Wine Country Trattoria

Wine Country Trattoria

I am convinced that this one of the first places built in California Adventure. No expense was spared, it doesn’t look like it was built in a rush, it’s not out of place, and it looks like something Walt Disney would have designed himself, (kudos for DCA for doing something right…now lets do something with the rest of the park; I digress). From the outside it has the ere of a real vineyard, and on the inside the understate beauty of wine county. In other words it’s simple, uncomplicated, yet well themed.
Wine Country Trattoria is located on the bottom floor of an adobe-mission style building (upstairs is the Vineyard Room). Choose to sit outside on the patio for an ugly view of the Bug’s Life land or inside. My preference is inside. The space is split up into different rooms so there is a more laid back feel then a cafeteria atmosphere. Inside the walls are decorated with simple crafts that help create a somber feel to the room. Although there isn’t much to look at the real attraction is the open kitchen. This is where all of the action is taking place. Waiters run back and forth with orders while the cooks prepare everything fresh.
Thus far I think that Wine Country Trattoria offers one of the best menus in either park. However this isn’t really a kid friendly place. This is a nice; sit down restaurant with food catered to the adult pallet. Outside they post their menu to review before they take your name for seating. Check it out to see if there is anything your child will eat before entering. After seeing the menu that was what persuaded me to try the place.
The restaurant offers a variety of items that can’t be found in the rest of the park. They serve harvest minestrone soup ($5.49), pizzeta salad with Italians dressing ($9.99), Caprese Sandwich on pretzel bread ($9.99), or a chicken panini ($10.29). It was the lasagnas that took my eye. There choices included lasagna rustica with meat sauce for 12.79 and roasted vegetable lasagna with zucchini, red bell peppers, eggplant, and basil garlic mariner sauce for $12.79. I ordered the chicken alfredo lasagna ($12.79).
While I waited for my lasagna my waiter brought me a delicious basket of garlic bread. When my food arrived I was in heaven. There were layers of pasta separated between tender, citrus marinated chicken and spinach. All of this covered with creamy alfredo sauce. It was heaven. When I finished eating I didn’t want to leave anything on my plate, so I used the garlic bread to wipe up the remains of the alfredo sauce.
My waiter tried to tempt me with their desserts such as tiramisu ($4.99), orange sorber ($4.99), or Trattoria chocolate crème ($4.99). All so tempting, but I just couldn’t eat any more.
As I left the restaurant I walked around the patio. The sun was setting and more people were arriving at Wine Country. I found a small out door wine tasting area that had sprung to life next door. I also learned that they sold bottles of California wines; however guests aren’t allowed to carry the bottles around the park, so the bottles are sent to the gate for pick up.
