Changes

Tutto Italia Ristorante opened on September 1, 2007, replacing [[Italy]]'s original table service restaurant [[L’Originale Alfredo di Roma Ristorante]] <ref> https://d23.com/access/?d23access=fcf </ref> <ref name= "D23"> https://d23.com/a-to-z/loriginale-alfredo-di-roma-ristorante/ </ref>. The new restaurant came about as a result of an ownership change in Italy's signature restaurant. Original owner Alfredo the Original of Rome Inc. was replaced with the Patina Restaurant Group <ref name= "book">The Epcot Explorer's Encyclopedia: A Guide to Walt Disney World's Greatest Theme Park </ref>. The reason for the change in ownership may have been due to the fact that Alfredo the Original of Rome Inc. had been tasked with creating a second dining location for the Italy pavilion as early as 1983 <ref name= "book"/>. By 2008 however, the second restaurant had still not been built. At this time, the Patina Restaurant Group agreed to take over L’Originale Alfredo di Roma Ristorante, under a new name<ref name= "book"/>. Furthermore, Patina also agreed to build the second dining location that Disney had been requesting<ref name= "book"/>. After the change in ownership, L'Originale Alfredo di Roma Ristorante became Tutto Italia Ristorante <ref name= "D23"/>.

"The makeover gives Tutto Italia a more expansive feel, with covered outdoor seating for 45 with ceiling fans and lighting, and pretty new carpet, dark-wood booths and spacious banquettes replacing some of the tables in the dining room. The lovely wall murals and elegant chandeliers remain." <ref> https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2012/04/new-wine-cellar-spiffed-up-tutto-italia-open-may-1-at-italy-at-epcot/ </ref>.
