NEWS: New Italian Dinner Buffet Coming to the Paradise Pier Hotel

On July 10th, the PCH Grill at Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel will debut a new dinner buffet. The Calitalian Dinner Buffet will include Italian-inspired dishes with “flavors from the Tuscan countryside.”

In addition to build-your-own salad, the salad bar will feature a Caprese Salad, Antipasto Salad, or a classic Italian Panzanella, made with tomato, bread, cucumber, and pickled red onion. Soups may include Italian Minestrone or Cream of Broccoli.

Entrees of Braised Lamb Osso Bucco, House-Made Italian Meatballs, Slow-Baked Lasagna, Grilled Salmon, or Eggplant Parmigiana might be on the menu.

Guests will be able to choose from several different pastas and top them with their choice of sauces, including bolognese, pesto cream, Alfredo, or pomodoro.

The kids will enjoy Spaghetti with Turkey Meatballs, Grilled Hot Dogs, Corn on the Cob, Mac and Cheese, and Mozzarella Sticks.

Finally, look for Italian-inspired desserts like Tiramisu, Mini Verrines, Panna Cotta, Cannoli, and Italian Rum Cakes.

The PCH Grill is located just off the lobby of the Paradise Pier Hotel. The restaurant currently features Surf’s Up! Breakfast with Mickey and Friends, but beginning July 10th, Donald Duck’s Seaside Breakfast will take over the space. The Calitalian Buffet replaces the Beach Side Bonfire Buffet.

Reservations are recommended.

About the Author: DBTN - FOUNDER, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF DBTN

My enthusiasm for all things Disney all started when my parents took our family to WDW for a vacation. My first trip was at age 13. Since that first time, I have made a trip to WDW almost every year from age 13. As far as I knew there was only one place to vacation! My fascination with WDW began on that first trip. I wanted to know how things at WDW operated and what made it so magical. I wanted to know details like how many people worked there and the length of the monorail track. It is that fascination that fueled my interest in WDW. Each year that my family vacationed at WDW, I learned more about WDW as they built more parks and added more attractions. I am not the average fan; I want to know all the details and I love researching the facts of WDW. I research facts through the Internet, books and DVDs. To me, the best part is to conduct research trip at WDW. After college, my father was transferred to Orlando and I moved with my parents. Seeking employment, I applied for a job at WDW. I passed the first rounds of interviews and was proud to join the Disney family as a security cast member! The job was great. It included Disney-specific training and security training before assuming four duties: driving a security vehicle, standing a post, working in a resort or walking a park or other area. Sometimes I even had special duties like working the Epcot Christmas Processional. I would escort the celebrity guests from backstage to onstage. Interestingly, every cast member is given a WDW fact book monthly to aid in answering guest questions. The pocket book contained great Disney facts that added more fuel for my thirst of Disney facts. Well, all-good things must come to end so we moved back to NJ. In the summer of 2010 I moved back to Florida I am now living in Orlando less then 15 minutes from WDW and living the dream and have fun along the way.
