Enzo’s Hideaway | Taryn's Mad Hatter Adventures

1/29/20

Upon leaving Animal Kingdom, we hopped on a bus to Old Key West so we could get to Disney Springs for our highly anticipated lunch at Enzo’s Hideaway. Usually when I go to Disney Springs, I like to eat at the same places because I have my favorites! Before the huge expansion, my favorite place was Wolfgang Puck Express. Then I tried Raglan Road and that was yummy and entertaining. And then I tried Morimoto and that was super delicious and just beautiful inside. And finally Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’, which has become my #1 favorite restaurant at Disney Springs. The appetizers, main courses, and desserts are SO GOOD!

For this trip, I was traveling with my cousin. We decided to try something brand new! Enzo’s Hideaway was available, so we grabbed a reservation for it. But first…transportation! There is no direct transportation from a Disney park to Disney Springs before 4:00 p.m. You have to take a bus to a resort for a transfer. We decided to take the bus to Old Key West and then enjoy a boat ride over.

The boat dock, which was empty at this time of day!

Some views on our ride:

This is an Amphicar on a tour from The Boathouse. You can rent them and take a spin!

There is also a ballon ride called Aerophile that you can do!

We made our way towards Enzo’s. Now, it was slightly confusing because there are actually two different Enzo restaurants. There’s Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante, which features authentic Italian cuisine set in a transformed airline terminal. And then there’s Enzo’s Hideaway, which is set underground in a tunnel bar, with a speakeasy vibe! This one was down the steps, and almost hidden. Here are some pictures of the inside:

And this is the entrance! Kind of tucked in a corner. Luckily I had read reviews so I knew where to find the door.

This is the check in area. There was no one there, so we just wandered into the restaurant!

I also read about this. Feel free to sign it!

We still couldn’t find anyone…It was EMPTY! (We probably didn’t need a reservation.)

This is the room where we were seated, and this was my view. I think there were maybe three other tables with patrons!

I think you could also sign this wall if you wanted.

I found this table on my way to the bathroom!

The atmosphere was AMAZING! Really, really AMAZING! I would love to come back on a busy night just to see the difference. There were so many details that were perfect for the speakeasy vibe.

As usual, I checked out the menu before we arrived. Of course I couldn’t decide exactly what I wanted, so made a decision on the fly! One word about the wait staff…very good and attentive. Almost too attentive, I think because there were so few tables. They had nothing else to do but check on us repeatedly!

Of course the bread was warm and perfect.

I knew I had to have some wine, because…how could you not in this setting?! I went with my favorite, which is Moscato.

Bucatini Bolognese–traditional braised meat sauce, parmigiano reggiano, basil $25

I ordered the Bucatini Bolognese. This was absolutely delicious! The meat sauce was so tasty. The portion size was normal. The pasta was actually not just your average spaghetti. It was like a thick spaghetti with a big hole running through the center. It is pricey at $25, but alas, we are in Disney at a table service meal. I would definitely order this again!

Classic Lasagna–thin layered egg pasta, braised short rib rag, béchamel, for di latte mozzarella, $26

My cousin ordered the Classic Lasagna. This was also delicious. Super rich and a big portion! I don’t think she finished it.

Needless to say, we were way too stuffed for dessert. Overall, we really liked it here. It was a nice change from what we are used to at Disney Springs. I would definitely return in the future!
