Family Restaurant Near Icon Park Orlando
After the Orlando Eye and the rides — real Italian food for the whole family. 8 min away.
After Icon Park, a Real Family Dinner
Icon Park is packed with rides, attractions, and overpriced food stands. When the day is done and the family is hungry, skip the on-site options and drive 8 minutes south to Ciao Italia Ristorante. The Navarra family has been serving families here since 1991 with handmade pasta, a $13 kids menu with gelato, and an atmosphere that is casual, warm, and welcoming.
Your family just rode the Orlando Eye, did the wheel, maybe hit SEA LIFE or Madame Tussauds. They deserve a meal that matches the fun they just had — not a $16 burger from a food court. Ciao Italia is an 8-minute drive down International Drive, with free parking right in front.
A Dinner Worth the Short Drive
The kids menu has seven options at $13 each, all with gelato: spaghetti, meatballs, ravioli, Alfredo, penne alla vodka, chicken fingers, steak bites. The adult menu has handmade pasta, fresh seafood, chicken marsala, veal piccata, lamb chops, and more. Wine and beer are available.
After the sensory overload of Icon Park, Ciao Italia is a calm, comfortable place where the whole family can sit down, eat real food, and decompress. Open every night from 5 to 10 PM. Walk-ins welcome. Call (407) 354-0770 for groups.
