Discovery Cove Drinks Menu

Daytime Drinks at the Park. Dinner Wine at Ciao Italia.

Discovery Cove includes drinks with your all-inclusive ticket — beer, wine, and soft drinks throughout the day. That works great when you are floating the lazy river or relaxing on the beach. But when the park closes and dinner rolls around, the drinking experience changes. Ciao Italia offers a curated Italian wine list and beer selection that is designed to pair with real food. A glass of Chianti with the Pappardelle al Cinghiale. A crisp Pinot Grigio with the Linguine alle Vongole. A Montepulciano with the Pollo alla Parmigiana. These are pairings that elevate a good dinner into a great one. 5 minutes from Discovery Cove at 6149 Westwood Blvd. Show your ticket and save 10% on dinner.

Wine and Dinner, the Italian Way

In Italy, wine is not separate from dinner. It is part of the meal. At Ciao Italia, the Italian wine list is chosen to work with every dish on the menu. The reds pair beautifully with hearty pastas and braised meats. The whites complement seafood and lighter sauces. The staff can help you choose something that matches what you are eating, or you can explore on your own. This is not a nightclub. It is not a bar. It is a family restaurant where wine and beer are part of a relaxed Italian dinner. Bring the whole family — the kids get their $13 menu with gelato while the adults enjoy a proper glass of wine. 6149 Westwood Blvd. (407) 354-0770.

About Dining Near Discovery Cove

Discovery Cove offers a premium, all-inclusive experience that most guests describe as the highlight of their Orlando trip. Swimming with dolphins, feeding tropical birds, and floating through a lazy river surrounded by fish and rays makes for an unforgettable day.

The all-inclusive package covers breakfast and lunch inside the park, but dinner is not included. By the time guests leave Discovery Cove in the late afternoon, they are usually relaxed, happy, and ready for a real sit-down dinner that matches the quality of the day they just had.

The dining options immediately around Discovery Cove are limited. International Drive has volume, but most of the restaurants are designed for tourists in a hurry. If you want something with character, you need to step off the main drag.

Ciao Italia Ristorante is 5 minutes from Discovery Cove on Westwood Boulevard. The Navarra family has been cooking homemade Italian food here since 1991. Fresh pasta, lamb chops, seafood risotto, and a wine list that covers every Italian region. It is the kind of dinner that makes the whole day even better.
