Hampton Guests Know Value. So Do We.

There is a reason the Hampton Inn and Suites Orlando at SeaWorld stays booked. It delivers exactly what it promises: a comfortable room, a reliable brand, a solid breakfast, and a location that makes the SeaWorld parks easy to reach. Hampton travelers tend to be practical. They do their research. They know the difference between a good deal and a cheap experience.

That same instinct is what leads them to Ciao Italia Ristorante. We are not the flashiest restaurant on the strip, and we are not trying to be. What we are is a family-owned Italian restaurant that has been cooking real food from scratch for over 35 years. The Navarra family opened the doors in 1991, and they are still in the kitchen every night.

What Separates Ciao Italia from Everything Else Nearby

Within a few miles of the Hampton Inn at SeaWorld, there are probably two dozen restaurants you could eat at tonight. Most of them are chains. Some of them are good. But none of them can give you what Ciao Italia offers: handmade pasta, fresh-daily seafood, veal that melts, chicken parmigiana that sets the standard, and a dining room that feels like you are eating at someone's home in Italy.

The menu was not designed by a corporate committee. It was built by a family that grew up cooking these dishes and has spent three decades perfecting them. The difference shows up in every bite.

Bring the Whole Family

Hampton Inn draws a lot of families, and Ciao Italia is built for that. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the staff has decades of experience with groups of all sizes, and the menu has something for everyone. Kids go for the pasta. Adults discover the risotto or the lamb chops. Everybody finishes with tiramisu.

We came after the parks and it was the perfect way to end the day. The gnocchi was unreal and the valet made everything so easy.
