Trattoria al Forno Dinner Review


Trattoria al Forno is an Italian restaurant on Disney's BoardWalk serving breakfast and dinner with an Italian flare.  For this meal, I chose to have dinner at this BoardWalk eatery. While it's of course easy for guests staying at Disney's BoardWalk Inn and Villas to dine here, it is also easily accessible via Epcot's International Gateway or Disney's Skyliner if you are looking for a change of pace one evening.


While the restaurant is beautiful inside, it was a perfect Florida evening so I chose to dine outside on the BoardWalk and take in the evening, atmosphere, and the views. My server was friendly and approachable and helped guide me through my meal choices.  I chose to start my meal with a nice glass of wine and soon after bread service was brought out.  


I then went with the seasonal salad which was quite sizable, fresh and delicious. Other appetizer choices include Italian favorites like calamari, minestrone soup and caprese salad. 


For my main course, I went with a classic, Polpette (meatballs) served with Sunday gravy and some delightful pasta underneath. Meatballs are a favorite of mine and these did not disappoint, however there are a wide variety of options to choose from if they aren't your thing, ranging from steak Florentine to shrimp pappardelle to lasagna and many choices in between. 


I wrapped up my meal with some decadent chocolate dessert which was truly the cherry on top of a wonderful meal. 


If you are in Epcot or the Epcot Resorts area but can't get a reservation here, you can also find great Italian food at the Italy Pavilion which serves lunch and dinner at several locations (Tutto Gusto is my favorite!) in Epcot or next door at the Swan at Il Mulino New York Trattoria which serves dinner.

Paddlefish Restaurant at Disney Springs

After arriving in Walt Disney World around dinnertime with no reservations on our latest trip, we headed over to Disney Springs to see what was available and Paddlefish caught our eye with the beautiful boat shining on the water.  There was space for us at the bar where they serve the full menu, so we settled right in for what was about to be a delicious dinner. We started with cocktails and were very impressed by not only the cocktail selection, but also the bartender's knowledge and expertise on the menu to guide us through our selections tonight.  At the recommendation of the staff, we had to give the Lobster Corn Dogs a try for our appetizer.  These were so fun and very delicious (and I don't normally like lobster!) They are most like a corn dog in that they are on a stick, but don't let that stop you from giving these a try.  Next up it was time for our entrees, we both opted for options "from the port" since we were in a seafood inspired restaurant, we could
