Amare

The Write-Up

The full story

Amare brings a calm, unhurried Mediterranean mood to the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve, a quiet room that feels a world away from the parks. The Ishkabubble Bread platter lands with dips and falafel that stays flavorful and moist, the kind of start tables love enough to order twice. Swordfish, scallops with couscous and Mediterranean wine flights carry the coastal thread at a relaxed, unhurried pace.
