The pasta is homemade daily, the sauces are made from scratch, and the dining room is warm and comfortable — exactly what you need after a magical day at the park.

A Special Day Deserves a Real Dinner
Discovery Cove is a premium experience. The tickets are not cheap, and the day itself feels like something out of a dream. Swimming with dolphins, floating through an aviary, snorkeling over a coral reef. You do not get that kind of day very often.
After a day like that, the last thing you want is to end up at a generic chain restaurant. Ciao Italia is a real Italian restaurant with a 35-year history. The linguine alle vongole is made with fresh clams. The lamb chops come with homemade mashed potatoes. The tiramisu is housemade. This is the kind of dinner that matches your day.
And with 10% off for Discovery Cove ticket holders, you can treat your table to something special without breaking the budget even further.
