Is Il Mulino Disney World's BEST Italian Restaurant? Swan & Dolphin Resort

https://youtu.be/Mgbw-2a6lsw

This video is part 3 of our 5-part series where we dine at our top 5 Italian restaurants at Walt Disney World to see which one we think is the BEST. The table-service restaurants featured in this series are Trattoria al Forno at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort, Tony’s Town Square Restaurant at Magic Kingdom Park, Il Mulino at the Swan Resort, Ravello at the Four Seasons, and Via Napoli at EPCOT. Il Mulino might be the most classically New York Italian restaurant on this list. The original location opened in 1981 in Greenwich Village, with Walt Disney World’s version opening at the Swan Resort in early 2007. Many of the notable dishes here are Italian-American classics. The Chicken Parmesan, in particular, stands out as our favorite on all of Disney World property. The interior features a dimly lit, rustic aesthetic, with wheels of Romano Parmesan cheese, wine, and open buckets of limoncello greeting guests as they walk in. We started this series with Italian restaurants that aesthetically capture a classic Disney atmosphere, and Il Mulino marks our shift into restaurants that are more serious and more classically Italian. To us, the style of dining offered at Il Mulino feels the most like home. The portion sizes are large, the included courses are plentiful, the menu is filled with tri-state classics, and the interior truly feels like a rustic trattoria. We’ve really only had positive experiences here in the past. Some visits were better than others, but overall we expected this restaurant to rank high on our list. That said, we’ve also had strong showings from both Tony’s Town Square and Trattoria al Forno. In this video, we break down everything included in a dining experience at Il Mulino. We cover how to get here, their signature dishes, the pricing, and whether we think this hidden gem in the EPCOT resort area is Walt Disney World’s BEST Italian restaurant.
