Your Neighborhood Italian, Minutes from SeaWorld

SeaWorld is literally right around the corner from us. We are talking minutes, not miles. When the park closes and the family is hungry, you do not have to settle for fast food or fight the I-Drive traffic to find something decent. Ciao Italia is right here, waiting for you.

The Navarra family has been cooking on Westwood Blvd since 1991. Back then, SeaWorld was already our neighbor, and families started coming to us after their park days. Thirty-five years later, that tradition has not changed. We are still here, still making pasta by hand, still treating every table like family.

There is something about a plate of fresh linguine with clam sauce after a day of roller coasters and animal encounters that just hits different. Your feet hurt, the kids are sunburned, and everyone needs a real meal. That is exactly what we are here for.

Not Another Chain Restaurant

The area around SeaWorld is packed with chain restaurants. Olive Garden, Carrabba's, Maggiano's, they are all fine. But you did not fly to Orlando to eat at the same place you have back home. Ciao Italia gives you something those chains cannot: a family that actually owns the place and cares about every plate that leaves the kitchen.

Everything You Need After a Park Day

We have thought about what families need after SeaWorld, because we have been watching them walk through our door for over three decades. Free parking, so you are not fumbling for quarters. A $13 kids menu with gelato, so nobody is arguing about dessert. And a menu that goes from light antipasti to hearty osso buco, so everyone from grandma to the teenagers can find something they love.

Our handmade pasta is the star here. The fettuccine, the ravioli, the gnocchi, all made fresh. When you taste the difference between our pasta and what comes out of a box at a chain restaurant, you will understand why people keep coming back.

Private Dining for Your Group

Traveling with a bigger group? We do private dining for up to 60 guests, and full restaurant buyouts for up to 110. Family reunions, birthday dinners, corporate groups, we handle it all. Just give us a call and we will take care of everything.

"So close to SeaWorld and so much better than the tourist trap restaurants on I-Drive. Fresh pasta, warm bread, and a relaxed atmosphere. Our whole family loved it."

TripAdvisor
★★★★★

"The lasagna here is the best I have had outside of Italy. And the free parking after paying for SeaWorld parking all day? That alone is worth the trip."
