Close Enough to Be Convenient

Ciao Italia is at 6149 Westwood Blvd, just off International Drive. From Islands of Adventure, you head south on I-Drive. The drive takes about 15 minutes depending on traffic. It is close enough to be convenient but far enough from the parks to feel like a real escape from the tourist machine.

If you are also visiting Epic Universe or Universal Studios during your trip, Ciao Italia is perfectly positioned between all three parks.

Reservations

Open 7 nights a week, 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Reservations strongly recommended during peak Universal season. Call (407) 354-0770 or book online.
