Disney Vacation Guide to Italian Dining at Palo on the Fantasy

The Restaurant

From a live pianist to warm wood decor, Palo suits a romantic evening. The best part is with its floor-to-ceiling windows, semi-circular room design and banquettes that are raised, each table has an exceptional view.

The Food

With dishes inspired by northern Italy, the dining experience starts with antipasti selections, and then a variety of fresh pastas, from lobster pappardelle to wild mushroom risotto. Even meat and seafood dishes have a hint of Italian flair, from  pan-seared turbot with pancetta to Barolo wine drizzled over beef tenderloin. Desserts range from the classical tiramisù to Palo’s decadent signature chocolate soufflé with vanilla bean, panna cotta and chocolate sauce.

Brunch

On sea days try the adult-only brunch buffet with mimosas and champagne, fresh pastries and breads,custom-made entrées and signature pizza.

The Wine

From Prosecco to a Barolo exclusively to Palo, there are more than 90 Italian wines on the list. The signature cocktail – Balsamic Grande - is a dash of vodka, five-year-old balsamic vinegar and strawberries.

Al Fresco

If the tropical breezes are warm, enjoy Palo al fresco on the private teak deck, where sweeping ocean views compliment the menu.
