We are all about food, but that shouldn’t come as a surprise since “Food” is literally our middle name! Now, we are obsessed with Disney World and Disneyland food, of course, but we have no problem leaving the parks to try out other restaurants, too.

Delizia Al Limone at Simply Capri
Well, a new restaurant is coming to the Orlando area soon, and it will sit right across from a restaurant that you should also consider leaving Disney World to check out.
The new restaurant is Flatlands Bar & Grill, and it’s the latest creation from Nick Valenti, who also owns Simply Capri (right across the street…and we’ll talk about that in a sec). He’s also a partner in Vivoli il Gelato’s U.S. locations (yep, as in Vivoli il Gelato in Disney Springs).
Flatlands Bar & Grill
Both Flatlands Bar & Grill and Simply Capri are located at Flamingo Crossings, which is less than 10 minutes from Disney World. Flatlands will be serving up fresh fish, steaks, gelato, and “the best burger in Florida.” Much of the menu will be made with local ingredients, with many drinks sourced from Florida breweries. The restaurant’s concept comes from the flatlands of Florida, as well as the people who have immigrated there.
Flatlands Bar and Grill
The restaurant will feature a huge bar, as well as a comfortable outdoor seating area. Inside, the decor will feature murals based on Florida, including a heavy emphasis on orange groves and citrus.

Valenti wants the restaurant to be a place you can visit every day, but with an upscale feel. It’s going to be perfect for celebrations, of course, but it’s also going to be good for a random day of the week when you just don’t feel like cooking.

Flatlands Bar & Grill is across the street from another restaurant Valenti owns, Simply Capri, which opened in 2023. Simply Capri is more of a casual spot with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We had a chance to visit the restaurant earlier this year, and let’s just say, we’ll be back.

Simply Capri
Some of the highlights of our meal at Simply Capri included Ossobucco Di Vetello and the Delizia Al Limone. But you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu there.
