Table service
Trattoria al Forno
The short answer
Italian on Disney's BoardWalk, and no longer a character breakfast. Disney's page says "Character Dining is currently not available", and the Bon Voyage Adventure Breakfast has been gone since 2020. What is left is a $16.56-average à la carte breakfast and a dinner of nine entrées averaging $34.33 or wood-fired pizza at $21 to $24.

Is it worth the money?
For pizza on the BoardWalk, yes. For the character breakfast it was famous for, no — that does not exist any more.
The pizzas are the value. $21 to $24 for a wood-fired pizza within ten minutes' walk of EPCOT is fair, and a family can eat dinner here for less than at most Crescent Lake restaurants.
The entrées are moderate-plus. $34.33 on average, and the steak and short rib at $39 to $41 are priced like the neighbouring signature rooms without being one.
Breakfast is now just breakfast. At $16.56 on average it is a reasonable sit-down morning. It is not a character meal, whatever the internet remembers — Disney's page says so in so many words.
One date to plan around: Disney's page notes the Disney Skyliner is closed from 24 January to 30 January 2027, with buses instead. If you use the Skyliner to reach the BoardWalk area that week, allow extra time.
Who it’s right for
Families on Crescent Lake wanting pizza or pasta without a signature price. Plant-based eaters. Anyone wanting a sit-down breakfast before walking into EPCOT.
Who it’s wrong for
Anyone booking breakfast for characters — Disney says character dining is not available here. Anyone wanting a destination Italian dinner, which Il Mulino or Tutto Italia do better. Anyone who wants a quiet room on a busy BoardWalk evening.
What is actually good
Read from Disney's own breakfast and dinner menus on 12 September 2026.
The characters are gone. Disney's own page for Trattoria al Forno reads: "Character Dining is currently not available at this location." The Bon Voyage Adventure Breakfast — Ariel and Eric, Rapunzel and Flynn — has been unavailable since 2020, and Disney has announced no return. Anyone booking breakfast here for characters, on the strength of an old recommendation, will not get them.
Nine dinner entrées, $29 to $41, averaging $34.33. A plant-based "Bolognese" rigatoni is $29. Parmigiana di pollo, truffle gnocchi and a giant-meatball rigatoni are $31 each. Lasagna al forno is $35, and shrimp pappardelle and the fish of the day are $36. A braised short rib is $39 and an oak-grilled strip steak $41.
Four wood-fired pizzas, $21 to $24 — margherita $21, pepperoni $22, and a seasonal pizza or a three-meat pizza at $24. They are the cheapest way to eat dinner here.
Seven appetisers, $12 to $19. Minestrone is $12, and garlic pane rustico, caprese, Caesar, bruschetta and a charcuterie board are $14 to $15. Calamari is $19.
Breakfast is now à la carte: nine dishes, $13 to $23, averaging $16.56. Avocado toast is $13, a breakfast pizza $14, and pancakes $15. Omelet, frittata and two eggs are $17, al forno eggs from the brick oven $18, and steak and eggs $23.
Disney bands both meals $$, "$15 to $34.99 per adult". The dinner average sits $0.66 inside the top of it, and five of the nine entrées cost more than $34.99.
Portions
Generous Italian-American plates. The giant-meatball rigatoni and the lasagna are the heaviest things on the dinner menu. A pizza is a full meal for one adult or a starter for two.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good for plant-based eaters, and marked. The plant-based "Bolognese" at $29 is a proper main, the tomato bruschetta and olives are marked plant-based, and the lemon "ricotta" cake is a plant-based dessert. At breakfast, avocado toast and steel-cut oatmeal are marked plant-based. Disney's allergy-friendly menu lists each dish against specific allergens.
