Family Restaurant Near Epic Universe Orlando
After the rides, real Italian food for the family. Handmade pasta. Kids menu. Free parking.
The Family Dinner After Epic Universe
Epic Universe is Universal's biggest theme park — and the food inside is priced to match. When the park closes and the family is hungry, skip the on-site restaurants and head to Ciao Italia Ristorante. The Navarra family has been feeding theme park families since 1991 with handmade Italian food, a $13 kids menu with gelato, and the kind of relaxed atmosphere that tired families need.
The kids pick from seven menu options — spaghetti, ravioli, Alfredo, chicken fingers, meatballs — all freshly made. Parents get real Italian food: handmade pasta, fresh seafood, chicken marsala, veal, lamb chops. Wine and beer are available. And the free parking lot means no more paying for parking today.
A Calm End to an Epic Day
After hours of rides, shows, and walking through themed worlds, your family needs a calm place to sit down and eat real food. Ciao Italia is casual, warm, and quiet compared to the park. Highchairs are available. The staff knows tired families. The bread comes out fast. The kids eat and end with gelato.
Open every night from 5 to 10 PM. Walk-ins welcome. Call (407) 354-0770 for groups of 6 or more. The family restaurant that makes the post-Epic Universe dinner easy.
