9 – Tiffins

Tiffins restaurant added a much-needed table service option to Animal Kingdom. The restaurant and adjoining, Nomad Lounge can be found behind Pizzafari on the path that takes guests towards Pandora – The World of Avatar. “Tiffin” is the Indian word for lunchbox used for travelers (also a mid-day meal). Tiffins has the distinction of being a “Signature Dining Experience,” a classification reserved for Disney’s best and more expensive restaurants. The theming of Tiffins is that of an adventurer’s club and the theme of travel is everywhere. There are three distinct dining rooms designed to resemble art galleries honoring the continents of Africa and Asia and one celebrating some of the world’s exotic animals. The food is delicious and perfectly prepared and presented. The service was flawless. Make no mistake, this isn’t a park restaurant pretending to be fine dining. This is absolutely fine dining and can hold its own against some of the best/very expensive restaurants I’ve enjoyed in places such as Paris, New York or Las Vegas.

10 – Mamma Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano

Also found in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is a location that combines a cozy but eccentric atmosphere with authentic Italian cuisine. Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano allows guests to enjoy lunch and dinner in a warm dining room that features charming curtains, hanging string lights, and plenty of cured meat and cheese! The unique menu is sure to please even the pickiest of eaters with options like the Margherita Flatbread, Charred Strip Steak, Oven-baked Chicken alla Parmigiana, and Spaghetti and Meatballs.
