The new look Portobello is now free of construction walls. Looks like they did a nice job of refurbing this location. Photos at

Right between Raglan Road and Fultons Crab House in Pleasure Island.

Looks good. Just another step in what DTD will be.

And 10 steps further away from what PI ever was...

Looks really nice. Has there always been seating outside? Any pics of the inside?

Oh wow. It actually looks like it belongs in Downtown Disney now.

I had heard somewhere that Portobello is no longer a Levy restaurant and is now fully Disney. Does the ownership change coincide with the remodel? And more importantly, what is on this new menu? This has been one of our favorite places for a while now and I'm hoping we will still want to go there.

Where did you hear that?

I doubt very, very much that's the case (and I hope not or the quality will surely plummet) as Disney is looking to run fewer places, not run more.

Portobello is one of my favorite reasonable places to dine at WDW. And they owe me a free pizza anyway.

I hear ya - I wouldn't want to see a change in quality either. I looked at Levy's website and it seems to be updated. Portobello has the new font from the sign and the menu looks different, so maybe there's nothing to that. I think we heard it from someone who saw our Levy preferred card and mentioned that we wouldn't be able to use it there anymore. :shrug:
