Grand Re-Opening of Naples Ristorante E Bar in Downtown Disney

By Erin

I was invited as media to come check out the newly remodeled Naples Ristorante E Bar in Downtown Disney. All thoughts and opinions remain my own!

I go to Disneyland a lot. So you can find me dining and exploring all that the Disneyland Resort has to offer often. Last week I was honored to be in attendance as Patina Restaurant Group showed off their newly remodeled restaurant in Downtown Disney® District, the Naples Ristorante E Bar. The renovations started last year and is now complete so we were all finally able to see the beautiful additions to this delicious restaurant.

New design elements include:

• A mural of photographs by Naples photographer Mimmo Fontanella

• A fire-themed mosaic glass tile above a trio of new wood-burning pizza ovens

• An expanded outdoor patio with a new outside bar and fountain wall

• A large “infinite loop” lighting fixture

The celebration included executives from Disney and Patina Restaurant Group joined by special guests Chef Mickey Mouse and Chef Goofy. Following the dedication, we got to partake in the food and friendly hospitality at Naples.

Thank you Naples Ristorante e Bar for inviting us to the grand reopening!

Chef Umberto Rubelli hails from Milan, Italy and brings an authentic Italian touch to the food.

New menu items include a variety of fresh seafood, simply prepared fish selections with lemon, olive oil and tomato. There is a new build-your-own pizza menu at Napolini that Pizzaiolo Charlie Restivo runs.

The pizzeria’s signature pies include Vesuvio(mozzarella, tomato, Calabrian chili, green olives, anchovies, capers), California (chicken, bbq sauce, red onions, cilantro, smoked mozzarella), and Capri (shrimp, mozzarella, fontina, lemon, pesto). Most ingredients are imported from Italy and they use locally grown vegetables. Chef Umberto also recommended all the desserts, but his favorite is the Tiramisu as it is his grandmother recipe. I will need to go back just to try this! I really love their cheesecake too!

A dedication ceremony included members of the restaurant’s staff and executives from Disney and Patina Restaurant Group. Special guests Chef Mickey Mouse and Chef Goofy joined in the fun to round out the magical celebration.

Here are a few other fun photos from the restaurant:

This is the hand gesture wall, and each hand means something different! It is really cool!

If you like Mules, you MUST try the Mule Flight! It was so good, I loved them all, it was too hard to pick a favorite of the three.

And of course the pizza, you cannot come here and NOT have some pizza! Yum!

Cheers! Be sure to come down soon and check it out for yourself! 🙂

Naples is open for lunch and dinner. Napolini is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with to-go options. Both restaurants are located at Downtown Disney District, 1510 Disneyland Drive, Anaheim, CA 92802.
