FOODIE FRIDAY! Vivoli il Gelato at Disney Springs

On my last trip another place that had to get scratched from my list was Vivoli il Gelato, located at The Landings at Disney Springs.

 I was really looking forward to trying this, but once again..........too much food, not enough appetite or time!

I think the next trip we take needs to be 10 days, and allow at least 5 days just for eating!
"Experience the hand-crafted goodness of Italian gelati, sorbetti, espresso drinks and more. After 85 years, this world-famous, family-run gelato shop from Florence, Italy has chosen to open its second storefront in history—right at Disney Springs! "

The items on the menu here look amazing...........and I know I would have a hard time trying to pick.

Tied for the top spot are the Crema and Pistacchio flavors of gelato, and the Tiramisu Shake!
The complete menu is posted below.

PLEASE NOTE: Guests may consult with a chef or special diets trained Cast Member before placing an order. We use reasonable efforts in our sourcing, preparation and handling procedures to avoid the introduction of the named allergens into allergy-friendly menu choices. While we take steps to prevent cross-contact, we do not have separate allergy-friendly kitchens and are unable to guarantee that a menu item is completely free of allergens. Allergy-friendly offerings are reliant on supplier ingredient labels. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of the contents of each food item. Allergen advisory statements (e.g.,”may contain") are not regulated and therefore not taken into consideration when developing allergy-friendly meals. It is ultimately our Guests' discretion to make an informed choice based upon their individual dietary needs.
