Restaurants Walking Distance from DoubleTree Orlando Theme Park Resort
Walk across the street from the DoubleTree. Handmade Italian. No car. No Uber. 10% off with park ticket.
Family-Owned Italian — Since 1991 — 6149 Westwood Blvd
Leave the Car Parked
You drove to Orlando. You are tired. The car is parked at the DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando Theme Park Resort. Leave it there. Ciao Italia is right across the street — a 2-minute walk from your hotel room to a table with handmade Italian food.
No Uber. No Lyft. No parking search. No fighting traffic on International Drive. No waiting 20 minutes for a rideshare during surge pricing. Walk out the lobby, cross the street, sit down, and eat. That is it.
The Navarra family has been running Ciao Italia since 1991. Everything is made from scratch — the pasta, the sauces, the bread. Over 4,000 reviews and 9 culinary awards later, it is still the same family, the same kitchen, and the same commitment to real Italian food. And it is right across the street from your hotel.
2-Minute Walk from Your Hotel Room
Walk out the DoubleTree lobby. Cross Westwood Blvd. You are at Ciao Italia. One minute if you walk fast. The restaurant is at 6149 Westwood Blvd — you can see it from the hotel.
There is no confusing navigation, no wrong turns, no "recalculating" from your phone. It is across the street. You can look at the restaurant from the hotel parking lot. Walk over, check the menu posted at the door, and walk right in. Dinner starts at 5 PM every night.
Dinner and Back in Under 2 Hours
Walk across the street, have a full Italian dinner with wine and beer, and walk back to your room at the DoubleTree. You will be back before the kids' sugar rush wears off. No driving, no waiting for a ride, no fumbling with a navigation app.
A typical dinner at Ciao Italia takes about 60 to 90 minutes depending on how many courses you order. Start with the Burrata or the sautéed calamari. Move to Fettuccine Alfredo, Lasagna, or the Risotto alla Pescatora. Kids get their own $13 menu with gelato included. Add a glass of Italian wine or a cold beer. Walk back to the hotel when you are ready. The whole experience — door to door — is under two hours.
No Uber, No Surge, No Hassle
Save $15-20 per trip on rideshares. Walk across the street instead. That is $30-40 over a 2-night stay — enough to add the Risotto alla Pescatora ($36) to your order. Or the lamb chops ($44). Or an extra bottle of wine from the Italian wine list.
Uber surge pricing in the I-Drive corridor during peak dinner hours can be brutal. You know this. Everyone who has visited Orlando knows this. So instead of paying $18 for a 7-minute ride, walk 2 minutes across the street and spend that money on handmade pasta instead.
And when dinner is over? Walk back. No waiting outside the restaurant for your driver, no tracking a car on your phone, no wrong pickup location. Just walk across the street and you are home.
Bring Your Park Ticket
Spending the day at SeaWorld, Aquatica, or Discovery Cove? Walk across the street from the DoubleTree to Ciao Italia and show your park ticket. You will save 10% on your entire dinner — appetizers, pasta, seafood, wine and beer, everything on the menu.
You already saved money by walking instead of taking an Uber. Now save 10% more on dinner. For a family of four ordering pasta, a couple of appetizers, and wine and beer, that 10% discount adds up fast. No coupon needed — just show the ticket at your table.
Walking Directions from the DoubleTree
Exit the DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando Theme Park Resort lobby. Cross Westwood Blvd. Ciao Italia is at 6149 Westwood Blvd on the other side. You can see the restaurant from the hotel. The walk takes about 2 minutes at a normal pace, one minute if you are hungry and walk fast.
There is a free parking lot right in front of the restaurant if you do drive, but you will not need it. The whole point is that you are across the street. Leave the car parked, save the gas, save the Uber money, and walk to dinner.
