It’s 2021 and we’re still giddy to go into the parks every day, especially with the upcoming EPCOT International Festival of the Arts!
We’ve been tracking the gradual reopening of Disney World restaurants and, today, we noticed the Tutto Gusto Bar at EPCOT is open for grab and go service!
Back in July, we shared that Tutto Italia Ristorante at the Italy pavilion in EPCOT World Showcase was reopened for lunch and dinner. However, the adjacent bar, Tutto Gusto, did not join the reopening and instead has been serving as extended seating for the restaurant — up until a few weeks ago!
Tutto Gusto Bar is a cozy wine bar located in the former Tutto Italia lobby space and traditionally serves TONS of wines along with small plates. The bar is now reopen for grab-and-go only from 1PM to 7PM daily, with seating still reserved for the table service restaurant.
To grab yourself an Italian cocktail as you walk around EPCOT, enter through Tutto Italia. There are two separate lines in this area, the left is for dining and the right is for the bar, so you’ll want to be sure to find the right one. Once you’re up to the front of the line, let one of the Cast Members know you’d like to go to the bar and they’ll direct you when there’s room.
Once there is space, you’ll be assigned a number to go up to and order your drinks.
The menu (which is a QR code you can scan with your phone) is a bit modified but is still fairly lengthy, serving only beverages to go and no small plates.
We decided to grab the Italian Martini, which is made of Citron vodka, Limoncello, triple sec, and lemon juice. There’s also a variety of cocktails, wines, and a limited selection of beer. We thought this drink was simply refreshing!
We are glad to be able to snag a drink at another World Showcase location, and Tutto Gusto is a hidden gem! We’ll be sure to keep an eye out for more updates as new information pops up!

We were there in September and they were still seating people in the wine celler area to eat and drink. We are coming next week, is Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar still open to dine in?

Mia, we’ve seen them serving only grab-and-go from Tutto Gusto. Our understanding is that they’re using it for overflow from Tutto Italia.
