Enzo’s Hideaway review + info

Read on for my Enzo’s Hideaway review and for all the info on this restaurant:

Right in the heart of Disney Springs there is a trifecta of restaurants known as the “Edison complex.” There are 3 restaurants (plus a small quick service pizza location) all owned by the same company – the Patina Group. Most of them have an Italian based menu, but each has its own interesting theme and story line. They include The Edison, Enzo’s Hideaway, and Maria and Enzo’s.

I’ve been able to try them all multiple times, and I’m excited to bring you a look at some of the great options at Enzo’s Hideaway!

I have now dined here 3-4 times, with my most recent visit happening in January 2025.

The atmsophere at Enzo’s Hideaway

While the food here is good, I will start off by saying the atmosphere at Enzo’s is probably my favorite thing about it. The full name of it is technically “Enzo’s Hideaway Tunnel Bar and Restaurant,” and it really leans into the theme of being a 1920s speakeasy.

Sure enough, it feels like you’re entering a tunnel when you get there, including the door that is clearly only a restaurant for people in the know!

There is an entire backstory which ties it into the Maria & Enzo’s restaurant as well. And believe it or not – the two restaurants are actually connected with a “secret” tunnel! Once you get into the restaurant it’s dim (there’s no windows because you’re in a tunnel!), but they have good mood lighting.

The space itself has a cool vibe with old looking brick walls, graffiti all over the place, and a huge and stunning marble table in the middle of the room.

If you wanted to just grab a drink there is a large bar where you could do so.

The lunch menu includes:

• Piccoli Piatti (starters)
• Insalate
• Paninis
• Pasta
• Dolci (dessert)

The paninis are exclusive to the lunch menu. The dinner menu has:

• Piccoli Piatti (starters)
• Insalate
• Secondi (entrees)
• Dolci (dessert)

The “Secondi” section on the dinner menu includes a number of pastas as well as other entrees.

It’s a very Italian inspired menu – so expect to see things like caesar salad, calamari, caprese, pasta, eggplant parm, tiramisu, etc.

There is an extensive drink menu too, which includes Barrel-aged cocktails, Sangria & Spritz, Signature Cocktails, wine, beer, vintage rums, cognac, whiskeys/bourbons, tequilas, gins, and after dinner dessert drinks. Zero proof cocktails are also available, as well as your typical soft drinks.

For awhile Enzo’s Hideaway was offering a special “Sunday Supper” menu, which was a prix fixe menu with a number of dishes served family-style. It was as great way to try a number of their dishes, but I haven’t seen it offered in awhile. Maybe someday they will bring it back!

Take a look at the most recent version of all menus here.

If you’re into exploring different rums or whiskeys, take advantage of the extensive “Enzo’s Smuggled and Stashed Collection.” According to the menu, “We have scoured the globe, on a mission to find unique, hard-to-find spirits, meeting with brewers and distillers that create rare, small-batch booze.”

There are so many drink choices it can be hard to decide, but I’ve had the chance to try a few of them!

During my most recently trip to Enzo’s I had a cocktail called Give ‘Em The Slip (Espolon blanco, Cointreau, blood orange, vanilla-basil-agave syrup, lime, gunpowder salt rim):

I really liked this! It combines orange with vanilla (a favorite combo of mine), but also makes it more interesting by including some basil and lime. I would order this again, although there are so many drinks I want to try that I’d probably opt for some new adventures first. But I’d recommend it!

On my first visit I had the Luciano Spritz (solerno blood orange, aperol, blood orange juice, villa sandi prosecco):

In case you couldn’t tell, I love anything blood orange! This was light and refreshing. It wasn’t strongly alcoholic, but I definitely enjoyed it. All elements of the cocktail worked really well together. Enzo’s makes a few different spritzes, and they sometimes rotate through seasonal options – so this one might not be on the menu when you’re there, but you’re sure to find something similar.

A friend of mine also had Enzo’s red sangria (Burgundy, malbec wine, peach, apricot brandy, grand marnier, seasonal fresh fruits, spiced cinnamon simple syrup):

She was kind enough to let me try a sip of it, and I thought it was pretty good. A pretty standard red sangria, but if that’s what you’re after I think this would do the trick!

The charcuterie quest continues! Jenn (Fairest Run of All) and I are on a mission to try all of the charcuterie boards in Disney World.

Enzo’s Hideaway lists it on their menu as Artisan meats and cheeses (Prosciutto di Parma • Salame Calabrese Piccante • Mortadella • Grana Padano • Gorgonzola Dolce • Moliterno * Marinated Olives • Local Honey * Pickled Peppers * Grissini (bread sticks)):

This is a solid traditional Italian charcuterie board! We don’t really have a rating system or anything (maybe we should come up with something?). But I enjoyed the variety of meats and cheeses. It also comes with a cup of honey, which I love with cheese! The menu says it serves 2, but we shared it with a group of 4. You get a good amount of food – I think we even brought some back to the room.

Jenn also opted to get a salad, since she’s healthy like that. She went with the Rucola Salad (baby arugula, radicchio, gorgonzola dolce, honey crisp apple, candied walnuts, aged balsamic, extra virgin olive oil):

Check out her blog review on Enzo’s hideaway for all of her thoughts, but she described this as “a perfectly serviceable salad.” Sounds like it could have used more apples.

Now get ready for some pasta! I enjoyed the Paccheri al Ragu di Cavolfiore (house-made pasta, cauliflower ragu’, calabrian chili, lemon extra virgin olive oil, pecorino romano):

This is a vegetarian dish, but I ordered it because it sounded tasty. I’m not vegetarian myself but I often enjoy meatless dishes. Ragu is usually a meat sauce, but in this case it was a cauliflower ragu. I know some people might scoff at using cauliflower in place of meat, but this dish was so good! Everything worked. The pasta itself was excellent, and the sauce had such great flavor. I loved the spicy kick it had.

Jenn had the Spaghetti E Polpette (marinara, meatballs, parmigiano, basil):

She was playing it safe this meal since it was her Dopey weekend, and you can’t go wrong with spaghetti and meatballs! The spaghetti and sauce were fine, but the meatballs were the highlight of the dish for her. I’ve had the meatballs myself as part of the Sunday Supper and they are excellent.

Another friend had the Risotto al Funghi (vialone nano rice, roasted mushrooms, white wine, porcini brodo, extra virgin olive oil, pecorino romano):

I will admit that I am not a fan of mushrooms, so this is not a dish I tried myself. It was a generous portion and looked to be chock full of those mushrooms, though!

Another friend got the Eggplant Parmigiana (thin layers of eggplant, tomato sauce, fior di latte mozzarella, parmigiano, basil, penne pomodoro):

Eggplant parm is not usually at the top of my list of dishes to try (the texture of eggplant can be hit or miss for me), but I tried a bit of this and it was honestly really good. And massive! With plenty of cheese, so you can’t go wrong with that.

Another dish I’ve tried is the Pasta della Nonna (Rigatoni Pasta, Short Rib, Meatball and Sausage, Pomodoro Sauce, Parmigiano):

I have had this dish a few different ways, as it’s changed throughout the years. It’s their signature dish, and they really talk up the sauce. I love the rigatoni they use. I’ve also had it “desconstructed” (the rigatoni in a separate dish than the meats) during the Sunday Supper. It really is all about the sauce, and this one is excellent!

Normally I am too full after a meal here for dessert, but when they offered the Sunday Supper it was included – so I got to try a sampler platter. This included tiramisu (Espresso mascarpone cream, lady finger cookies, cocoa), a few flavors of gelato, and some classic cannoli:

The gelato was by far the favorite on the table – I believe it was a raspberry and a cookies and cream. I had one of the mini cannoli and it was fine. Typical cannoli, nothing that stood out (though it went really well with the sorbet). The tiramisu was pretty standard as well. It’s not my favorite dessert in general so I’m probably not the best judge of the quality of this one.

Graveyard of Enzo’ Hideaway dishes & drinks

Enzo’s Hideaway opened in January 2018, and it has been through a number of menu changes since then. There are some dishes and drinks which are no longer available, but for the sake of theme park history I wanted to keep them in this blog post. Below is a look at a few of the items that are not currently on the menu:

Seafood Vesuvio (spiral shaped pasta, mussels, shrimp, calamari, toasted garlic, tomato, white wine, lemon):

I love a seafood pasta, so this was a nice option. The shrimp were large and well cooked, not underdone but also not chewy and overcooked. And I really liked the pasta sauce. I was surprised that the lemon was such a prominent part of the flavor. It was very light and citrusy.

The Peacekeeper (monkey shoulder scotch, pineapple, maraschino liqueur, lemon, angostura, prosecco):

A cocktail no longer available. This was a nice option and pretty strong with the Scotch – the pineapple flavor was pretty subtle.
