Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld Dining

Non-Corporate Dining, Half a Mile Away

Hotel dining is convenient but predictable. The menus are designed for broad appeal, the portions are standardized, and the experience feels the same whether you are in Orlando, Dallas, or Chicago. Ciao Italia is the opposite. This is a family restaurant where the recipes came from Italy, the pasta is handmade every morning, and the owner still works the dining room. It is half a mile from Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld on Westwood Blvd, and it offers something no hotel restaurant can — authenticity. Private dining is available for groups up to 60 guests, with catering packages at $60, $70, and $80 per person. For convention groups or family celebrations, this is the space that makes events memorable.
