Family Dinner Near Universal Orlando
After the parks, skip CityWalk prices. Handmade Italian. $13 kids menu. Free parking.
Better Than CityWalk for Families
CityWalk has restaurants. They also have Universal theme park pricing, long waits, and noise levels that make conversation impossible. When your family wants a real sit-down dinner after a day at Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure, Ciao Italia is the better choice.
The Navarra family has been feeding post-park families since 1991. The pasta is handmade. The kids menu is $13 with gelato. The atmosphere is calm, casual, and welcoming. And the free parking means you are done paying Universal prices for the day.
A Real Dinner for Tired Families
After hours of rides, your family needs food that is worth sitting down for. Ciao Italia delivers: handmade sacchetti, fresh linguine with clams, chicken marsala, lasagna, risotto — all made from scratch. Kids eat spaghetti, ravioli, or chicken fingers and finish with gelato. Parents can finally relax with wine or beer and a real meal.
Open every night from 5 to 10 PM. Walk-ins welcome. Located at 6149 Westwood Blvd, Orlando. The family dinner near Universal that does not feel like an extension of the park.
