We ate at Paradiso 37 on Sunday. It was just OK…not great.
We loved the fish and shrimp fritters, but the rest of the meal
fell flat. While our server was very nice, she seemed like she was having trouble with the heavy, odd shaped plates. The Pupusas were
kinda bland and the fried mac and cheese bites were horrible. We
won’t be going back anytime in the near future.

I had dinner at the new restaurant Kouzzina recently and it was out of this world. It had been awhile since I visited Walt Disney World and I really enjoyed it. Felt like a kid again!

There is, bar none, NO OTHER corporate restaurant group that does more to provide safe and delicious gluten-free options for those children and adults who cannot consumer gluten due to celiac disease or gluten intolerance. This effort seems to go very deep, through every Disney dining venue, with chefs and managers calling consumers directly, to go over their wonderful menu options. They provide gluten free breads, noodles and are able to adapt many dishes to this particular need. They deserve incredible kudos for this effort!

I don’t understand how you can write this story without mentioning the contribution Dieter Hannig made. If there was 1 person most responsible for the enormously upgraded food available at Disney,it was him. Give credit when it is earned!

We dined at Cat Cora’s this past week. While we wanted to love it, it fell completely flat.
The flaming cheese came out not flaming, but a coagulated lump of goo. My meal and side dish had to be sent back and recooked as it came out completely cold.
The service is fumbling and there is much, MUCH room for improvement across the board. I got the sense that other tables around us had the same experience.
We’ve eaten at Mario Batali’s and Bobby Flay’s and Cat’s got a lot of room to go before being the Iron Chef.
If she wants this to be a success, she needs to chime in and whip it in to shape before her name is tarnished.

Eating in Disney World really can be an impeccable experience, and becoming more so every day. Disney strives to be the best: at animation, at entertainment, at theme parks, at resorts. Why would we expect less from them when it comes to food?

Are their vegetarian selections besides pasta with tomato sauce and salads? I love exotic tastes and unusual ingredients.

The authentic italian food sounds good. But the 9 million burgers almost staggers the mind doesn’t it? 9 million! The veal meatballs sound delicious.
