Disney4me Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 We are getting our first details today about the restaurant that will replace Kouzzina at Disney’s BoardWalk when it closes later this year.Trattoria al Forno will join other eateries at the deluxe hotel and entertainment district. The restaurant is slated to open this December.The menu will feature Italian fare with an emphasis on regional specialities and classic preparations. Many ingredients will actually be made from scratch, in-house. We can’t wait to try the freshly handcrafted Mozzarella and the house-made Cavatelli!The restaurant will also have wood-burning ovens, and they’ll put them to good use making — you guessed it! — Neopolitan-style Pizza! Will it be like Via Napoli meets the BoardWalk? Sounds good to me!I’m Hoping for Pizzas Like the Quattro Fromaggi from Via Napoli!But they aren’t stopping there. Eating through Trattoria al Forno’s menu will be like taking a culinary tour across Italy. Guests can choose from a Bolognese made with Braised Beef, inspired by the dishes of Bologna. If you’re looking for a rich dish, you may want to try the Tagliatelli Carbonara from Rome (yes; that will be my first choice, in case you were wondering). Pork Chops prepared in the style of Milan will be another menu item. But those looking for more familiar Italian dishes will also find favorites like Chicken Parmigiana.I’m also seriously excited that they’ll feature Seasonal Risottos! YA HOO!!!!!!!!!!The wine list also promises to be something special, as the restaurant will source only Italian Wines. With more than 60 wines available by the bottle and over 25 available by the glass, wine lovers will have lots to choose from. The beverage menu will also include an assortment of cocktails, Italian beers, and sodas. Can we hope for Acqua Frescas? Because that would be awesome. Expect to see a custom blended coffee created just for Trattoria al Forno, too.We’re Betting on Some Great Italian Wine FlightsHere are a few other menu items that we know about:Antipasti, including Italian Meats, Olives, and CaponataShrimp with Garlic, Capers and Anchovy Butter served with PolentaWhole Roasted Fish with Roasted VegetablesBaked LasagnaGrilled SteakSlow-cooked Lamb Shank with PolentaEggplant RollatiniRuffled Campanelle Pasta with Green Beans, Roasted Potatoes and Genovese PestoDesserts, including Tiramisù, Lemon Panna Cotta with Almond Crunch and Berries, Gelatos, and Bomboloni (Italian Doughnut Holes) with Dark Chocolate and Vanilla Gelato.It sounds pretty impressive.While there’s no word yet on when Disney will begin to accept Advance Dining Reservations, we do know that Kouzzina by Cat Cora will be closing its doors on September 30.This spot on the BoardWalk has long been occupied by restaurants featuring Mediterranean flavors — first Spoodles and then Kouzzina. And now, Trattoria al Forno. We’re looking forward to seeing what this next chapter in the restaurant’s life will bring.Are you excited to see the changes coming to the BoardWalk’s restaurant later this year?
