About Dining Near Aquatica Orlando
Aquatica Orlando is SeaWorld's water park, a full day of slides, wave pools, lazy rivers, and sandy beaches. It is one of the most popular waterparks in Central Florida, and families typically spend 6 to 8 hours inside before heading out hungry, sunburned, and ready for dinner.
The dining options around Aquatica are similar to what you find along International Drive: fast food, chain restaurants, and tourist-oriented buffets. After spending an entire day in the Florida sun, most families want something better than a drive-through meal eaten in the car.
Ciao Italia Ristorante is a family-owned Italian restaurant about 4 minutes from Aquatica on Westwood Boulevard. The Navarra family has operated the restaurant since 1991, and everything is made from scratch: the pasta, the bread, the sauces. The dining room is air-conditioned, casual, and quiet enough to actually have a conversation.
Aquatica ticket holders receive 10% off dinner, and the kids menu is $13 with gelato included. After a day of waterslides and wave pools, a proper Italian dinner with free parking and no wait is exactly what most families need.
