Your all-inclusive day deserves a dinner that matches.
Your all-inclusive day deserves a dinner that matches.
You paid for one of the most premium experiences in Orlando. Limited attendance, personal animal encounters, all-inclusive food and drinks from morning to close. Discovery Cove handles every detail of your day. Until 5 PM, when the gates close and dinner becomes your problem.
The International Drive corridor has plenty of options, but most of them are built for volume. Large chains serving the same menu you can find in any city. After a day that felt personal and exclusive, settling for a chain restaurant feels like ending a great movie with a bad last scene.
Ciao Italia Ristorante sits on Westwood Boulevard, just off the main tourist corridor. The Navarra family has been running it since 1991, making everything from scratch with recipes they brought from Italy. The pasta is rolled in-house. The sauces simmer for hours. The bread is warm when it hits your table.
It is the kind of place that makes you slow down after a full day in the sun. The dining room is quiet. The tables are not crammed together. Your server gives you time to look at the menu, suggest a wine, and make sure you are comfortable before anything else happens.
Discovery Cove guests tend to show up hungry. After hours of swimming, snorkeling, and sun, most people want a real meal, not a quick bite. Here is what draws them in.
Fresh pasta layered with slow-cooked meat sauce, ricotta, and mozzarella. It is our most talked-about dish and the reason many families come back every trip.
Arborio rice cooked slowly with shrimp, mussels, clams, and calamari. Creamy and rich without being heavy, which is exactly what you want after a long day outdoors.
Seared to order, seasoned simply, and served with a rosemary reduction. For the adults who want something a little more special.
Pasta dishes kids actually eat, plus homemade gelato. The entire kids menu is $13. The food comes out fast, which matters when little ones are tired from a full day at the park.
