REVIEW: The Award for Most IMPROVED EPCOT Festival Booth Goes to…

Ciao! Looking for details on where to find the latest Italian food at EPCOT? We’ve got you covered!

L’Arte di Mangiare

We’re live at the 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Arts, checking out the food studios, artistic performances, merchandise, and more. There’s a LOT going on, but don’t let it overwhelm you. We’re here to tell you everything you need to know before your visit. Let’s go to L’Arte di Mangiare to try some new and returning snacks and drinks!

Eats

The Mozzarella Fritta is returning this year. This is Flash-fried breaded fresh mozzarella with artist palette condiments for $9. Yes, it’s fried cheese, and OF COURSE, we’re eating it. But y’all, this presentation!!! 👏So yes, it looks great, but we’re also in LOVE with the sauces it comes with — each one is really solid.

Mozzarella Fritta

Now, Disney doesn’t have a cheat sheet, so it’s hard to tell what each sauce is, although we’re pretty sure one is pesto and one is a tomato-based sauce. One of the sauces even gave us yum-yum sauce vibes. However, we do not think this is worth the price for how little you get. It’s tasty, but it’s not a very good value because you literally only get one little piece of fried cheese.

Fried cheese

Next up, we’re diving into a new item to the food studio this year, the Tricolore for $8.75. This dish is made with Cheese-filled ravioloni, pomodoro, cream, and pesto sauces. It’s basically a ravioli with three sauces. Now, the sauces taste store-bought, but this still is a good choice for picky eaters. It IS tasty.

And now, for dessert! Let’s check out the Hazelnut S’more Cannoli for $5.50. The concept of a Hazelnut S’more Cannoli sounds amazing, and we can’t wait to see if it delivers or falls flat! We didn’t taste a lot of hazelnuts, but this was still a good cannoli.

The shell was nice and crunchy, and the cream inside was chocolatey. We did think the texture of the cream inside was a little grainy, but that’s not a deal breaker.

Drinks

In terms of drinks on this menu, the Mela Spritz is available for $15. This cocktail is made with Apple Schnapps, prosecco, and sparkling water. This was lovely! It tasted light, fruity, and perfectly sweet, yet balanced. We would definitely order this again!

L’Arte di Mangiare also has some returning beer, wines, and cocktails, including the Peroni Pilsner ($6.50 for 6 ounces and $11 for 12 ounces), Prosecco ($12), Moscato ($12), Chianti ($12), Italian Red Sangria ($12), and Italian-inspired Margarita ($12).

OVERALL

It’s no secret that this festival food booth in Italy has been disappointing us for some time now, but this year, we’re starting to see some improvement. Although we probably won’t be adding any of this booth’s items to our Best of the Fest lists, everything we tried was pretty solid for a change.

That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
