Maria & Enzo's Ristorante combines classic Italian comfort food with one of the more unusual restaurant settings at Disney Springs. The restaurant is themed as a glamorous airline terminal from the golden age of travel, giving familiar dishes like pasta and pizza a

much more interesting backdrop. It works well for families, couples, and groups who want a full sit-down meal with recognizable Italian favorites in a setting that still feels special.


🍴 Experience

A meal at Maria & Enzo's can feel relaxed or celebratory depending on how you approach it. You can stop for a straightforward pasta or pizza dinner, or take your time with appetizers, wine, entrées, and dessert. The menu is familiar enough that most groups should find plenty of choices, while the distinctive setting makes dinner feel more memorable than a typical neighborhood Italian restaurant. It is also a good place to slow down after spending several hours walking around Disney Springs.


ℹ️ Info

✨ Atmosphere

The dining room is one of the highlights of Maria & Enzo's. High ceilings, large windows, vintage travel touches, and aviation-inspired details create the feeling of stepping into an elegant old airport terminal. The space is large and bright, with views toward the water adding even more character. Despite the grand setting, the restaurant remains comfortable and family-friendly rather than overly formal, which makes it easy to enjoy whether you are dressed up for dinner or stopping in during a regular Disney Springs day.


🍔 Food

The menu focuses on familiar Italian favorites, including pasta, pizza, salads, appetizers, meat dishes, seafood, and traditional sides. Pasta lovers will have plenty to explore, while guests who prefer something heartier can look toward larger entrées. The menu tends to be approachable, making this a good choice for mixed groups where some guests want classic Italian comfort food and others are looking for a more complete sit-down dinner. Desserts continue the Italian theme and can be a nice way to finish the meal if you still have room.


🍹 Drinks

The drink menu includes cocktails, Italian wines, beer, spirits, and a selection of nonalcoholic beverages. Wine is a natural match for the pasta and larger entrées, while cocktails make it easy to turn the meal into more of an evening out. The selection is broad enough to work for both casual family dinners and adults who want to linger over drinks before heading back into Disney Springs.


🌾 Allergies

Disney is very conscientious about food allergies and dietary needs, and many restaurants have procedures in place to help guests with common food allergies and dietary restrictions. Depending on the location, allergy-friendly menus, ingredient information, or assistance from a chef or manager may be available. Menu items, ingredients, and preparation methods can change, so guests with food allergies should discuss their specific needs with the restaurant team before ordering.


💰 Price

$ ($1–$20) per person

$$ ($21–$50) per person

$$$ ($51–$75) per person

$$$$ ($76+) per person


Price Tier: $$

Most guests ordering an entrée and a nonalcoholic drink should fall within the $$ range, although appetizers, wine, cocktails, and desserts can push the total higher. The restaurant gives you some flexibility because you can keep dinner simple with pasta or pizza or turn it into a more elaborate multi-course meal.
