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 operator change in Italy's signature restaurant. Original operator 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>. Memo Emec, Disney's regional manager of operating participants, stated that the decision to change management was made in order to modernize the eatery <ref name="biz> https://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/stories/2007/04/30/story2.html </ref>. Another reason however, 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"/>.
