When Italy did open, it featured a restaurant (L'Originale Alfredo di Roma Ristorante), as well as two shops (La Gemma Elegante and Il Belle Cristallo). The entire pavilion faces one plaza, which features a raised platform. Originally the platform was going to be used for live entertainers, but such shows are now performed near the lagoon. The focal point of the pavilion is a recreation of the Dodge Palace in Venice. Both of the Italy pavilion's shops can be found within the palace. Located at the end of the Dodge Palace, is a statue of a grotesque face. Such sculptures were used in Italy by citizens, to complain about their neighbors or their government. The pavilion also features a 100 foot tall campanile (or bell tower), which is a replica of one found in Saint Mark's Square. On top of the campanile is the Archangel Gabriel. One of the most popular photo opportunities in Walt Disney World, the Neptune statue, can also be found in the Italy pavilion. The statue is based on two sculptures found in Italy, the original Neptune statue in Florence and the Trevi Fountain Rome.

The first major change came to the Italy pavilion in 2007, when Italy's original (and only) restaurant, L'orignale Alfredo di Roma Risorante closed. The building was purchased by Patina Restaurant Group, and the restaurant was renamed Tutto Italia which translates to "All Italy". Another change came to the pavilion on August 5, 2010 when a new resturant, Via Nopoli opened where Italy's dark ride attraction was to have been.
