DoubleTree by Hilton SeaWorld Orlando Food
Your hotel has room service. Across the street has a full handmade Italian kitchen.
Real Food Is Right Across the Street
The DoubleTree by Hilton at SeaWorld Orlando has its own dining options, and room service is always there in a pinch. But when you want a real dinner — the kind where someone takes your order, a chef cooks your meal, and you eat food that was made by hand an hour ago — walk across the street to Ciao Italia. This is a family-owned Italian restaurant with more than 40 dishes on the menu, all made from scratch daily. The pasta is handmade. The sauces simmer for hours. The bread is baked in-house. It takes 2 minutes to walk here from the DoubleTree lobby, and the upgrade in food quality is immediately obvious.

- Right across the street from DoubleTree
- Handmade pasta and fresh sauces
- Italian wine list and beer

What Made-From-Scratch Tastes Like
At Ciao Italia, made-from-scratch is not a marketing phrase. It is a daily practice. The pasta dough is made every morning. The bolognese starts simmering in the afternoon. The bread goes into the oven before service. When your Pollo alla Parmigiana arrives, the chicken is freshly breaded with house-made breadcrumbs, topped with fresh mozzarella, and served with marinara that was made that day. When the Risotto alla Pescatora comes out, the arborio rice was stirred to creamy perfection with a ladle of seafood stock and loaded with fresh shellfish. This is the difference between hotel food and real food. 6149 Westwood Blvd. (407) 354-0770. And if you happen to have a SeaWorld, Aquatica, or Discovery Cove ticket from your trip, show it to your server and save 10% on dinner.
