About Dining Near Discovery Cove
Discovery Cove offers a premium, all-inclusive experience that most guests describe as the highlight of their Orlando trip. Swimming with dolphins, feeding tropical birds, and floating through a lazy river surrounded by fish and rays makes for an unforgettable day.
The all-inclusive package covers breakfast and lunch inside the park, but dinner is not included. By the time guests leave Discovery Cove in the late afternoon, they are usually relaxed, happy, and ready for a real sit-down dinner that matches the quality of the day they just had.
The dining options immediately around Discovery Cove are limited. International Drive has volume, but most of the restaurants are designed for tourists in a hurry. If you want something with character, you need to step off the main drag.
Ciao Italia Ristorante is 5 minutes from Discovery Cove on Westwood Boulevard. The Navarra family has been cooking homemade Italian food here since 1991. Fresh pasta, lamb chops, seafood risotto, and a wine list that covers every Italian region. It is the kind of dinner that makes the whole day even better.
