La Cucina

[Zimmy]

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Clearly, you never tried the Tempesto Panini. I did not know people could make food that repulsive. Just thinking about it is making me queasy.

I have tried so hard to forget that... abomination.

 

[Irishman]

Bulk purple paint and bulk hotdogs !

Now this is a place I think should be scrapped and flipped into a members lounge. Nice overlook of Apollo's and RR, isolated from heavy traffic, perfect place. Idk what made me think of that. But yeah.

Would you think to keep it serving food and some beverages similar to a pub atmosphere?

I love the food and beverage service at the SWO member lounge. I would not love any of the food previously available at La Cucina, however.

 

[Ice]

I think a members lounge could include quick service food, not necessarily the style currently used at the restaurants. More snacks with drink stations. Maybe stuff that can be made at other restaurants, packed, and brought over for purchase. Like sandwiches and other simple food items that travel well. Almost like a workplace marketplace type deal.

FYI, the hotdog deal still works with membership discount. I wasn't expecting this because many times special things are considered "already discounted".

Makes the deal even better.

According to Busch Gardens website, La Cucina will now be offering Pantheon Pizza. Anyone wanna make a guess of what it will entail?

Probably basil and feta.

 

[Pretzel Kaiser]

If the previous La Cuchina pizza is anything to go by, Pantheon Pizza is going to be used lube and other mechanical remnants that maintenance switches out from the coaster.

 

[BGWnut]

La cucina is apparently getting a massive renovation that will significantly improve the restaurant. From what I'm told it won't be open and ready until memorial day.

That place would get more foot traffic were it not the case that every map-wielding guest can see it's plainly a dead-end section of the park.

Pantheon ought to drive traffic and business, at least for the next few years. A long-term solution (with no hope of occurring) would involve Festa no longer being a dead end. How lovely it would be to stroll through the Garden of the Gods and end up at the north end of the Oktoberfest bridge.

Park terrain is such a mixed blessing sometimes... certain San Marco vendors may have a strong opinion too.

Still. Nice to imagine.

Maybe the pizza will be better, now that people will be paying attention.

Now that season dining exists, my hype levels for new entrees is 10x greater.

 

[belsaas]

Okay, so I think we have to assume that—the the TemPesto Panini before it—the Pantheon Pizza will be a pun.

A Personal Pan-theon Pizza?

Or perhaps,

Pineapple
Artichoke
Nectarine
Tomato
Ham
Egg
Onion
Noodle

Pizza?

 

[FoozMuz]

Never before, have five roman cheeses come together in the new pantheon pizza!

 

[Thomas]

If it’s anything like the ride, the park’s marketing team will be unable to fully describe what the pizza offers in terms of toppings but will insist that none of it will matter once you eat it.

 

[Nibbins]

I wouldn't hype too much, considering that La Cucina is not included in the All-season dining plan.

 

[FoozMuz]

Oh that's a bummer. Hopefully they consider adding it now.

 

[GrandpaD]

Pantheon pizza - one bite and you'll say "ohhhh Gawwddd".

 

[Jahrules]

Pantheon pizza: if you eat the whole thing, it will send you to the underworld.
