The dinner you did not know was this close. Walk across the street tonight.
Most DoubleTree guests spend their first evening scrolling through restaurant apps, comparing options on International Drive, and trying to figure out if something is worth the drive. Then a front desk clerk, a fellow guest, or a quick search leads them to Ciao Italia — directly across the street. A 2-minute walk. And the first bite of handmade pasta makes them wonder why they considered going anywhere else. Ciao Italia has been here since 1991, serving families just like yours. The pasta is made fresh. The sauces are homemade. The bread is baked in-house. The staff treats you like a regular from the moment you walk in. This is dinner the way it should be.
Start with warm bread and olive oil while you look at the menu. Share a Burrata with prosciutto and arugula, or a Carpaccio di Manzo with capers and Parmigiano Reggiano. For the main course, the Tortellini con Brasato is braised beef with truffle cream — rich, comforting, and unforgettable. The Salmone Toscano is pan-seared with Tuscan herbs for something lighter. The Risotto alla Pescatora is the showstopper — loaded with clams, mussels, shrimp, and calamari. Pair it with Italian wine and finish with gelato. Walk back across the street satisfied. That is the Ciao Italia experience. 6149 Westwood Blvd. (407) 354-0770. And if you happen to have a SeaWorld, Aquatica, or Discovery Cove ticket from your trip, show it to your server and save 10% on dinner.
