A delightful new restaurant is set to grace the entrance of Disney Village: Casa Giulia. This charming Italian restaurant from Disneyland Paris is expected to open its doors by late 2026, taking the place of the former Planet Hollywood. Curious about what magical culinary experiences await you? Below, we share all the enchanting details we know so far.
What is Casa Giulia?
Casa Giulia is a brand-new restaurant concept from the Bertrand Group, a name familiar to many as they successfully operate several other dining establishments within Disney Village. It promises to be a wonderful family-friendly restaurant, serving classic Italian dishes with a delightful gastronomic touch. Imagine delicious pasta, authentic pizza, and other delightful dishes perfect for sharing around the table – creating that wonderful atmosphere ideal for a memorable family evening out in Disney Village.
The restaurant will span two floors, offering space for over 500 guests, and is rumoured to boast beautiful views across Disney Village. There will also be a convenient separate counter-service section, known as Giulia Express. Here, from early morning until late evening, you can grab tasty pizza slices, fresh focaccia, delightful pastries, and delicious gelato – perfect if you prefer a quick bite between your magical adventures.
Where and When Will Casa Giulia Open?
Casa Giulia will be located in a truly prominent spot: right at the entrance of Disney Village, at the crossroads of the main pedestrian promenades. This is precisely the path you take when walking from the train station or bus stops towards the Disney Parks – meaning you’ll almost certainly pass by during your visit, adding to the excitement!
Construction is now well underway and clearly visible: the façade was unveiled in spring 2026, and building work is progressing steadily this summer. Disneyland Paris is currently aiming for a “late 2026” opening, though construction schedules can sometimes lead to slight adjustments. As soon as an exact opening date is announced, we will be sure to update this article for you.
What Delicious Food Can You Expect?
While the full menu is still being finalised, Disneyland Paris has hinted at hearty, seasonal Italian dishes for the table-service restaurant, complemented by lighter, quicker options at Giulia Express. For families who have just enjoyed a magical day exploring the parks, this offers a wonderful combination: a leisurely sit-down meal if you’re in the mood, or simply grabbing a delicious pizza slice and a scoop of gelato to enjoy as your evening unfolds.
What Does This Mean for Your Visit?
Are you planning a magical visit to Disneyland Paris for late 2026 or 2027? Then Casa Giulia will be a fantastic new option if you’re looking for a delightful and affordable family evening out in Disney Village. Giulia Express, in particular, will be wonderfully convenient if you’re visiting with little ones: no lengthy waits at a table, just a quick grab of something delicious, allowing you to continue enjoying your enchanting evening.
Kevin’s tip
If you prefer to secure a peaceful table-service spot, we recommend checking the reservation options as soon as Casa Giulia opens. Just like other popular restaurants in Disney Village, it can get quite busy during peak dining hours – an earlier or later reservation often provides a more relaxed experience.

Welcome to KTW Magazine! I’m Kevin Schrier, the founder of this platform. My passion for Disney began in the opening year of Disneyland Paris, in 1992, when I visited the park with my whole family – my parents and my brother. I was only three years old at the time.
After that first trip, the park quickly became the setting for a very special tradition between my mother and me. Our exclusive trips together created a magical bond that makes this place extra special to me.
With KTW Magazine I combine my years of experience with the latest news and practical tips and tricks. I love sharing my knowledge and inspiring other visitors for a carefree and unforgettable trip to Disneyland Paris.
