End a Premium Day with a Premium Dinner
Discovery Cove is one of the most exclusive experiences in Orlando. Guests swim with dolphins, snorkel with tropical fish, and enjoy an all-inclusive day. The dinner that follows should match.
Ciao Italia is not a theme park restaurant. It is a Zagat-rated Italian restaurant where the owner is in the kitchen every night. Fresh risotto, homemade ravioli, pan-seared salmon, Australian lamb chops. It is the kind of dinner that feels earned.
The restaurant is casual enough that you can come straight from the park, but refined enough that it feels like a real night out.
