Orlando – The Four Seasons Orlando’s executive chef is Italian, and he spearheads crazy-good Italian events at the hotel, which is located within Disney World boundaries. Next up is the Italian Festival, to be held at Ravello, an Italian restaurant. The highlight will be a five-course truffle dinner on February 1.
