A new Italian restaurant, Terralina Crafted Italian, is slated to open this fall at Disney Springs on the site of the former Portobello Country Italian Trattoria. James Beard Award-winning Chef Tony Mantuano will curate the new menu, and Chef Justin Plank will return from Portobello to run the kitchen.
The restaurant is getting a multimillion-dollar makeover, inspired by the design and lifestyle of Italy’s Lake District. The new space will be reminiscent of an Italian home, with an open kitchen, dining rooms with eclectic decor and a new veranda bar outside the main entrance.
Chef Mantuano’s authentic Italian cuisine (much of it infused with his signature olive oil imported directly from Italy) will include artisanal pizzas and fresh vegetable dishes fired up in a wood-burning oven. Two new signature dishes — mussels and a grilled pork chop — will be on the menu, along with favorites from Portobello, such as the antipasti platter and signature pastas.
Terralina will be open for lunch and dinner — check back for opening dates.
