Three new dining options will make their debut at Disney Springs by the end of 2017.

  • New Italian concept will replace Portobello
  • Wine Bar George will 100+ selections of wine
  • New Wolfgang Puck concept slated for 2018

Portobello Country Italian Trattoria, which closed this past April, will re-open with a new menu inspired by "Top Chef Master" Chef Tony Mantuano and his travels in Italy. Levy Restaurants made the announcement last month. The new restaurant is set to debut this fall.

For the wine lovers, Disney Springs will soon open Wine Bar George.  Master Sommelier George Miliotes will craft the wine list for the new venue, which will feature more than 100 wines for guests to enjoy, along with small plates, cheese and charcuterie options.

Finally, Disney Springs will add The Edison. Inspired by a sister location in Los Angeles, The Edison will deliver "classic American food, craft cocktails and live entertainment including cabaret" within a space inspired by a Jazz Age-era electric company building. The space will also feature contortionists, aerialists, DJs and more for guests to enjoy.

On Tuesday, Disney also announced two more restaurants would be joining the Disney Springs lineup in 2018.

According to a post on the Disney Parks Blog, renowned chef Wolfgang Puck will open the Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill in the Town Center area.

The new restaurant will be modeled after Puck’s flagship restaurant in Los Angeles and feature a “laid-back California” theme. The menu will feature dishes will Mediterranean influences, comfort foods and handcrafted specialty cocktails.

Puck currently has a restaurant located on the West Side, as well as quick service versions on the West Side and in the Marketplace area.

The other new dining offering slated for 2018 comes from chef Jose Andres and this ThinkFoodGroup.

Jaleo will feature Spanish cuisine with an “extensive menu of tapas.” The restaurant will be multi-level and have a grab-and-go store on the first floor.
