About Dining Near SeaWorld Orlando
SeaWorld Orlando is one of Central Florida's most popular marine-life parks, drawing millions of visitors every year to its roller coasters, animal encounters, and live shows. Most families spend an entire day inside the park, and by the time the gates close, everyone is ready for a proper sit-down dinner.
The dining landscape around SeaWorld is dominated by chains and fast-food outlets along International Drive. While those options are convenient, they rarely deliver the kind of meal that makes a vacation memorable. Visitors looking for something beyond a burger and fries have to know where to look.
Ciao Italia Ristorante sits just south of SeaWorld on Westwood Boulevard, a quiet side street off International Drive. The Navarra family has been running this restaurant since 1991, serving homemade pasta, fresh bread, and Italian classics in a relaxed dining room. It is the kind of place where families walk in wearing park clothes and feel completely at home.
For SeaWorld visitors specifically, the location is hard to beat. The drive is about 3 minutes, parking is free, and the restaurant offers 10% off dinner when you show your SeaWorld ticket. After a long day of rides and shows, it is a welcome change of pace from theme park food.
Getting to Ciao Italia from SeaWorld
Ciao Italia is roughly half a mile south of SeaWorld on Westwood Boulevard, on International Drive. The drive takes about 3 minutes with no highway involved. Turn right on Westwood from I-Drive and the restaurant is right there with free self-parking. If you are walking from nearby hotels, it is also an easy walk along International Drive.
