The transformation of Disney Village keeps moving forward with a brand-new dining spot on the way! Starting December 1, 2026, Casa Giulia opens its doors to welcome visitors for a culinary escape straight to Italy. Before the big opening, the restaurant will welcome its first guests during a soft opening phase.

Casa Giulia: A New Italian Culinary Experience

Located right at the entrance of Disney Village near the World of Disney store, Casa Giulia invites guests to discover classic Italian dishes in a warm and friendly setting.

Run by Bertrand Hospitality, the team behind Brasserie Rosalie at Disneyland Paris, this new family-friendly table-service restaurant spans two levels. It features 440 indoor seats and a 120-seat outdoor terrace.

On the menu, guests find generous recipes inspired by Italian traditions made with seasonal ingredients. Highlights include rosemary and mozzarella croquettes, beef and veal meatballs, and a truffle pizza. A selection of Italian drinks and cocktails completes the menu.

The decor highlights traditional Italian materials and architectural styles, mixing terrazzo, bricks, wood, and greenery.

Giulia Express: Italian Flavors on the Go

Casa Giulia also features Giulia Express, a counter-service spot for quick bites and takeaway with over 80 indoor and terrace seats.

Visitors can grab pizza by the slice, focaccias, Italian pastries, and gelato. This dual setup gives visitors flexible options whether they want a sit-down family meal or a quick bite during a busy park day.

Ahead of the official December 1 opening, Casa Giulia opens its doors for a soft opening period. This lets the team fine-tune operations and ensure a smooth experience for every guest.

This milestone marks another step in the massive Disney Village makeover, bringing fresh dining, shopping, and entertainment options. As part of this evolution, the Rainforest Café permanently closes its doors on November 15, 2026, giving fans one last chance to enjoy its tropical vibe.
