Walt Disney World Swan Resort.\u00a0 We have dined at this restaurant many times in the past, but this was our first time dining here with a special dietary restriction, a gluten-intolerance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/DSCF1428.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter

Disney World Swan is technically an EPCOT area resort, but it is not a resort that is owned by the Disney Company.\u00a0 It\u2019s actually run by Westin, but guests that stay there do get to take advantage of Extra Magic Hours and transportation around the resort.\u00a0 To date, you are also able to make Advanced Dining Reservations for restaurants at the Swan (and at the Dolphin as well) using My Magic+.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/DSCF1575.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full

Mulino as the first diners of the evening.\u00a0 We made our reservations for the earliest time we could make, 5:00pm., which we chose on purpose, knowing that it would be easier on the kitchen staff to accommodate our dietary restriction without having to re-wash pots and pans prior to preparing our meal.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike most of the Table Service restaurants on property, when we were seated, the chef did not come out and talk to us about our meal options.\u00a0 Generally this would make me uneasy, but the waiter was incredibly knowledgeable about what was, or could be made, gluten free.\u00a0 There were so many options to choose from, that it was difficult to decide what to order!<\/p>\n<p>Once we selected our meals, our waiter brought over a cold eggplant bruschetta, some salami, and gluten free Ener-G rolls (warmed to perfection), with some olive oil to dip it in.\u00a0 Authentically Italian, and oh-so-yummy.<\/p>\n<p><a

out our meals.\u00a0 My husband ordered the Rigatoni Con Funghi, substituting gluten-free pasta for the rigatoni.\u00a0 This was a pasta with wild mushrooms, garlic, and truffle oil.\u00a0 He ate every single bite (except for a few bites that I stole).\u00a0 It was incredible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_0788.jpg\"><img

width=\"500\" height=\"373\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I ordered a half-portion of the Pappardelle, and substituted gluten-free pasta to go with the tomato basil sauce.\u00a0 This is actually the dish I have ordered each time I have dined there!\u00a0 So fresh and wonderful.\u00a0 And a perfect size for me!<\/p>\n<p><a

actually concerned that they hadn\u2019t served us gluten-free pasta.\u00a0 It surely didn\u2019t taste like the rice pasta I make at home.\u00a0 It turns out, they use a non-GMO gluten-free corn pasta from Italy!\u00a0 How cool is that?<\/p>\n<p>I do have to say, il Mulino is on our dining list for our next trip to the World.\u00a0 The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable about food allergies, the food is amazing, the restaurant is a lot less hectic than other Italian restaurants on property, and I truly can\u2019t recommend it enough!<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not you have a food allergy, il Mulino is a can&#8217;t-miss restaurant!\u00a0 If you haven\u2019t been, what are you waiting for?\u00a0 Happy dining!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Incoming search
