Family Vacation Restaurant in Orlando
After a long day at the parks, your family deserves a real dinner. Not another chain. Not another drive-through.
5 minutes from Your Hotel
If you are staying near SeaWorld or Aquatica, Ciao Italia is practically in your backyard. The Tru by Hilton and Homewood Suites are on the same street. The Renaissance at SeaWorld is right around the corner. The DoubleTree is across the way, and the Hilton Orlando is half a mile down the road. After a full day of roller coasters and water slides, you do not want to drive across town for dinner. We are right here, with free self-parking at the door.
Tourists find us and come back every year. Over 3,000 reviews and 9 awards tell the story of a restaurant that families trust. Many of those reviews mention how refreshing it is to find a real, family-owned Italian restaurant in the middle of Orlando's tourist corridor.
Make It the Dinner Your Family Talks About
Vacations are measured by the moments that stand out. The ride that made everyone scream. The pool that the kids would not leave. And the dinner where the whole family sat down, ate incredible food, and actually enjoyed being together at the table. That is what Ciao Italia has been providing for families visiting Orlando for more than three decades. One dinner here and you will add us to your annual tradition.
