The Four Seasons Resort at Walt Disney World will be hosting its Italian Festival January 29 – February 3, 2019 at Ravello restaurant again with a five-course white truffle dinner along with a special prix-fixe menu highlighting Italian cuisine.

Ravello’s Executive Chef Fabrizio Schenardi, who is from Torino, Italy, will welcome Italian guest chefs in partnership with the Region of Piedmont in Italy and the Italian Food Style Education (IFSE) Culinary School to present this year’s festival.

“I am very excited to welcome back the Italian Festival to Ravello,” says Schenardi. “I look forward to sharing the delicious white truffle with our guests and many Orlando locals.”

Ravello will welcome Chef Enrico Pivieri, a former student of IFSE and chef/owner of Il Cavallo Scosso restaurant, located in Asti, an area of Italy close to Milan and Genoa. Chef Pivieri has been recognized as one of Italy’s Top 100 Chefs in both 2018 and 2017, and the restaurant has received many accolades including a 1 forchetta, Italy’s equivalent to a Michelin Star rating.
