Dining Plan Information

Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante accepts the Walt Disney World Dining Plan. 1 Table-Service meal is redeemed per person per visit. The $$ price range makes this one of the better dining plan values at Disney Springs — the credit covers one entree, one non-alcoholic beverage, and one dessert, and the quality of the handmade pasta more than justifies the credit expenditure.

Reservations are recommended, particularly during peak winter and holiday periods when Disney Springs foot traffic is heaviest. A cancellation fee applies for no-shows or late cancellations.

About Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante

Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante occupies one of Disney Springs’ most architecturally distinctive spaces: the 1930s-era Aeronautical Art Deco terminal building that once served as a real airport hangar on the banks of Village Lake. The building’s soaring ceilings, terrazzo floors, vintage aviation maps, and period light fixtures have been preserved and integrated into a dining room that feels genuinely transported from another era — specifically the mid-century Italian immigrant experience of New York and New Jersey, where families like the fictional Enzo family ran neighborhood trattorias with recipes passed down through generations.

The restaurant is part of the Patina Restaurant Group, the same culinary family behind Enzo’s Hideaway and Pizza Ponte at Disney Springs, and that shared heritage shows in the kitchen’s commitment to quality ingredients and traditional Italian technique. The pasta is made fresh daily in-house, a rarity at this price point in a theme park setting, and the wood-fired oven produces results that hold up against Italian restaurants well outside the Disney bubble.

The dining room is warmly lit and comfortable without being formal — exposed brick, dark wood, and vintage Italian travel posters set a tone that invites lingering over a second glass of Chianti. The service is attentive but unhurried, which makes Maria & Enzo’s one of the better choices for guests who want to slow down during a busy Disney Springs visit rather than rushing through a meal.

The location between The Landing and Marketplace makes it a natural dinner destination when paired with a post-meal walk through Disney Springs, and the large windows offer pleasant views of the lake as twilight settles over the water.
