Show your Epic Universe ticket and save 10% on dinner for your entire table. That is a birthday deal you will not find at any chain.

Birthday Dinner After Epic Universe

After a full day at Epic Universe, the last thing you want is another loud, crowded food court. Ciao Italia is the opposite — a warm, comfortable Italian restaurant where the food is made from scratch and the service is personal.

For birthday groups, the private dining room is ideal. Custom menus, wine and beer packages, and a space that is completely yours. For smaller celebrations, the main dining room is welcoming and relaxed.

Families, couples, and groups all feel at home here. That is why people keep coming back after every trip to Orlando.
