A Date Night That Actually Feels Special
SeaWorld makes a great date. But the restaurants around the park? Most of them are chains that feel more like a cafeteria than a date night. Ciao Italia Ristorante is different. A warm Italian dining room, a solid wine list, homemade pasta, and the kind of atmosphere where you can actually have a conversation.
We are 3 minutes from SeaWorld on Westwood Boulevard. The dining room has a warm, intimate feel without being stuffy or pretentious.
Show your SeaWorld ticket and save 10% on dinner for two. Start with bruschetta or burrata. Share a bottle of Italian wine. Try the sacchetti di filetto or the linguine alle vongole. End with housemade dessert.
Wine, Pasta, and No Rush
The wine list features Italian reds and whites by the glass or bottle. Pair a bold red with our pappardelle al cinghiale or a crisp white with the linguine con scampi.
Ciao Italia is casual enough that you do not need to change after the park, but the food is good enough to make it feel like a special occasion.
Free parking, walk-ins welcome, open every night. No fuss, just a great dinner with someone you like.

About Dining Near SeaWorld Orlando
SeaWorld Orlando is one of Central Florida's most popular marine-life parks, drawing millions of visitors every year to its roller coasters, animal encounters, and live shows. Most families spend an entire day inside the park, and by the time the gates close, everyone is ready for a proper sit-down dinner.
The dining landscape around SeaWorld is dominated by chains and fast-food outlets along International Drive. While those options are convenient, they rarely deliver the kind of meal that makes a vacation memorable. Visitors looking for something beyond a burger and fries have to know where to look.
Ciao Italia Ristorante sits just south of SeaWorld on Westwood Boulevard, a quiet side street off International Drive. The Navarra family has been running this restaurant since 1991, serving homemade pasta, fresh bread, and Italian classics in a relaxed dining room. It is the kind of place where families walk in wearing park clothes and feel completely at home.
For SeaWorld visitors specifically, the location is hard to beat. The drive is about 3 minutes, parking is free, and the restaurant offers 10% off dinner when you show your SeaWorld ticket. After a long day of rides and shows, it is a welcome change of pace from theme park food.
