Kid-Friendly Restaurants Near Universal Orlando
$13 kids menu with gelato. Highchairs. Free parking. Real food after the rides.
Real Kids Food Outside the Parks
The kids ate theme park food all day — chicken tenders from a cart, pretzels, overpriced pizza. For dinner, give them something real. Ciao Italia has a kids menu with seven freshly made options at $13 each, all with gelato: spaghetti, meatballs, ravioli, Alfredo, penne alla vodka, chicken fingers, steak bites.
Highchairs are available. The staff is experienced with families. The kitchen gets kids food out quickly. And the atmosphere is calm and casual — a welcome change from the sensory overload of Universal.
The Dinner That Saves the Evening
Tired kids after a theme park day can go one of two ways. If you feed them fast food from a drive-through, it goes badly. If you sit them down at Ciao Italia, the bread comes out, the spaghetti arrives, and the gelato finishes the job. Tired turns into happy. That is the Ciao Italia effect, and the Navarra family has been creating it since 1991.
Free parking. Walk-ins welcome. Open every night. Located at 6149 Westwood Blvd, near SeaWorld and International Drive.
