It is 6:30 PM. You just walked 15,000 steps at SeaWorld. The five-year-old is having feelings about leaving the dolphins. The eight-year-old wants chicken fingers for the fourth time today. And you, the adult who organized this entire vacation, would like to eat something that does not come in a paper basket.
Ciao Italia is minutes from SeaWorld on Westwood Blvd. The Navarra family has been feeding families here since 1991. Kids get their own menu for $13 with gelato included. Parents get homemade pasta, fresh seafood, and a glass of wine. Everyone sits down at a real table, in a real restaurant, and nobody has to stand in line.
The food comes out fast enough that kids do not lose it before the plates arrive, but slow enough that the adults actually get to enjoy the meal. That balance took 35 years to perfect.
The kids menu is $13 and includes gelato for dessert. Pasta dishes that kids genuinely enjoy, served quickly. No fighting over what to order, no sticker shock when the bill comes. Homemade gelato seals the deal.
Homemade lasagna. Seafood risotto with shrimp, mussels, and clams. Linguine alle vongole. Chicken parmigiana. Braised short rib. Grilled lamb chops. This is the part of dinner where you remind yourself why you planned this trip in the first place.
Start with bruschetta or a charcuterie board for the table. Or order your own appetizer and do not share. After a day at SeaWorld, nobody will judge you.
From SeaWorld's exit, head to Westwood Blvd. Ciao Italia is at 6149 Westwood Blvd, just a few minutes away. Free parking right at the restaurant. No parking garages, no valet fees, no hassle.
If you are staying at one of the nearby hotels on Westwood Blvd or International Drive, we are close to everything. Many families come here on their first SeaWorld night and come back every night of the trip.
