Grab a seat at this welcoming sports bar, the perfect spot to cheer on your team while enjoying the spirit of the Italian Riviera. Brought to life by the Disney and Pixar film Luca, this intimate spot offers stunning views, your favorite drinks and all the big games on screen. Whimsical details, like an iconic red motor scooter parked inside, will have you feeling bellissimo in this breezy slice of Italian paradise.

The space has many Riviera-inspired pieces of decor—including glass jars and this Mickey-shaped artist palette with a Hidden Mickey inside. You’ll be able to see more decor in our YouTube video at the end of this post.

Full Menu

The menu is shaped like a Vespa, which is featured prominently in Luca. The back has a license plate with “DCL 125″—a reference to the Disney Adventure’s hull number. There is also a Vespa inside the lounge. They serve a variety of nonalcoholic and alcoholic beverages, as well as some specialties.

Our Review

Side-Car – $12

Absolut Pears | Bottega Limoncino | Grappa | Lemon

'Luca'-Themed Taverna Portorosso Sports Bar Side-Car drink on the Disney Adventure

This drink is very sweet for something that has grappa in it. It’s very well hidden. We mostly taste the pear and the limoncino. It tastes almost like a licorice candy, which is dangerous and may have you doing something unfortunate on a Vespa. However, the sweetness is also balanced out with the tartness, so it’s an excellent combination. Overall, we loved it.

Rating out of 7: 6

946 – $16

Angel’s Envy Bourbon | Campari | Carpano Antica Formula | Strawberry Clarified using dairy products

'Luca'-Themed Taverna Portorosso Sports Bar 946 drink on the Disney Adventure

The 946 has a flavor profile unlike any cocktail we’ve had at a Disney establishment before. It’s weird, but good-weird, not bad-weird. The drink tastes like an Old Fashioned if it was hit with Campari, and surprisingly, it works really well. It has a sweetness but also a bitterness, which may not work for everyone. We liked it a lot, though.

Rating out of 7: 5

150 Special – $12

Amaretto Disaronno | Campari Clarified using dairy products

This drink is very similar to the 946 because of the Campari, which makes it bitter. We noticed hints of citrus, but overall, this was an average drink.

Snack Mix

'Luca'-Themed Taverna Portorosso Sports Bar snack mix on the Disney Adventure

There is also a complimentary snack mix here, consisting of chocolate chips, banana chips, raisins, and either popcorn or caramelized pecans. It was half melted by the time we tried it because the space is partly outdoors, and the weather is really warm in Singapore right now—so warm, in fact, that our table had a small fan!
