DoubleTree by Hilton SeaWorld Orlando Dining
Personal dining, not hotel dining. Private dining available for groups.
Dining That Feels Like Someone Invited You Over
Hotel dining has its place, but it rarely feels personal. The menus are broad, the service is efficient but mechanical, and the food is designed to be acceptable to everyone. Ciao Italia is the opposite. Right across the street from DoubleTree by Hilton SeaWorld Orlando, this family-owned restaurant feels like being invited to someone's home for dinner. The owner works the floor. The servers know the menu by heart. The kitchen cooks every dish to order with recipes that have been in the family for decades. It is casual, warm, and genuine — the kind of dining experience that makes you forget you are in a tourist area.
