The MouseHub take

Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar sits inside the Italy pavilion at EPCOT, in the same building as Tutto Italia Ristorante, and it opened alongside that restaurant's reopening on May 1, 2012. Disney files it as an Italian bar-lounge, and it reads like one: a dark, cool room styled after an Italian wine cellar, with more than 200 bottles of Italian wine behind the bar. The food is small plates. Antipasti run $11 to $23, and the Taglieri section sells single boards of coppa, salame, soppressata, Prosciutto di Parma, or a three-cheese L'Alpine, $15 to $22 each. Two Italian pilsners on the beer list are brewed for this bar.

Doors open at 12:30 PM and close at 9:00 PM, and My Disney Experience takes reservations here rather than walk-up list requests. The room works best as a mid-afternoon break for adults: a glass of wine, a cheese board, and an hour out of the Florida sun. Families with small children tend to struggle, since the tables sit close enough that moving a chair disturbs the party beside you and the light is low enough that people read the menu by phone. Anyone planning dessert should plan elsewhere, because the menu prints none.

At a glance

Best for: Adults who want good Italian wine, a cheese board, and an hour of air conditioning in the middle of a World Showcase day.
Skip if: You are traveling with small children who need room to move, or you want a full sit-down dinner.
Worth ordering: Prosciutto di Parma, L'Alpine, Sorsi d'Oro
Reservations: Book it. My Disney Experience offers a reservation here and no walk-up list, and bookings open 60 days ahead. Reviewers report the room filling on weekends and on EPCOT festival afternoons, with little space to wait inside.
Value: Small plates run $11 to $23 and the meat and cheese boards $15 to $22, which is modest for EPCOT table service. Wine by the glass is where the bill grows: the printed reds range from $12 to $62, and reviewers find the pours small for the price.

The good

The room is cool, dark, and quiet
Reviewers come back to the same thing: after a lap of World Showcase in the sun, a windowless cellar with air conditioning is worth the stop on its own.
The wine list runs deeper than the theme park average
Disney puts the number at more than 200 bottles of Italian wine, and the by-the-glass board carries whites and reds from most of the major regions.
Bartenders will steer you through it
Reviewers describe the staff as willing to talk through the list and pour toward what you say you like, rather than pointing at the menu.
Small plates are priced like snacks
The antipasti run $11 to $23, so a couple of plates and a glass costs less than a table-service meal anywhere else in the pavilion.
Two of the beers are brewed for this bar
Sorsi d'Oro and the Affogato Ale are Italian pilsners the menu says are brewed specially for Tutto Gusto, at $14 and $16.
You can build your own charcuterie board
The Taglieri section sells one cured meat per board, so two boards and the L'Alpine cheese plate make a spread. Reviewers say that much food covers two adults for a light lunch.

The bad

The tables sit inches apart
Parties end up shoulder to shoulder with the group beside them, and getting out of a chair means asking someone else to move first.
A full room gets loud fast
Reviewers who came for a quiet drink describe having to lean in to be heard once the place fills. The hard surfaces give the sound nowhere to go.
Waits build with nowhere to stand
At peak times reviewers report waiting well past what they expected, and the entry area has no real room to hold people while they wait.
It is too dark to read the menu
The cellar lighting is dim enough that reviewers routinely reach for a phone flashlight to read the list or see what is on the board.
The pours look small next to the price
This is the most common complaint in the reviews. Wine by the glass starts at $12 and the reds climb to $62, and visitors expect more in the glass at that price.
There is no dessert
Disney's description of the place mentions panini and desserts, and the menu prints neither. It ends at the cured meats, cheeses, and drinks.

Veteran tips

Do not walk over before 12:30 PM
Tutto Gusto opens at 12:30 PM and closes at 9:00 PM, so it is no help on a rope-drop morning in World Showcase.
Mid-afternoon on a weekday is the window
Reviewers who arrive between the lunch and dinner pushes get seated quickly. The same room at 6:00 PM on a Saturday is a different experience.
Book it 60 days out
Reservations open 60 days ahead at approximately 6:00 AM Eastern, and resort guests can book their whole stay in one sitting. There is no walk-up list to fall back on.
Without a booking, aim for the bar
Reviewers report the seats at the bar turn over faster than the tables, and the same food and wine list is served there.
Order two boards, not one
Each board in the Taglieri section carries a single meat, $15 to $18. Add the $22 L'Alpine for Asiago, Gorgonzola, and truffle cheese and you have a proper mixed plate.
Wine flights are the cheaper way to taste around
Three flights sit on the menu between $22 and $26, which beats ordering three separate glasses if you want to compare regions.
Festival afternoons are the worst time to try
During the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival the pavilion is packed and reviewers report the room filling early. Come before the festival crowds build or pick another day.
Skip it with restless toddlers
A dark room with tight seating and nothing to look at is a hard sell for young children, and the noise at capacity does not help.
