Tucked conveniently between Disneyland Park, Disney Adventure World, and the surrounding resort hotels, the lakeside promenade Disney Village has long served as the main nightlife artery for travelers looking to grab a late-night bite, pick up souvenirs, or unwind over a drink.

Set right at one of the village’s primary gateways, the two-story Italian trattoria will feature lush garden greenery, terrazzo floors, regional pastas, and handcrafted spritzes, alongside an express window serving hot focaccia, pizza by the slice, and gelato.
