Read on for how the soft opening works, where to find Casa Giulia in Disney Village, how it compares with Giulia Express and what the opening means for your trip.
When Does Casa Giulia Open At Disneyland Paris?
Casa Giulia's official opening date is Tuesday 1st December 2026. Disney is letting the first guests in a few days before that during a soft opening phase, when the restaurant's different areas will open one at a time.
The timing means Casa Giulia will be open well before English schools break up for Christmas (term dates vary by council), and in time for the Christmas decorations that arrive in Disney Village from November 2026. If you're still picking dates for a December trip, the price calendar linked below shows which days come in cheapest.

Where Is Casa Giulia In Disney Village?
Casa Giulia is a brand new building near the cinema and the World of Disney store, on the site where Planet Hollywood used to stand. When Disney first announced it in 2024, it said the restaurant would be directly accessible from the walkway that links the parks to the train and bus stations, and it is.
If you're walking in from the Disney Hotels, though, you won't find it at that end of Disney Village. It's further along, past the Royal Pub and towards Annette's Diner.

What's On The Casa Giulia Menu?
Casa Giulia is a family-friendly table-service restaurant with a menu of Italian classics that changes with the seasons, and Disney says the portions will be generous. The dishes named so far are Rosemary Mozzarella Croquettes and Beef and Veal Polpette (Italian meatballs), with a Pizza Tartufo, a truffle pizza, among them too.
There's a selection of Italian drinks and cocktails to go with it. Inside, the look is Italian architecture across two floors, using terrazzo, brick, wood and plenty of greenery.
What Is Giulia Express At Casa Giulia?
Giulia Express is the quick-service and takeaway side of Casa Giulia, with more than 80 seats split between its own indoor dining area and terrace. It serves pizza by the slice and focaccia, along with Italian pastries and ice cream, so it's the one to pick if you want a quick bite rather than a sit-down meal.
Add the two together and the building has more than 640 seats, with 560 in the main restaurant (440 indoors and 120 on the terrace) plus Giulia Express. Here's how the two compare.
| Feature | Casa Giulia | Giulia Express |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Table service | Quick-service and takeaway |
| Seats | 440 indoors over two floors, plus 120 on the terrace | More than 80 across the indoor area and terrace |
| Food | Seasonal Italian classics including croquettes, polpette and Pizza Tartufo | Pizza by the slice, focaccia, Italian pastries and ice cream |
| Drinks | Italian drinks and cocktails | See menu on arrival |
| Best suited for | A proper family meal or an evening dinner after the parks | A quick lunch, a snack or an ice cream on the go |

How Casa Giulia Has Changed Since It Was Announced
Casa Giulia was originally announced in October 2024 as a 2,500 m² Italian restaurant across two floors on the old Planet Hollywood site, due to open at some point in 2026.
By April 2026 we knew Bertrand Hospitality would be running it, with Giulia Express attached and a plan to open at the end of the year. In September 2026, Disney's latest Disney Village update was still saying "by the end of 2026". Two years after the first announcement, it now has a confirmed date of 1st December 2026.
What Casa Giulia Means For Your Disneyland Paris Trip
- Trips from 1st December 2026 get a new sit-down Italian option in Disney Village, near the cinema and World of Disney.
- Trips in the last few days of November may catch the soft opening, but only some areas will be open.
- Guests who want a quick lunch can use Giulia Express without booking a full meal.
If you've already booked a December trip, there's nothing to change apart from adding Casa Giulia to your list of dinner options. If you're still choosing dates, early December gets you the new restaurant and the Christmas decorations before the school holidays start.
