About Dining Near Discovery Cove
Discovery Cove is unlike any other attraction in Orlando. It is a small, all-inclusive day resort where guests swim with dolphins, snorkel through coral reefs, and relax on white-sand beaches. The experience is intimate, limited to a set number of visitors per day, and it creates the kind of relaxed mood that deserves an equally thoughtful dinner.
Discovery Cove includes meals during the day, but once you leave the park in the late afternoon, you are on your own for dinner. The surrounding area is the same International Drive corridor shared by SeaWorld and Aquatica, which means the usual assortment of chains and fast-food outlets.
Ciao Italia Ristorante is a much better option. Located on Westwood Boulevard about 5 minutes from Discovery Cove, this family-owned Italian restaurant has been serving homemade food since 1991. The atmosphere is relaxed and unhurried, which matches the pace of a Discovery Cove day perfectly.
Show your Discovery Cove ticket or reservation confirmation to your server and receive 10% off dinner for the whole table. The kids menu is $13 with gelato, parking is free, and walk-ins are welcome every night from 5 to 10 PM.
