It was announced yesterday during D23 Expo and reports by Disney Parks Blog that there will be a new Space-themed dining experience opening in Epcot.
The restaurant will be located adjacent to the park’s Mission: SPACE attraction and will invite guests to travel into space for amazing dining experiences in the stars. “We know our guests love dining at Epcot – and the restaurants really are out of this world,” Walt Disney Imagineer Tom Fitzgerald said. “Now we’re about to create one that takes that literally.”
The new space restaurant will be operated by the Patina Restaurant Group, which already operated several restaurants as WDW including Tutto Italia and Via Napoli at Epcot and Morimoto Asia at Disney Springs.

Disney Parks Blog announced yesterday that this restaurant will be built in a newly developed area located between the park’s Mission: SPACE and Test Track attractions.
Once completed, the restaurant will invite guests to travel to space for an amazing dining experience in the stars. The new restaurant will be operated by the Patina Restaurant Group, which operates several other restaurants around Walt Disney World Resort, including Tutto Italia and Via Napoli at Epcot and Morimoto Asia and Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante at Disney Springs.
Here is an idea of the space they are talking about: Plus 104 seats in upper tier west.
Here is an updated report from Disney Parks Blog that mentions the new table-service experience will open later this year adjacent to the Mission: SPACE attraction! No dining experience on Earth can match what’s in store, because this new restaurant will take you into outer space for incredible dining experiences that are “out of this world.”
Patina Restaurant Group will operate the new restaurant, and they’ve developed a menu that features internationally-inspired cuisine, more than 1,000 bottles of the world’s finest wines and a wide selection of craft beer.
During the Parks panel at the D23 Expo 2019, it was confirmed that the upcoming space restaurant in Epcot will be named “Space 220 Restaurant”. The logo for the restaurant was also released, sporting a bold and futuristic font in front of a dreamy, starry sky.
Newly-released artwork also hints at the out-of-this-world experience the eatery will bring, taking aspiring astronauts of all ages to a culinary space station in the stars.

Disney Parks Blog reports that, "Also at World Discovery in Epcot, an expansion of the Mission: SPACE pavilion, the new restaurant Space 220, will open this winter as an out-of-this-world culinary experience with the celestial panorama of a space station, including daytime and nighttime views of Earth from 220 miles up."

I’m not a Star Wars fan, but I think this would be fun.

You do realize this isn't related to Star Wars or Disney's Hollywood Studios??

With Space 220 Restaurant already looking to hire a General Manager––an Captain, if you will––it seems more details are being finalized for the upcoming restaurant, which is set to debut adjacent to Mission: SPACE at EPCOT. Everything from cutlery to a final, updated opening month is being established for the upcoming restaurant.
In an article posted by Total Food Service, the procurement team at Patina Restaurant Group talked about the power of story with any restaurant concept, even when it comes to cutlery. Patina Restaurant Group, who owns more than 10 restaurants across Disney’s properties in the United States, including “The Edison,” and “Via Napoli,” among others, went over their choice of cutlery for their upcoming Space 220 restaurant in EPCOT.
The procurement team chose the “Tilia” pattern which they thought, would launch their new space-themed restaurant, off the ground:
“Tilia by Studio William really caught our eye due to its elongated shape. The line was extremely modern and had a space-age quality we couldn’t resist,” says Jaclyn Lerner, Art & Style Director for PRG.”
For those that are bored by details, there was a tiny bit of a hint of an opening date for the Space 220 restaurant hidden in the article. Total Food Service, when talking about the upcoming restaurant did mention a planned opening in April 2020:
“Next month, Patina Restaurant Group (PRG) is set to launch into space with the opening of Space 220 inside EPCOT Center.”
