Tucked in a slightly out-of-the-way location near Maria & Enzo’s at Disney Springs, Enzo’s Hideaway has one of the most distinctive settings on property. The space is themed as a storied rum-runner tunnel and plays into a speakeasy atmosphere with Prohibition-era cocktails, hearty Italian-style dishes, and a Tunnel Bar known for lively bartenders, swinging music, and playful graffiti.
That backstory fits the experience perfectly. This dinner felt a little hidden, a little transportive, and very much like stepping away from the bustle of Disney Springs into a warm, candlelit space built for lingering over cocktails and amazing Italian food.
Speakeasy Cocktails with Personality
We started with two very different drinks, and both set the tone for the night.
The Key West Daiquiri was made with Planteray Pineapple, Diplomatico Planas, demerara, pineapple, and lime. It arrived with a beautiful, silky foam cap and a dried citrus garnish that made it look every bit as polished as a Disney Springs signature cocktail should. The pineapple and lime gave it a bright tropical edge, while the rum kept it grounded. It drank smooth and refreshing, with enough acidity to keep it lively rather than overly sweet.
The real showstopper, though, was Smuggler’s Courage. The menu describes it as a blend of Brugal 1888 rum and Woodford Reserve bourbon, brown-butter-washed and aged in charred American oak for 6–8 weeks, then enhanced tableside with house-made demerara syrup, barrel-aged bitters, and orange aroma. That tableside finish immediately made it feel like an occasion – complete with a peek at the aging barrels and a smoky glass container.
The drink itself had the depth and structure of an old-fashioned, but with a richer, more layered personality from the rum-bourbon combination.
This is exactly the kind of cocktail that matches Enzo’s Hideaway’s backstory and makes the bar program feel special. I’m not a bourbon expert, but I am a bourbon fan who has enjoyed more than a few old-fashioned drinks. This unique take on a bourbon and rum drink earned a spot at the top of my list of bourbon experiences.
A Shareable Start Worth Ordering
The appetizer course was the Cured Meats & Artisan Cheeses board, and it was a strong start.
The menu lists prosciutto di Parma, mortadella, salame calabrese piccante, 24-month Parmigiano-Reggiano, gorgonzola dolce, Moliterno, marinated olives, local honey, pickled peppers, and grissini, and it serves two. On the table, it felt generous and thoughtfully composed. There was a nice balance between salt, creaminess, heat, and sweetness, especially when pairing the cheeses with the honey or the meats with the pickled peppers.
This is one of those boards that works especially well in a group setting because every bite can be a little different. It also felt very much in line with what the restaurant says about its Roman-style, shareable approach.
Main Courses That Brought Comfort and Polish
For the entrées, we had a crisp chicken cutlet and a beautifully seared steak, and both dishes leaned into that satisfying, classic style that fits the restaurant so well.
The chicken cutlet was golden and crunchy, topped with a shower of shaved cheese and served with a fresh green salad alongside cherry tomatoes, red onion, and a grilled lemon. It was simple in the best way. The contrast between the crispy cutlet and the bright salad kept the plate from feeling heavy, and the lemon added exactly the kind of lift you want with a breaded entrée.
The steak had that deep, caramelized exterior that immediately tells you it was handled with care. It was plated with small potatoes, asparagus, and a glossy sauce that gave the dish a richer, steakhouse-style finish. Between the two main courses, the chicken felt bright and classic, while the steak brought a more indulgent, date-night energy.
A Sweet Finish with Two Different Moods
Dessert gave us two very different endings to the meal.
The Torta All’Olio di Limone — a lemon olive oil cake with whipped mascarpone, lemon curd, and fresh strawberries — was light, elegant, and a great choice for anyone who likes desserts that finish fresh rather than overly rich. The olive oil cake had a tender crumb, and the mascarpone and lemon curd gave it a creamy-citrusy contrast that worked beautifully with the strawberries.
Then there was the Tiramisù, described on the menu as espresso mascarpone cream, ladyfinger cookies, and cocoa powder. This one was more classic and comforting and was definitely big enough to share. It has the soft layered texture tiramisu fans want. The cocoa topping gave it a slightly bittersweet finish that kept it balanced. After the brighter lemon cake, the tiramisu felt like the cozier, more traditional ending.
A Hidden Standout At Disney Springs
What makes Enzo’s Hideaway memorable is not just the food, but how well the concept, setting, and menu work together. It evokes a rum-runner tunnel with Prohibition-era cocktails and hearty Italian dishes.
From the theatrical presentation of Smuggler’s Courage to the generous charcuterie board to the comforting mains and polished desserts, the evening felt thoughtfully paced and genuinely enjoyable. It was a sponsored dinner, but it was also the kind of meal that makes a strong case for returning on your own, especially if you’re looking for a Disney Springs restaurant that feels a little more tucked away and atmospheric than the usual big, bustling dining rooms.
Enzo’s Hideaway delivers that rare combination of themed setting and genuinely enjoyable food and drink — and that makes it an easy one to recommend.
