Magical Dining Near Rosen Shingle Creek
The kind of dinner you remember for years. 10 minutes from the resort. 10% off with your SeaWorld ticket.
Family-Owned Italian — Since 1991 — 6149 Westwood Blvd
Dinner That Becomes a Memory
A magical dining experience is not about white tablecloths and $100 entrees. It is about a meal that stays with you — the smell of fresh basil, the taste of handmade pasta, the warmth of a family-owned restaurant where the owners greet you by name. That is what you get at Ciao Italia Ristorante, 10 minutes from Rosen Shingle Creek.
The Navarra family has been creating these moments since 1991. Over 4,000 guests have left reviews saying essentially the same thing: this feels like eating at someone's home in Italy. The food is made from scratch. The atmosphere is warm and casual. The prices are honest. And the memories last longer than the meal.
Dishes That Create Memories
The Risotto alla Pescatora — arborio rice slowly stirred with clams, mussels, shrimp, and calamari — is the kind of dish people photograph and talk about at breakfast the next day. The Tortellini with braised beef and truffle cream is rich and unforgettable. The Agnello — Australian lamb chops — arrives with mashed potatoes and asparagus in a presentation worthy of its $44 price tag.
For celebrations, the private dining room seats up to 60 guests. Full venue buyout accommodates 110. Group dining packages at $60, $70, or $80 per person with private event menus. Anniversary dinners, birthday celebrations, convention award ceremonies — Ciao Italia has hosted them all for 35 years.
