Why Fairfield Inn SeaWorld Guests Choose Ciao Italia Over Chains
The chain restaurants along International Drive serve reheated food from commissary kitchens. The hotel lobby options mark up average food and call it convenience. Neither is worth your time or money when Ciao Italia is 5 minutes away with free parking.
The pasta is rolled and cut in the kitchen. The sauces simmer all afternoon. The Chicken Parmigiana is breaded and cooked to order. The Risotto alla Pescatora is loaded with clams, mussels, shrimp, and calamari — real seafood, not the frozen medley you get at a chain. This is the food that earned 4,000+ reviews.
It is a quick 5-minute drive with free parking at Ciao Italia. Pull into the free lot and walk right in.
