The backstory here, the details, the secret tunnel all make this an immersive experience and super fun to explore and see all of the stuff on the walls and throughout the restaurant. You want to dine somewhere with a super immersive theme.But if you have a group of chocolate lovers, there are other options here (or all over Disney Springs) that you’d probably enjoy more. We generally adore lemon so this landed with us, but it’s definitely not something we’d go out of our way to seek out in the future. This dessert was nice and light, with bright citrus flavors that didn’t feel too filling on top of an already dense meal. We feel like we’re in a secret bar in the 1920s because, well, we kinda are! He must have had a lightbulb moment and decided creepy tunnels+booze=business opportunity! The result is that this restaurant OOZES atmosphere.
This bar/restaurant is the result of Enzo discovering the abandoned tunnels. Even the likes of famous gangster Al Capone got in on the Florida rum game. Some…err…entrepreneurial souls took to the waters and skies, smuggling a LOT of it back into the U.S. These spots manufacture some famously good RUM, among other things. While most alcohol was bootlegged (AKA homemade) and not…very…palatable, Floridians had the luxury of both Cuba and the Caribbean islands just a couple hundred miles off the coast. In real life, during the 20s and 30s, liquor was BANNED in the U.S. 😉įlorida actually has quite the colorful history with rum-running (and you thought the only pirates in the area were the ones over on Pirates of the Caribbean!). What does the husband of the successful duo do next? Opens a bar in the abandoned rum-running tunnels he discovers under the air terminal. It did SO well, they opened their own Italian restaurant (that would be Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante). These two immigrants moved to Florida and started a successful lil’ pizza by the slice joint in the old air terminal of Disney Springs (ahem…that would be Pizza Ponte). Think of this corner of Disney Springs near the Edison as the fictional couple Maria and Enzo’s little slice of Italy in Florida. And as we mentioned, that atmosphere comes with a story. Secret hidden Prohibition-era tunnels under Disney World’s mega shopping district? Umm, yes please. Especially when you have a killer backstory and fun theming, right? So we’re heading back to the tunnels for a second round. But, every place deserves a second chance. Our first experience was…underwhelming, to put it mildly. We have a confession to make: we haven’t been back here for another review since it opened back in early 2018.
