As part of today's dedication ceremony for the four new Patina Group Restaurants at Disney Springs, we got a look inside the soon-to-open Maria & Enzo's.

Inside Maria & Enzo's

Set in the 19030's era former airline terminal, the Italian trattoria features an elegant central dining room on two levels and a first class lounge.

The dining room is open and airy, featuring 50-foot ceilings with views of Lake Buena Vista. The restaurant interiors showcase artifacts that reference air travel of the time, with maps and historic flight paths.

A full wrap around mural depicts destinations once served by the air terminal, and is geographically correct - so when you look towards New York on the mural, you really are looking towards New York.

High up on on the ceiling is a globe chandelier, with various significant Disney locations marked - including the theme parks, and Marceline, Missouri - the hometown of Walt Disney.

Seating is a mix of booths and tables, while the majority of the dining area is on the lower level, there are balconies above that will have additional seating.

Off from the main departure lounge dining room is the first class lounge, which offers an even higher level of service.

Went here for dinner a few weeks back. We had the burrata salad, chicken parm and Busiate con Granchio (pasta/lump crab meat). The presentation felt very bare. In addition the chicken parm (intentionally) had the nub of a bone on it, which felt very, very strange. Overall we felt that the quality of the entrees was about as good as an olive garden. That's also ignoring the extra markup being at Disney Springs brings. We will not be dining there again, but will hopefully be trying the Hideaway soon.

Happy Easter! This isn’t big news or anything, but we had the Easter Sunday Brunch at Maria & Enzo’stoday. It was a phenomenal experience. Prices were $35 adult and $15 for kids. First time there and I thought that it was a beautiful location. I literally almost had everything in the buffet. They are considering doing a smaller version of this every Sunday. I just hope they keep this Easter brunch. Definitely the best buffet on property.

I thought Walt's plane would be in there somewhere. Oh well.

Right. I haven't seen the inside in person but when I saw these pictures I thought, I like it. It's just a feeling that doesn't require specifics. Now I will say, when I saw it from the outside last weekend I thought the Hideaway signage was a bit overdone and gaudy. Seems like it should be more 'secret' like the Morimoto hidden bar entrance. Just to be more fun. JMO, I'm not outraged about it.

Looks like the main dining room on a cruise ship.

It's not what I would have expected, but I think it's nice. But I can also see why people dislike it. I don't think Maria and Enzo's was necessary based on the other restaurants around and what's offered. Would have liked to have seen Walt's come to light instead. Oh well.

You know. If you think of it as a "Vegas night club" the layout and shape of the ballroom make sense. Put the DJ booth were the grand staircase is and you have a layout that you'll see in a few Vegas clubs. The odd 1st class lounge, starts to make sense as a side bar area. The high ceiling, the balancy area around it on the 2nd floor, all make sense. (granted, the color / finishes would change) But if you then think about it, as "it was going to be a nightclub, but... crap how can we ..... make into this avation themed thing.. that serves pasta... for no real reason..." then, it makes even MORE sense and if then assuem they were so far out of the box and had to borrow the sailor uniforms from the boat house.. then you've nailed it!
