Family-owned Italian since 1991. 5-10 min drive. 10% off with your SeaWorld ticket.
Family-Owned Italian — Since 1991 — 6149 Westwood Blvd
Better Than the ICON Park Food Court
ICON Park has attractions and a food court, but when you want a real sit-down dinner — not another burger or overpriced appetizer — Ciao Italia is a 5 to 10-minute drive south on International Drive. The Navarra family has been serving authentic Italian here since 1991, long before ICON Park existed.
Everything is made from scratch. The Calamari Saltati is sauteed in white wine lemon butter — not fried, not frozen. The Bruschetta arrives on toasted ciabatta with fresh tomatoes and Parmigiano-Reggiano. For pasta, the Fettuccine Alfredo is creamy and rich, and the Linguine con Scampi has real shrimp in garlic butter. For something heartier, the Brasato — braised boneless short rib with red wine reduction and sundried tomato polenta — is outstanding.
Casual atmosphere. No dress code. Kids menu is $13 with gelato included. Wine and beer available. Show your SeaWorld, Aquatica, or Discovery Cove ticket for 10% off dinner. Open every night from 5 to 10 PM. Free parking.
