Value Hotel, Value Dinner
You chose Universal's Endless Summer Resort because it offers great value without sacrificing the Universal experience. Smart move. Now apply that same logic to dinner. The resort food options are limited, CityWalk is a budget trap, and the fast food around International Drive is not why you came to Orlando. Ciao Italia Ristorante gives you a real sit-down Italian dinner at prices that will not wreck your vacation budget.
The Navarra family opened Ciao Italia in 1991 and has been serving families ever since. The food is handmade, the portions are generous, and the kids menu is $13 with gelato included. For a family of four, you are looking at a real Italian dinner for less than what two people would spend at CityWalk.
Feed the Whole Family Without the Markup
Kids 10 and under eat for $13, and that includes gelato for dessert. The adult menu features handmade pastas, fresh seafood, veal, lamb, and chicken at prices that reflect a family restaurant, not a theme park captive audience. Free parking means no extra charges on top of the meal. This is dinner the way it should work on vacation.
The staff at Ciao Italia has been taking care of families with tired kids and exhausted parents for over three decades. They know how to make it easy. Relaxed pace, attentive service, and food that makes everyone at the table happy.
A Quick Drive from Endless Summer
Ciao Italia is at 6149 Westwood Blvd, about 12-15 minutes from Universal's Endless Summer Resort. The drive is simple, parking is free, and you will be seated quickly. After a long day of rides and walking, the short drive is worth every minute.
