Tutto Gusto

Quaint little place to stop and get a drink with a few appetizers. A little tight on space, but that's what you should expect from a lounge. Nice place to take a break during your Epcot day.

Tutto Gusto is located in the Italy pavilion at EPCOT. It is attached to one of their sit-down restaurants and used to be our favorite place to lounge, grab drinks and snacks. In recent years they changed the walk-up ability to sit in here and you now need to make a reservation for the main restaurant, and you might get seated in here. This is a wine cellar and, in my opinion, the perfect place to have a walk-up lounge. It is almost centrally located around World Showcase, so I am not sure why it changed. This was perfect and always packed with people, sitting, drinking and ordering appetizers. On most days, this location is now empty, with only a few tables full. They still have the option to go up to the bar, but you cannot linger here or sit. It is grabbing your drink and go. And since they do not want to over crowd the diners actually eating in here, they only let a couple of people in at once. So, you have to stand in line outside and to be honest, this is the longest line that never moves. It feels like it takes forever especially since they only send one group in at a time. Inside is small, dark and themed after a wine cellar. I do really enjoy it inside; I think the vibe is perfect. They have a full bar including beer and wine. Since you are not dining here, you are only allowed to get drinks to go. Again, this bar needs bar seating. I would 100% have more drinks if I could actually sit at the bar. My go to drink here is their espresso martini. It is more on the creamy side, its full of strong coffee flavor and is really a great pick me up and a great cocktail. This is really the only thing I have ever ordered here to go. When we sat down inside here, I did order the wine flight, which was also really great. I did the white wine, and my husband did the red wine flight. But now, we both usually get the espresso martini. The only thing I dislike about their espresso martini is they pour it into a plastic cup over ice. There is actually very little drink in here, it is mostly ice. It's a little bit of a rip, so we do not always stop here. Overall, this is a cute stop. If you are looking to grab an Italian wine or even a cocktail, this is a good stop. The pavilion also has a wine shop near the front where you can also grab a glass of wine. I would say look at that and if there is a drink you want, get it there. It moves much faster. Tutto Gusto is a great stop, but you need to be prepared to wait. And Disney if you're listening, please bring this back as a lounge. We would stop here every single time if it was a lounge. But overall, it's ok. Not my favorite place but pretty good.

Waiting in line to be allowed into the building and the hosts Aleida and Clarissa didn't acknowledge us at all. No greeting no hi how are you, just completely ignored us and continued their conversation in Italian. Very rude in my opinion. Like we're at a Disney spot isn't everyone supposed to be overly friendly??Bar service was very nice! Limincello flight was subpar -- should've stuck with the original.

Went here for drinks for the afternoon with myself having an espresso martini. The drink itself was very basic in a plastic cup poured over ice. The actual portion of alcohol was very minimal and was overall not impressive of a drink. The vibe is neat but for the overall price and poor quantity/minuscule amount I think it's better to try other places in the vicinity.

Stopped here while walking around the world at Disney Epcot. We got in pretty quick without a wait and now I know why. No reservations were needed here. We ordered appetizers to share so we could get a variety of food. We chose the Calamari Fritti which is served with a spicy marina, Polpette Parmigiana and Penne Arrabbiata. The penne and meatball dishes were both really good and I would order again, however the calamari was very chewy and lacked flavor. Our waiter greeted us not too long after we were seated but refused to take our drink order and stated he was going to bring back water first and then he would get our order. It took about 10 minutes before he came back with water. After that the service was really subpar for a Disney restaurant. We were told we would get bread, and had to ask 2 different people to get it. He never cleared the empty drink glasses form the table so the tables was cramped with unnecessary glass wear. When we got the bread, the person bringing it had the plate of olive oil in his hand and it was shaking so bad, some of the oil spilled on my husbands shorts. When my husband asked out waited for some club soda to try and clean it, he told us he had to ask the manager first. By the end of out meal we had to ask the waiter to take some stuff off the table because there was barely any room for the stuff we needed. I gave this place a 3 star mainly because the service was not up to the Disney standards.

Overall, great atmosphere! Not much to say. It's pretty empty and it's nearly 1pm. Access is right through Tutto Italia, just ask for the bar! I got the Bellini, which was $16! This small cup for $16 felt like a lot. Overall, go for the experience of trying new things, but nothing is asking for me to come back.

My favorite of the three food and beverage choices in the Italian showcase, Tutto Gusto probably has the best focus of any of the options available. The beverage menu for cocktails and Wines is surprisingly extensive. There's some really good choices here and not necessarily your run-of-the-mill options.For cocktails, the Italian sangria is excellent, as is the white wine spritzer. The Bellini and Frizzante are both yummy choices on a hot day. Your beer menu is very limited and nothing you can find at a neighborhood bar, but you don't really come to a place like this to grab a beer.Plenty of sparkling, white, rose, and red choices, available by the glass, half class, or bottle. All of your top value Italian wine regions are represented here, from Tuscany to Veneto, and from Chianti and other central regions. Cocktails from southern Italy also have a prominent place on the menu, with the limoncello based drinks the notable stars of the show.The bar is set up to resemble a European style, wine cellar and tasting room, and this location is strictly geared toward adults. The atmosphere is cozy and classy, without ever feeling pretentious. It's very easy to settle in to a comfy chair and spend a few hours at this location. We do have some food options from the nearby restaurant, but my recommendation is to keep it light and just enjoy the wine. The service is attentive and friendly, never overbearing. I found that staff was always willing to make a suggestion based on preferences, and their instincts were usually pretty solid.As you would expect, you're going to pay a significant markup on the alcohol, but it's not quite as bad as you think. Frankly, I thought the prices for the winds here were far more reasonable than some of the food options in the same section of the park . For example, an $80 of Barolo might go for $200 here. Not quite a 300% markup. That's actually pretty close to standard, or even on the lower side for some trendy wine bars and restaurants. Overall, this might be my favorite little hideaway in Epcot. It can be easy to miss, but if you're willing to indulge in some wine and slow things down a bit, this is your place.

This place is super cute and a fun little hangout. The menu is very limited though and drinks are pricey- but it is Disney. We ordered the calamari and it was just ok. It smelled very fishy but it was better than it smelled. The sauce was covered in red pepper on top so you had to be careful where you dipped or it was too spicy. Our server, I believe his name was Eric, was rude as can be. Never have I experience a cast member so rude. Honestly, we all got the impression that he never wanted to be a cast member or to work there, he just needed a job and somehow Disney gave him one. He was nasty and made very rude comments to our group. The drinks were good, I had the Bellini which I thought tasted good but others said it was a bit floral. My friends also enjoyed their espresso martini, which apparently is very popular. We probably would have tried some other items but our server was just so nasty that we did not want to and just enjoyed drinks, our app, and chatting.

I love this place. Matteo is great, the manager is great... I always have a great experience here. The food is super and I always get a table because the bar is a bit rushed. This place is a hidden gem and it seems nobody knows about it.

Had great meal here - we sat on the side of the bar. If you don't have a reservation the bar area was not crowded at all for coming in to get a drink - hard to notice to left of main entrance.REcommend this over the other italian options at epcot.
