About Dining Near Disney World Orlando
Walt Disney World is the largest and most visited theme park resort in the world. With four parks, two water parks, Disney Springs, and dozens of resort hotels, the dining options are overwhelming. But many of them come with Disney prices, long waits, and reservation systems that fill up weeks in advance.
For visitors staying near Disney who want a great dinner without the Disney markup, the surrounding area has options, but most are chains. The Kissimmee and International Drive corridors are packed with restaurants that cater to tourists but rarely deliver anything exceptional.
Ciao Italia Ristorante is about 20 minutes from Disney World on Westwood Boulevard, near International Drive. The Navarra family has owned and operated this Italian restaurant since 1991. Everything is made from scratch: pasta, bread, sauces, and desserts. The menu features classic Italian dishes, fresh seafood, veal, and lamb chops.
The restaurant is casual, family-friendly, and priced fairly. There is no dress code, the kids menu is $13 with gelato, and parking is free. After spending a fortune inside Disney, a homemade Italian dinner at an independent family restaurant is a welcome change.
