Maria Enzo's - Lake Buena Vista

I had dinner with my family last night, and the waiting staff was incredibly accommodating, making sure that everything was vegan. They even offered some off-menu items that are vegetarian and vegan, including a delicious pasta puttanesca.

The restaurant is stunning, and the staff is incredibly friendly. They update their menu every couple of months. For our vegan family of four, with one person needing a gluten-free option, they offered us spaghetti and gluten-free penne with marinara sauce. We had to suggest adding some broccolini to the dish. We could also have the house salad, but without the cheese. In the end, it came to nearly $200 for such simple meals. The staff was very apologetic about accommodating our dietary needs. Was the food good? Yes. Would I go back? I was really looking forward to a puttanesca dish, but it wasn't on the menu.

I had the gluten-free mostaccioli with marinara sauce, accompanied by broccolini and carrots. The waitstaff was very knowledgeable and inquired about any allergies I might have.

The restaurant has a lovely ambiance, and the staff is exceptionally friendly. They update their menu every few months, but unfortunately, as a vegan family of four (with one member needing gluten-free options), our choices were quite limited. We could only choose between spaghetti or gluten-free penne with marinara sauce. We even had to request adding some broccolini to our meal. We did enjoy a house salad without cheese, but overall, the cost was nearly $200 for very basic dishes. While the staff was apologetic, they didn’t show much creativity in catering to our dietary needs. Was the food good? Yes. Would I return? Not for that menu. I left disappointed, especially since I was hoping for a delicious puttanesca that never materialized.
