Tutto Italia Ristorante is a table service restaurant located in the Italy pavilion within Epcot.

History

Tutto Italia Ristorante opened on September 1, 2007, replacing Italy's original table service restaurant L’Originale Alfredo di Roma Ristorante [1] [2]. The new restaurant came about as a result in an ownership change in Italy's signature restaurant. Original owner Alfredo the Original of Rome Inc. was replaced with the Patina Restaurant Group [3]. 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 in 1983 [3]. 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.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no content must have a name.

After the change in ownership, L'Originale Alfredo di Roma Ristorante became Tutto Italia Ristorante [2]. In 2012, Tutto Italia Ristorante closed for a major refurbishment [4]. During the refurbishment, not only was the restaurant remodeled, but a conjoining wine cellar called Tutto Gusto opened [5]. Describing the refurbishment, the Disney Parks Blog noted:

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. [6].
