For larger groups, the private room is completely separate from the main dining area. You get your own space, your own menu, and a celebration that feels personal.

About Dining Near Universal Studios Orlando

Universal Orlando Resort includes Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and the CityWalk entertainment district. Visitors spend entire days immersed in rides, shows, and attractions. When the parks close, the search for dinner begins, and CityWalk can only absorb so much of the crowd.

The hotel restaurants near Universal serve their purpose, but they rarely deliver a memorable dining experience. And the further you get from the resort, the more the options blend into the International Drive chain restaurant landscape.

Ciao Italia Ristorante is worth the 12-minute drive south. Located on Westwood Boulevard near I-Drive, the restaurant has been family-owned since 1991. The Navarra family makes fresh pasta every morning, simmers sauces all day, and bakes bread in-house. The menu covers classic Italian dishes from antipasti through dessert.

After a high-energy day at Universal, the quiet dining room at Ciao Italia is a welcome contrast. Zagat-rated, 9 awards, 4,000+ reviews, and a kids menu that includes gelato for $13. It is the kind of restaurant people come back to year after year.
