chef Boyardee can. It did not help when our waitress kept walking away when we were still in conversation with her. She was not very attentive during the meal either, and unhelpful in making the evening any better. Overall, a general downward trend over the last 12 months. Silver lining: The olive oil is still good, let's see if they can manage to keep that going. The insalata caprese is also still a noteworthy dish ever since they brought back the heirloom tomatoes. How long before Al Forno screw those up? Let me know. And, to you people who offer some half-hearted response here to try and somehow woo us back, please, save your energy and focus elsewhere. We are done talking, no one at the restaurant has listened over the last 12 months, so there is nothing YOU can do to make things any better, don't fool yourselves. Updated on 25 December 2025: after a 7-year break, we decided to give Trattoria Al Forno a peek to see if anything has improved. Bottom line up front: none. We had a reservation for 6.10p, we arrived and checked in at 5.50p but was not seated until 6.20p. The waiter, Todd, did not show up until 6.32p. Todd from Natick MA, had zero personality and looked like he didn't want to live anymore. No smiles, no pleasantries, no soul, dead inside. Looked like we were an inconvenience to him. Maybe his dog died. He was also a touch bit creepy with my girlfriend. Simply added very little value to our experience that night. Manager: if someone is not in the mental state to elevate the guests' experience, send them home; they are doing more damage to the brand than the revenue is worth. Olive oil was stone cold and flooded with cheap garlic pieces. Burrito had tiny slivers of basil... what? Running low on basil leaves? Short ribs were dry. Not worth eating. The accompanying Pilanta was decent. Shrimp pasta was decent but nothing memorable. Shiny exception: Hostess Hailey from Birdsboro, PA was helpful, charming and sets the standard for everyone else. We continue to not return no matter what the social media people say below. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Trattoria al Forno has become one of my go-to dining spots at Disney’s BoardWalk, consistently delivering a warm atmosphere, quality Italian food, and dependable service. The rustic ambiance feels inviting, making it an ideal place to unwind after a day in the parks. The menu is well-crafted, and my favorites remain the pull-apart garlic bread, the oak-grilled strip steak, and the lasagna—each prepared with thoughtful seasoning and fresh ingredients. Portions are generous, and for a Disney restaurant, the pricing is notably reasonable. Across multiple visits, the staff has been friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, adding to the overall experience. Trattoria al Forno continues to be a reliable choice for satisfying Italian cuisine in a comfortable setting - definitely worth checking out! Thanks!

We had Breakfast at this restaurant before heading to Hollywood Studios. Great breakfast. I had the" two eggs your way" which included sausage, bacon, and bfast taters. Standard American fare done very well. My partner however had the "Al Forno Eggs" which she loved!! Like most places associated with Disney , the service was impeccable.

My partner & I were able to make a walk up reservation for a Sunday dinner around 7 pm & had to wait no longer than around 15-20 mins. Upon entry, we were greeted by Bruce, the host/seater. He was so pleasant & personable & made it feel like I was being seated by a family member. Justin was our server. He was nice, the restaurant was busy & he made sure he checked on us whenever at a table nearby as well. Now for the disappointing part…dinner. My partner had the chicken parm “parmigiana di pollo” & I opted for the shrimp pappardelle. While her chicken parm came out cold, & tasted as if it was sitting in the window for an extended period of time, mine was the exact opposite. My shrimp pappardelle came out piping hot, & unlike some of the other reviews, my shrimp was cooked to perfection. While she was none too pleased with her meal, she ate in silence (because she was so hungry) while I devoured mine (which albeit needed a little help in the flavor department, it was still good overall.) later, that proved to be a big mistake. I woke around 3 am running to the restroom & continued to run to and fro for the remainder of the next day (until midnight). I was struck with food poisoning. While trying to get in contact with someone in management to alert them of the issue, that proved nearly impossible as there is no direct line of communication to the restaurant. With that being said, eat at your own risk.

Came here to celebrate a birthday dinner - we’re passholders and have been to many Disney sit down restaurants at this point and I gotta say…Trattoria al Forno ranks near the top! The truffle gnocchi, plant based bolognese, lemon cake, and chocolate panna cotta were all stand-out dishes! (Sidenote we’ve been here for breakfast as well and it’s also pretty great)

Staying at the Swan & Dolphin resort and we were able to walk a short walk to the Boardwalk and dine. First time trying it here and we really enjoyed it! Our server Stine was super friendly and helpful! The arancini appetizer was delicious and so was the shrimp pappardelle and fresh pizza! Glad we made it here to try out! Thanks!

My first time. Went for breakfast with some friends. To be honest my expectations were not very high. I figured it would be a typical breakfast with a higher price tag because it's in the Disney "bubble". My socks were knocked of from the absolute beginning to the very last bite. We had the very last breakfast reservation (11:15). I ordered the Steak and Eggs with Potatoes....OMGooodness. there was not one morsel of food left on my plate. My friends equality enjoyed their food, especially the Breakfast Pizza. I CAN NOT wait to go back. Ohhhh and our server went above and beyond. We received special treats and a button since I was celebrating my birthday.

OMG, do not sleep on Trattoria al Forno at Disney's BoardWalk. It's a scratch kitchen, and it's the best pizza I've had on property to date. Every bite had depth of flavor and the exact right consistency. I also had a delicious cocktail with gin, cucumber, and elderflower! I stay at the Dolphin frequently, and I plan to stop at Trattoria as often as possible. The service was super friendly and attentive. I loved everything about this experience!

Returned here for bunch while my sister was in town visiting. Not sure if they had servers call out or if they are just understaffed, but they ran very behind in seating reservations and then our server seemed to run almost all the tables. All three of us dining ordered the steak and eggs. I love hollandaise sauce and since this came with it I was excited for the dish. Unfortunately when it came it maybe had a melted drizzle, but nothing noticeable. Unfortunately not a single person came by to ask how we were doing, if everything came out ok, etc. I kept trying to flag someone down but the manager was barely paying attention either, mostly just folding napkins and not helping the server who was obviously drowning. After 20+ minutes I finally was able to ask our server for more sauce and also a refill on my water that had been empty even before the food arrived. Taste wise, the food was ok - nothing special. Unfortunately the lack of service makes me not want to return here any time soon. The breakfast is also not memorable enough.

Trattoria is a very cozy and comfortable dining room set within the bustling Boardwalk Resort. The restaurant is centered around an open kitchen and namesake oven, from which I tried the Eggs al Forno with a spicy tomato sauce and polenta, served with rustic country toast. I love a shakshuka, and the addition of the sausage polenta made it a very filling and tasty dish. My tablemates enjoyed a breakfast pizza (with delicious crust as can be expected from a pizza-forward menu) and a veggie frittata with fruit. It's worth noting that your reservation will allow you to park at the Boardwalk, but you are now issued a temporary parking pass which cannot allow you to enjoy the theme parks afterward (as they used to allow). But, you can enjoy the other offerings at the Boardwalk.

We stopped at the Pizza window by the Boardwalk. The pizza is simple but very tasty! As a Chicagoan (now living in Central Florida) I can confirm that good pizza here is few and far between. This is very good!!

We've been a few times, but this was the first time just me and my wife, so we splurged a little bit I got the oak grilled steak and my wife got the shrimp papperdelle. Both were excellent! The steak flavor was exquisite especially for a strip steak and they cooked it PERFECTLY. Our server, Hollie, was amazing! She made the evening so much more enjoyable. It was a bit noisy, but that's to be expected for a Disney restaurant at dinner. We also tried the bruschetta. The tomato mixture on top had a bit of a funny flavor, so we just brushed that off and ate the crostini with fresh mozzarella and it was great that way.

We got a last minute reservation while in town, and so glad we came here, especially as a family with two young children. The restaurant is conveniently located on the Boardwalk, and there is indoor and outdoor seating options. Ambiance is nice and extremely family friendly, and the menu caters to all dietary restrictions. We highly enjoyed the pizzas (kids loved the margherita; my husband and I the seasonal veggie pizza). While my husband and I split the gnocchi, we could have probably done without it as it was a bit dense. Service was pretty good, and easily were in and out within an hour. Would recommend checking this out, especially if you're in the area with younger kids!

I love this spot at Disney's Boardwalk Resort. I have been here a couple of times and it never disappoints. We started off our dinner with an order of calamari and a caesar salad. Both were good and a great way to start off the night. We also got complimentary bread rolls with an olive oil and garlic spread. For entrees, my group got pizza, truffle gnocchi and the shrimp pappardelle. Everything was delicious. My go-to is always the shrimp pappardelle, I love the white wine-butter sauce with a touch of citrus. The portions are large too and fulfilling. We didn't save room for dessert, but if you do, the tiramisu is a great choice. Service here is phenomenal, our server took great care of us. The ambiance is cozy with dimmed lights. The kitchen has an open concept and you can see the kitchen crew in action. If you go to this restaurant you also get to enjoy the entertainment that happens during the evenings at the Boardwalk. Don't miss that.

Decided on Trattoria after a few recommendations from some people on their favorite Disney Resort restaurant. We were a little surprised as we were overdressed as I asked for date night recommendations. Definitely not upscale, more of a family style restaurant in line with, dare I say, Olive Garden. However, the food did not disappoint. We were sat quickly due to our reservation and greeted promptly. After ordering drinks, I ordered the pull apart bread appetizer. It arrived shortly with 3 dips, including olive oil, whipped ricotta, and a gremolata. Right after we received this bread an roasted garlic condit was delivered to the table. I wish our server told us bread would be delivered, I wouldn't have ordered a bread appetizer. Both bread services were delicious. Next up were the entrees. Truffle gnocchi and short rib dishes. Both dishes were full of flavor. The gnocchi had hints of garlic, parmesan, and truffle in the creamy sauce. The short rib came on a bed of polenta garnished with arugula in a red wine reduction. It was tender and delicious. No room for dessert this visit but the food was great! WWE will be back, but in a T-shirt and jeans.

Delicious food and fabulous service! Our waiter, I think it was Justin or Josh, he was awesome! We had no reservation but were able to get a table right at 5! We ordered and got our meals out quickly! It was a typical Italian restaurant but very clean and well kept! I will definitely be back when on the boardwalk! The pizza was so good and so was the gnocchi!

For my final day at Disney before heading home, I decided to grab breakfast at a sit-down restaurant and then head to Epcot for a bit. Since I was staying at the BoardWalk, I didn't want to travel far - especially since Epcot was right there. Nothing in the park was speaking to me, so I looked to the BoardWalk and thought I would give Trattoria al Forno a try. I had been here last for dinner over 10 years ago and wasn't a fan, but I wanted to give them another shot to see if their breakfast fared any better. That being said, I booked a table and off I went. Forno sits in prime real estate on the BoardWalk, right between AbracadaBar and the Boardwalk Deli. Walking in, the waiting area that housed the host stand was larger than I expected - they took my name and then led me to my table. The grandness continued in the main dining room - the space has high ceilings and large windows that let a lot of light in from the outside. The decor is Tuscan - think lots of browns with wrought iron accents, similar to the Tuscan kitchen craze that hit many homes in the early 2000s. All the while, there was somewhat loud, tacky Italian music playing which was mildly distracting and IMO a little too much for breakfast. The restaurant is sit-down table service, though they have a walk-up pizza window accessible from the BoardWalk if you're looking for something quick. The breakfast menu isn't large - a few egg options, a few specialty dishes, and some sides. I wanted something outside the standard breakfast fare, which I found in the Al Forno Eggs. This was a dish of roasted eggs, polenta, fennel sausage, and tomato sauce topped with three crostini-sized pieces of bread. The dish sounded better than it actually was - the flavor was kind of lacking and I found something off about the texture. I'm not sure if it was the combination of each component, but it just landed flat for me. Service was good, food came out at a good pace and my server was super friendly. My only issue here was Disney's strategy of placing diners at tables. When entering, I was led to a table that was right on top of another party that was already seated - while there were several empty tables in the vicinity. I understand placing diners in certain areas based on staffing, but it doesn't make sense to put me right on top of another occupied table in a section that is completely empty otherwise. This is the second time this happened to me on my trip, so I asked to be seated at another table which they accommodated. Overall, I'm not impressed with Trattoria al Forno. The service is the bright spot here, but the food falls flat and the aesthetics weren't anything to write home about. There are better places to check out.

This casual sit-down restaurant is located on Disney's Boardwalk. We were glad we made reservations as we arrived on a weeknight at 6pm and it was packed with a crowd of walk-ins waiting in the lobby. This is where to get some good Italian food, including pizza fired in their brick oven. We started off by ordering glasses of wine. I chose an Italian Super Tuscan, a Bordeaux & Sangiovese blend (Arcanum Il Fauno), which was excellent and a fantastic pairing with any pasta. We ordered olives as a starter. They were served warm in a bowl. I've never had warm olives (other than on pizza) but I think I'll prefer them that way from now on. Some bread rolls with some roasted garlic in olive oil to spread on them were also dropped off. Yum! For my entree I chose truffle gnocchi. The gnocchi were covered in parmesan, fontina cheese, and truffle cream. I filled up quickly on those delicious delights; I didn't have room for dessert! Our service was okay. Our waiter was slammed and probably not as attentive as either he or us wanted him to be.

We had an advanced reservation at Trattoria Al Forno, and shortly after we arrived, we were taken to our table. This restaurant is incredibly popular, and so there was no surprise that every table was occupied. This was our 3rd time visiting TaF. TaF restaurant has a "modern Italian" vibe and is a part of the offerings at Disney's BoardWalk. It is a short walk from the International Gateway entrance at EPCOT, so if you're visiting the park and want a break, this is a perfect option. Our server was super friendly and attentive. I only wish I had caught his name so I could mention it here. We started with bruschetta. It was nicely displayed, well seasoned, and a perfect amount for 2-3 people. I had the Shrimp Pappardelle. It was magnificent. The pasta was cooked al dente. The shrimp were nicely sized and perfectly cooked. The sauce? Lemony and creamy, and I wish I had the recipe. This dish was so well made and was a perfect portion. If you like shrimp, get it! I'm sure a 4th cast is in our future when we make it back to Walt Disney World.

I came here recently for breakfast for the first time in a little while. I will admit, it was not a great as I fondly remembered, but it was still a solid option for a great Disney breakfast. The iced coffee was just as delicious as I remembered! There is a pretty good variety of menu options on the menu, and my most recent visit I went for the basic eggs/bacon/sausage, which were very tasty but pretty basic. I remember loving the pancakes and the steak and eggs so much in the past, and I probably would have been more excited if I had went for one of these options -- my fault. The restaurant is pretty large, so for an early breakfast, you get some space to yourself. The service was not bad. Our server was very friendly and quick, but the hosts were not very friendly or communicative. Overall, a great option!

Excellent food and service! Just walking by the smells of garlic will lure you in! Definitely make Reservations. It's busy! The bread with cooked garlic olive oil and vinegar so flavorful And yummmy! Just make sure you save room For the pizza! Shrimp pasta perfect flavors with artichoke and capers! Next time I am Asking for extra artichokes! The caparese so full of flavor and the tomatoes actually have flavor! We had drinks at the bar next door while we waited. The entire area is beautiful inside and out. They also very attentive to food allergies. I am allergic to corn ugh! It's such a pain but they didn't make me feel like a pain about it! Definitely will be back!

Excellent Italian restaurant on the Disney Boardwalk. Everything that can be made in house is and WOW does it show. Bread service was phenomenal and our homemade gnocchi and lasagna were not 10/10. Our server was so knowledgeable and considerate and the atmosphere really feels like an local Italian joint on the boardwalk!

Food was great. The service was on the slower side. we sat down at 5:40pm before the rush. We waited 20 min before our server came to us asking what drinks we would like. The restaurant itself was hot and felt worse after walking in the heat at Epcot.

Good Italian food amd reasonable value (for a Disney Restaurant). Everything we had was good and Entrees were $31 - $36 (kids plate was $10.50). Calamari appetizer was $18.50. We had Cocktails at the Abracadabra Bar next door (highly recommend, great drinks!) So we just had water with Dinner. Waiter and service was very good. Restaurant was very nice (as with all Disney venues). I would recommend. See pics for food we ordered.

Over the course our stay in Disney, I went to Trattoria twice - once for breakfast and once for dinner and both were pretty good experiences! We had made reservations for breakfast at 8am on a weekday, but that was probably unnecessary as the restaurant was fairly empty at that time, but did get busier by the time we left. For breakfast, I got the caprese omelet which came with a side of potatoes and meat choice. I wanted to sub the meat with something else and my choices were either more potatoes or fruit. I got more potatoes and my friend got a side of the Mickey waffles, which we swapped. The omelet was okay. It was cooked well, but it was a bit flavorless. The mozzarella fit the caprese, but didn't add much to the taste and would have done better with goat cheese. At the least, it needed more salt. The potatoes were really good though and the Mickey waffles punched in with strong vanilla! When my husband and I went back for dinner, it was a last minute decision but we were able to snag a reservation about an hour before via the Disney app. We were seated outside looking out to the boardwalk and the lake quickly. Our server, Hope from DE, was fantastic - so kind, helpful, and personable! We started with a bruschetta with mozzarella (FYI - adding mozzarella adds $5 to the price of the app). After placing our order, we got served bread with a garlic confit in olive oil. If I had known how good the garlic was going to be, I may not have ordered bruschetta! The table bread was warm, soft, and good on its own, but the olive oil and garlic really took it to another level! The garlic was soft and spreadable and was slightly sweet and not pungent at all. The bruschetta was equally delicious - two long pieces of bread piled with a thick piece of mozzarella and tomato mix. I put some garlic on this too and it was great this way as well. I got a margherita pizza for dinner and my husband and I split Tiramisu for dessert. The pizza had a nice crispy, but slightly chewy, crust to it and the flavor of the pizza was perfect! I did add some Parmesan and chili flakes and dipped the crust in the oil and garlic (yes, I truly loved the garlic). The pizzas were a decent sized as well - I ate half and was very full! We had talked to Hope before ordering dessert how we wanted tiramisu, but were scared we wouldn't finish it and we were traveling back home the next day, so she brought us the tiramisu in a to-go container as well as some plastic silverware for traveling. This was SO sweet of her! Ultimately the to-go cup was not needed as we swiftly finished the dessert because it was very good! Overall a couple of really delicious meals here and would happily come back! And thank you again to Hope for taking excellent care of us!

This place is delicious when it comes to Italian food. This restaurant is located at The Boardwalk at DisneyWorld. The service was amazing, very tentative & I was always acknowledged by my name when he would approach me to take care of me. The ambiance was appropriate to the aesthetic of an Italian restaurant, the had the coal fire oven for pizza in the open for you to see. I ordered the chicken parm, delicious. If you're ever in the mood for Italian come here.

One of our favorite Disney restaurants is trattoria! Located at the Boardwalk, I highly suggest having a reservation. The open kitchen has a huge oven pizza in it and the pizza is great. I really like the calamari and I get it every time we come here. The steak is fantastic as well. Service is sometimes slow so just chill and know that it is a busy place. They accommodated an allergy for us as well. The restaurant is beautiful and outside are great views! Cheers!

Great ambiance but the food was served cold. The lasagne was mediocre. The beef short rib was delicious however that also was cold . Below Disney standards. If food is served cold someone isn't doing their job, lack of staff or lack of training. Brianne was lovely. Very attentive.

Pros: *this restaurant has significantly improved since they've reopened *amazing menu *fair pricing *delicious food *knowledgeable and friendly staff *very cautious with allergies *great location on Disney's Boardwalk *access to reservations via My Disney Experience app Cons: *reservation is usually recommended *parking can sometimes be difficult at Disney's Boardwalk

We were not only really pleased with our visit to Trattoria al Forno tonight, but extremely surprised! I was expecting it to be an average Italian restaurant but it was freaking delicious haha. I'd say the truffle gnocchi was the winner but the short rib was excellent too. I have no complaints about the gnocchi. But if I were to make an adjustment to the short rib, I would say it's a little too sweet. My sisters only complaint about the chicken parm is that it was okay but the sauce tasted like it was out of a can. Pretty standard chicken parm. The bread service is great!! They could've been a meal in itself honestly. Service was great as to be expected and the music is an instrumental take on all your Disney favorites. Some are orchestrated so well as to blend with the theme that you really have to listen hard to hear the notes that will reveal your favorite Disney song. We will definitely be coming back!

While on vacation in Orlando, it's always a pleasure to eat the the various disney restaurants. There are some hidden gems and some very average meals. Trattoria Al Forno was a place I was not familiar with, but glad that we tried. The prices were reasonable (for Disney property locations) and the food was very good. The Braised Short Ribs were probably my favorite, but I had the Oak-Grilled NY strip instead. I wish I had gotten the short ribs! Service was great, and had the Disney magic. Kids loved the food and service was at the right speed. It's a nice restaurant with a good setting that felt very comfortable. We had a large party of 8, and the table was a good size that fit everyone perfect. Lovely dinner and glad we gave it a try!

The ambience is warm, traditional Italian & the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. We were staying at the Boardwalk so stopped into TAF for breakfast. Little did we expect that we would get one of the best Disney breakfasts we have ever had. First, we got the iced coffee which was sweet, but not ultra sweet, and still managed to taste like coffee ice cream. What a treat! Second we got the pancakes, which were nice and thick, along with a delicious seasonal strawberry compote and nice crispy bacon. All were delicious. But the absolute star of the show was their breakfast pizza. I know something was extraordinary when I crave it long AFTER vacation. And I crave their breakfast pizza with meats, cheeses and spices (I also added a little tobasco). I highly recommend Trattoria Al Forno for an amazing Disney breakfast! We will be back.

Our favorite breakfast place on property! The service is always great and we love the ambiance. It's not the typical Mickey waffle style sit down breakfast. The steak and eggs, and the breakfast pizza are fantastic, and the tiramisu bread pudding is probably our favorite sweet treat in all of WDW. We also got the pressed pot of coffee and it was great. Afterwards we took what coffee we had left to go and strolled around the boardwalk. Makes for a perfect morning!

Came here three times on this visit. Our service was one of the main reasons we kept coming back ! (Besides the incredible food!!) cute cozy spot- elegant and casual at the same time. This visit we had breakfast - cleared our plates (again) we will be coming back soon that's for sure !

Good spot on Disney property for a casual, sit down dinner. Food was decent, but a little overpriced even for WDW. Great ambiance, perfect to celebrate a birthday or anniversary. Service was a bit slow but still good. I had the plant based Bolognese and really enjoyed it, and some great drinks as well.

Other reviews rave about the pizza, but to me , it was just okay, but it was also the most reasonably priced item on the dinner menu with leftovers to bring home.

We had such a wonderful dinner at Trattoria al Forno on the Disney Boardwalk! My husband went with the pizza and absolutely loved it, while I had the gnocchi. The gnocchi was so delicious--the dish was light and the sauce was rich and flavorful. Honestly, I wished I had more just so I could keep dipping the bread in it! I also tried the Tratto-Rita, a raspberry-flavored margarita-style drink, and it instantly became my new favorite cocktail at Disney. Refreshing, slightly sweet, and the perfect pairing with the meal. For dessert, we wanted a cannoli, which they only offer at the pick-up window outside. It was worth the extra step though--crispy shell, creamy filling, and the perfect ending to our meal. Between the atmosphere of the Boardwalk, the service, and the food, this is a spot I'd definitely recommend for a relaxing dinner during a Disney trip.

If it is busy (probably always!) Avoid. This place was a madhouse. Strollers everywhere, screaming children. Packed in tables. No ambience whatsoever. We had a reservation and we were seated 20 min after that. We were given water and a promise someone would return. 15 min later no bread. No server. We left. No way that was going to turn out well and would have regretted paying premium prices to be pissed off the whole time. The pizza window next door was also slow (for a pizza window) but was pretty good.

This is a very good restaurant at the Boardwalk in the heart of Walt Disney World. Great menu and a large selection of different dishes all from Italy. Very nice ambient and very helpful and nice service a little pricey, but we had a great time during dinner. It felt like we were in Italy. Of course it's Disney.

This restaurant was a pleasant surprise. Hope, our server, was super sweet and attentive. We ordered the lasagna and Margherita pizza, both were delicious, but the lasagna was divine. Tiramisu was good too. Pricing on wine was high imo.

Food, location and service is incredible. My family loves going here to eat. We then can walk the boardwalk. Beautiful atmosphere

Went for dinner with a group of 10. Had drinks in the bar while waiting for our table. The mussels appetizer was super tasty although very spicy! They brought warm bread before food came out which was nice. The shrimp pasta was excellent, lemon caper sauce and artichokes. Service was decent although we sat outside and the promised "heat lamps" were quite far away and didn't do the job.

Came in, the host took us in to the dining room and had to turn us back around to go sit in the lobby because our table was taken... that was ok,... When we did sit down the server was very nice, food came out very fast but it was ok. Unfortunately in the middle of our breakfast I came Across a very Rude, loud mouth Host named Bruce. My kid was not comfortable with him, when he was sarcastically asking my three year old questions. One time, He was walking by our table and I said to him "excuse me sir.. a couple times and when he turned around I said "hey, where is the bathroom" he told me where the bathroom was and then proceeded to tell me "I think you meant to say excuse me Sir, where is the bathroom.? not hey where is the bathroom"... I just looked at him in shock, I didn't know if he was joking or being serious. on the way to the bathroom my kid fall down and Bruce preceded to say something very mean and sarcastic (that's what you get) instead of asking us if we were ok smh ‍ MIND YOU.. my kid is innocent in Wtv beef hes loud mouth flamboyant self had with me... not a good experience with this one rude person. Totally ruined my experience at this restaurant. He should not be working at a hospitality restaurant. Needs to learn when to keep his mouth shut and how to speak to customers.

Soooooo good. Disney prices but really good food and splittable portions. Would come back.

The servers and hosts that i met here were so kind and warm - felt really nice to go on a morning stroll and pop in here. Strongly recommend the steak and eggs breakfast dish, although maybe order a little rarer than you would actually like it to come out.

What a great hidden treasure that not many know about unless they were looking specifically into Disney boardwalk restaurants. I came here for a birthday dinner with my husband and 2 kids. I liked how we were seated right in front of the kitchen and could see all the food being made (fire and all). The staff were very friendly and our waitress was patient with us as we looked at the menu. We ordered a kids cheese pizza and a Neapolitan pizza to share plus a couple of drinks. We told them that it was my birthday and the waitress brought out a cute little cake with dark chocolate. I highly recommend this restaurant as it is family friendly, nice staff, good food, and a great selection of drinks.

If you're staying on the Boardwalk and tired of the same deli offerings every morning, Trattoria al Forno was a great alternative. We did not have a reservation for breakfast and were appreciative that we were seated almost immediately. The restaurant has a beautiful Italian charm to it and an open kitchen where you can see their pizza oven. Our breakfast was wonderful, and our server was friendly and attentive. The price tag was also not as bad as eating in the parks. We tried the Avocado toast and the florentine frittata. Both were delicious. I only wish we had a little more. The food was delicious but left us wanting for a little bit more.

Service was solid at this restaurant. It's very typical over priced Disney food with limited seasonings and menu items. Good ambiance inside with good location. The pasta was bland and our pizza was by far the greasiest we've ever had anywhere from and pizza place. It was almost too soggy to eat. Wish there were better to report but so far no.

We were staying at the boardwalk so figured we should try this spot for breakfast one day. We ordered an omelette and the pancakes with bacon as well as some drinks. The omelette was pretty tasty, however the pancakes seemed to be more fanfare than scrumptiousness. However, the food overall was solid but not for the "prestige" of the venue or being Disney. I believe our server's name was Brent and he was FANTASTIC, he matched our vibe so well and took great care of us. Overall, I'd still return but I'd have my expectations to average.

Our experience at Trattoria al Forno was beyond amazing. The ambience, the food! it was all perfect!! We walked in around 10,11am on Saturday and they had a 10 minute wait time but I feel like we waited much less. I ordered the breakfast pizza, it was an amazing choice, it felt so fresh and it was just pure perfection on a plate or Chief kiss I should say for drink I had order the perche soda water but I didn't really like it so I swapped it out for Coffee, my server was so kind, he swapped it out immediately. Our servers name was Mitch, he was beyond amazing, if I could give him more than five stars I would. He was so attentive and he genuinely cared for us to be happy with our experience, he exemplified true hospitality from start to finish. In all the whole staff was amazing, I recommend this place 100%.

Unexpectedly wonderful breakfast spot! I came to Trattoria al Forno for an early breakfast before heading to EPCOT. First I started with an iced coffee which was amazing! It was sweet while still having a very strong coffee flavor. We decided to share a sweet dish and a savory dish so we ordered the tiramisu bread pudding and the al forno eggs. The egg dish was fantastic! The eggs are perfectly cooked in a delicious cheesy sausagey marina sauce. The bread was the perfect accompaniment to dip. We finished with the tiramisu bread pudding which was rich, sweet, but perfectly balanced with the coffee flavor and light whipped cream. My friend and I were raving about our entire meal and this may be the best breakfast we have eaten at Disney World. I highly recommend dining outside especially early in the morning- it is a perfect people watching spot and not many people choose to dine outside.

I'm local and go to a lot of restaurants around Disney. This is a hidden gem. The ambiance was wonderful for a date night, but it's Disney so the kids are welcome. Service was outstanding, and the food. There wasn't anything served to us that wasn't delicious. We got a pizza to go for a late night snack, just could not resist that wood fired oven. No picture but is was very tasty as well!

One of our favorite places. Always great staff and this time was exceptional. The decor is so warm and inviting. For me I had the chicken parm and honestly not the best this time out. Chicken too think and the pasta was over done. Could not finish it.

One of my absolute favorite Italian restaurants on Disney property. The service is always amazing and the food is incredible. This past visit we enjoyed the shrimp tagliatelle and the gnocchi and both were amazing.

In a World full of frankly mediocre dining options (at least when it comes to the food itself, not the theming), Trattoria al Forno stands out. I will make it clear that this was a five star experience given the context of the other dining experiences I had all week. Don't go in expecting mind-blowing Italian food, but it is very good. And they have one of the better, if not inventive, vegan entree options, a vegan bolognese. You can probably skip the bruschetta, as it wasn't anything exceptional and there is a pretty damn good bread service going on. Now for something mind-blowing: the plant-based olive oil pistachio cake is in a league of its own. I'd probably come here for that alone if I'm being perfectly honest. It may be my favorite vegan dessert at a Disney restaurant (right next to the humbly-named chocolate mousse bar at Coral Reef). The service that we experienced here was outstanding. Our waitress was well-informed about a vegan diet (not always the case at Disney). Loved the warm vibes in the dining room and the fact that it's attached to my favorite resort bar, Abracadabar, too!

I'm so sad this place flew under my breakfast radar for so long - we absolutely loved our meal! Service was so friendly and very attentive. My fiancé and I shared a press pot of coffee which was delicious. My Eggs al Forno might be my new favorite breakfast dish on property! My fiancés Steak and Eggs was fantastic as well. Of course we had to share some Mickey Waffles because.... Disney! I cannot recommend breakfast at Trattoria al Forno enough, especially before a long EPCOT day!
