Skip the hotel restaurant. Handmade Italian a 10-minute drive from your room. 10% off with your SeaWorld ticket.
Family-Owned Italian — Since 1991 — 6149 Westwood Blvd
Your Best Dinner Option Tonight
After a day at the parks — or a long afternoon by the pool — the last thing you want is another hotel buffet or another chain restaurant with laminated menus. Convention attendees, golfers, and resort guests at Rosen Shingle Creek have a better option a 10-minute drive away on International Drive.
Ciao Italia Ristorante has been open since 1991. The Navarra family cooks everything from scratch, every night. Handmade pasta. Fresh sauces simmered all afternoon. Seafood that arrives daily. An Italian wine list and beer selection chosen to pair with the food. Dinner here is not a compromise — it is the highlight of the evening.
What to Order Tonight
Start with Bruschetta on toasted ciabatta or Burrata with prosciutto di Parma and sundried tomato vinaigrette. Move to a handmade pasta — the Pappardelle al Cinghiale with wild boar ragu and porcini mushrooms, or the Tortellini with braised beef and truffle cream. For something lighter, the Salmone Toscano is pan-seared with Tuscan herbs.
Kids eat for $13 with gelato included. The Spaghetti and Meatball is a crowd favorite. Steak bites and Kids Ravioli are favorites. Upscale vibes, casual comfort. No dress code.
