Restaurants After SeaWorld Electric Ocean

The Fireworks Are Over. Now You Need Real Food.

Electric Ocean ends with hundreds of synchronized drones painting the night sky followed by the Ignite fireworks spectacular. It is one of the best nighttime shows in Orlando. And when it is over, you are standing in a parking lot with a family full of people who want to eat.

The restaurants on I-Drive are going to be packed. The fast food lines inside the park are not worth it. You need somewhere close, easy to get to, with real food and enough room for the whole family.

Ciao Italia Ristorante is 5 minutes south of SeaWorld on Westwood Boulevard. Orlando's longest running family restaurant since 1991. Braised Short Rib, Lobster Ravioli, Salmone Toscano with artichokes and sundried tomatoes, Chicken Parmesan, homemade Lasagna. Show your SeaWorld ticket and get 10% off dinner for everyone.

Why Ciao Italia Beats the I-Drive Crowd

After Electric Ocean, every restaurant within sight of SeaWorld is going to be slammed. The chains on International Drive fill up fast with park crowds. Wait times of 45 minutes to an hour are common on summer nights.

Ciao Italia is just off the strip. Easy to find but not in the middle of the tourist chaos. Free parking lot right in front. Walk in, sit down, eat real food. The kind of dinner that turns a good day at SeaWorld into a great one.

Over 4,000 reviews and 35 years of serving families straight from the parks. Kids menu is $13 with gelato included. Wine and beer available. No dress code, no pretension, no nonsense. Just honest Italian food from a family who has been doing this longer than most restaurants in Orlando have existed.

Getting to Ciao Italia from SeaWorld

When you exit SeaWorld, head south on International Drive. Turn right onto Westwood Boulevard. Ciao Italia is on your left with a free parking lot. The whole drive takes about 5 minutes, even on busy summer nights.

If you are using a rideshare, tell your driver 6149 Westwood Boulevard, Orlando. The ride from SeaWorld's front gate barely registers on the meter. You will be sitting down with a menu in your hands before the parking lot traffic even clears out.
