You just spent the day at SeaWorld Orlando. The kids are tired. Everyone is hungry. And the restaurants near the park entrance are packed with the same chains you could eat at anywhere in the country.
Ciao Italia Ristorante is 3 minutes down the road at 6149 Westwood Blvd. We have been serving homemade Italian food since 1991. The pasta is made fresh. The sauces simmer for hours. And you can actually hear yourself talk at the table.
This is the kind of dinner that turns a good Orlando day into a great one. No rushing. No overpriced theme park food. Just a family-owned restaurant doing what we have been doing for over 30 years.
Here is a sample of what keeps families coming back every time they visit Orlando:
Tender veal medallions in a lemon-caper butter sauce. Light, bright, and one of our most popular entrees.
Penne tossed in a creamy tomato-vodka sauce with a touch of crushed red pepper. Rich without being heavy.
Hand-breaded, baked with mozzarella and house marinara. A reliable favorite for kids and adults alike.
Grilled and served with a rosemary reduction. For when you want something a little more special.
Shrimp, clams, and mussels tossed with linguine in a white wine garlic sauce. A seafood lover's go-to.
Housemade desserts to finish the meal. The tiramisu is made with espresso-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone cream.
When people search for dining options near SeaWorld Orlando, they usually see the same list of chain restaurants and buffets. Ciao Italia is something different. We are not part of a franchise. There is no corporate menu. Every dish is prepared by our kitchen team using recipes that have been here since we opened the doors in 1991.
We are especially popular with families staying on International Drive, Westwood Boulevard, and near the Orange County Convention Center. Whether you are in Orlando for the week or just passing through, this is a dinner you will remember.
