Terralina Crafted Italian is a brand new restaurant that’s just days away from opening at Disney Springs. The Italian eatery will resided in the former home of Portobello, right along the shores of Lake Buena Vista.
What’s happening:
- Disney Springs’ newest restaurant, Terralina Crafted Italian will open to guests on Thursday, June 28th.
- The restaurant was inspired by the design and lifestyle of Northern Italy’s famous lakes like Lake Como, set far away from city life and surrounded by picturesque villages.
- Terralina Crafted Italian’s transformation includes a newly installed veranda that overlooks Riverboat Square. Guests will take in sweeping waterfront views while they relax and dine.
- Along with the gorgeous veranda, the restaurant also features a centrally located kitchen where chefs are busily preparing freshly picked herbs, grilling vegetables, and baking pizzas in the wood burning stove.
- The creative culinary team will be led by Chef Tony Mantuano and Executive Chef Justin Plank. Both chefs have carefully developed a menu that will showcase authentic Italian flavors that are both familiar and new.
Delicious Dining:
Guest will enjoy exquisite dishes including:
- Housemade Lasagna
- Chicken Parmesan
- Housemade Porchetta
- Capellini with Crab
- Swordfish Peperonatta

Speciality Beverages:
A full-service bar will offer handcrafted apertivos like the classic Negroni, as well as refreshing pitchers of Crafted Lemonade made with lavender rosemary vodka, homemade orange blossom lemonade and celery bitters. Of course guests can also select a bottle or glass of wine from the global and Italian wine list.
What they’re saying:
- Andy Lansing, President and CEO of Levy Restaurants: “We are excited to bring an authentic Italian dining experience to Disney Springs and we look forward to sharing a piece of the Italian culture to vacationers and Florida locals. Terralina Crafted Italian is a classic example of our commitment at Levy Restaurants to deliver authentic food, genuine hospitality, but most importantly a memorable guest experience.”
- James Beard Award-winning Chef Tony Mantuano: “Italy’s Lake District is one of my favorite places to vacation, specifically the Lake Como region. In Lake Como, you can take a boat from town to town and experience all the region has to offer. At Terralina Crafted Italian, the spirit of Lake Como is found throughout the restaurant from handmade pastas and fresh seafood to a wide variety of Italian and grape sparkling wines.”
- Chef Tony Mantuano: “Italian culture values slowing down to enjoy the simple things in life that really matter, like sharing a great meal with family and friends. I find that’s even more pronounced in these tiny lakeside towns where you can sit right alongside the water and lose track of time.”
Terralina Crafted Italian will be open for lunch and dinner and also available for group dining and events, including interactive cooking classes. Guests can make reservations, join their email list and check out the full menu on their website.
