Better Than Waterpark Food

Aquatica has quick-service food inside the park, but after paying for tickets, parking, and locker rentals, you want dinner that is actually worth the money. Ciao Italia is a real restaurant with homemade food at real-world prices.

The restaurant is casual. Families come in with wet hair and sunburns and nobody bats an eye. Highchairs and booster seats available. The kids menu is $13 with gelato included.

We are right off International Drive, halfway between Aquatica and the Convention Center. Free parking lot, easy to find, and most nights you walk right in.
