Naples and Napolini Restaurants at Downtown Disney
The Naples Restaurant, specializes in "southern Italian cuisine," to be specific. This is your choice among the Downtown Disney Restaurants if you're looking for some fine pasta dishes...and pizza, as well.
Pizza, in fact, is a specialty of the house at Naples Restaurant. Naples features hand-tossed pizzas...cooked in wood burning ovens designed to "bring out the best" in the flavor of the pizzas.Aside from the variety of pasta dishes (which feature a variety of meats, seafood, cheeses and sauces), you'll find a selection of main dish salads at Naples. The Naples Restaurant dessert specialty is their homemade gelato, which, customers are assured, is "real Italian style." Desserts and beverages are priced separately from the pizza and entrees, and altogether, you can expect the cost per-person to run in the $18--30 price range, depending on what you order. Sandwiches, priced $10-15, are served before 5 pm.

Downtown Disney Restaurants -- Tortilla Jo's
Tortilla Jo's is the place to order Mexican specialties while you're at Downtown Disney Anaheim. (FYI: You do need to know that the town of Anaheim itself...and all of Orange County, in general...is loaded with Mexican restaurants, most of which will be cheaper than Tortilla Jo's. Tortilla Jo's is simply more convenient for the busy theme-park goer...as well as for out-of-town guests staying at the Disney Resort Hotels...who may not have a car with them.)Tortilla Jo's is a very attractive restaurant. You'll find 2 sides here---the restaurant and The Cantina (bar.) The restaurant is divided into a "counter service" taqueria, and a sit-down, table-service restaurant. There are different menus for all 3 areas within Tortilla Jo's (with the walk-up counter featuring the least expensive prices---but most restricted menu---of the three. There is also a special children's menu.
Live Mariachis play at the Cantina Wednesday through Sunday from 3 pm to 1 am. (Mariachi music is a Mexican genre developed in the central Mexican city of Guadalajara. Performers dress in matching Mariachi outfits, cut from a solid color fabric and trimmed with braid. They wear large, ornate, matching sombreros. Black is a traditional color for the mariachi outfits, though these days, they can be of any color. Strings were the traditional Mariachi instruments (guitars, violins) until radio was invented. Since string-only groups didn't create a loud enough sound to carry over the radio, brass instruments (notably trumpets) were added to the Mariachi mix. (My daughter lived in Guadalajara for 6 years, so I learned a bit about Mariachi music during my visits to that interesting city.)But, back to the restaurant: The Tortilla Jo's menu features many "tapas" or appetizers...including taquitos, "drowned" nachos and quesadillas. You'll find a hand-made tortilla station, fresh ceviche (a shrimp-and-lime dish), and many more Mexican favorites on the menu. The full-service side of the restaurant has a wider selection---and more-filling entrees---than you'll find in the taqueria. On the other hand, if you're looking for a quick bite or in eating a meal that won't take much of your time away from the theme park rides, then the Taqueria is your better choice. The Tortilla Jo's Restaurant address is--- The Tortilla Jo's phone number is 714/535-5000 Directions to Tortilla Jo's Restaurant in Downtown Disney Anaheim Tortilla Jo's has their own website where you may find a whole slew of menus WITH prices---main menu, Taqueria menu, kids menu and Cantina menu.

Catal Mediterranean Restaurant and Uva Bar
Catal, another of the Downtown Disney Restaurants---seen here in this photo---is actually 3 restaurants in one: The upstairs fine-dining restaurant; the downstairs cafe; and the outdoors Uva Bar. Each of these three restaurants-within-a-restaurant has its own personality.The Catal Restaurant's upstairs dining area is perhaps the most expensive restaurant at Downtown Disney Anaheim. The big controversy surrounding this fact is, "Is the price worth what Catal delivers?" Many people feel that it's not worth the big bucks. Others do...enthusiastically. Only YOU can decide that question for yourself. Catal features a Mediterranean style cuisine. You'll find grilled seafood, poultry, salads and pastas on the menu. Care is taken to the "presentation" of the food...but some people feel that Catal sacrifices adequate portion sizes to achieve the artistic look of the plate. The look of the restaurant is either hip and urban---or bland and beige---depending on how you look at the situation. All agree, though, that choosing the balcony dining gives an excellent view of the passersby in Downtown Disney below. So, just what IS that controversial "high price tag" that I mentioned above? Well...don't expect to leave Catal without paying $30--50 per person, depending on your food and beverage selections. Many people think that the Uva Bar is the best of the Downtown Disney Restaurants for people watching, and a nice spot for dads to wait while Mom & the girls are at Build A Bear Workshop or Club Libby Lu. The 3rd area in which you may eat is the "inside-but-downstairs" section of the restaurant. Catal's downstairs area shares a menu with the Uva Bar, and features a more casual atmosphere than it's upstairs sister. In addition, Catal's downstairs restaurant is open for breakfast.
