Authentic Italian dinner minutes from the water park
Aquatica is one of the best water parks in Orlando. The slides are world-class, the wave pool is enormous, and the lazy river is exactly what you needed. But when the park closes and you are standing in the parking lot with wet hair and a rumbling stomach, you need a plan for dinner.
Ciao Italia Ristorante is minutes from Aquatica on Westwood Blvd. We open at 5 PM, right around when the park starts winding down. The Navarra family has been making authentic Italian food here since 1991. Handmade pasta, fresh seafood, slow-cooked meats, and real Italian sauces. Over 4,000 reviews and 35 years of consistency.
After hours of slides and sun, your body wants real food. The homemade lasagna is comfort food at its best, layers of meat sauce and ricotta baked golden. The seafood risotto is packed with fresh shellfish and finished with saffron. The chicken parmigiana is a family favorite, crispy and satisfying.
Start with the charcuterie board or bruschetta while you look through the menu. The linguine alle vongole is perfect if you want something lighter. Finish with gelato or our homemade tiramisu. Beer and wine round out the evening nicely.
From Aquatica, head north on International Drive and turn west onto Westwood Blvd. Ciao Italia is at 6149 Westwood Blvd, Orlando, FL 32821. The drive takes about five minutes. Park for free in our lot, walk in, and sit down. No dress code, no fuss. Come as you are.
Reservations are smart during summer and on weekends when Aquatica draws bigger crowds. Call (407) 354-0770 to reserve. Walk-ins are always welcome when tables are available.
