The Best Dinner You Will Find This Close to Your Hotel
Spark by Hilton is one of the newest hotel brands in Orlando, built for modern travelers who want a clean, comfortable room without resort prices. Smart choice. Now make an equally smart choice for dinner. Ciao Italia Ristorante is on the same street as your hotel, right here on Westwood Blvd. You could practically see it from the parking lot.
While the SeaWorld area is packed with chain restaurants and fast-casual spots fighting for tourist dollars, Ciao Italia has been quietly serving Zagat-rated Italian food on this boulevard since 1991. The Navarra family built this restaurant from the ground up, and 35 years later, the pasta is still handmade, the seafood is still fresh, and the awards keep coming. Nine culinary awards and over 3,000 guest reviews tell the story better than any advertisement could.
After SeaWorld, Before the Best Meal of Your Trip
A day at SeaWorld is thrilling, exhausting, and hungry-making. The last thing your family wants is another loud, rushed restaurant with microwaved entrees and sticky menus. Ciao Italia is the antidote. The dining room is warm and welcoming. The pace lets you actually enjoy your meal. The food is the kind of Italian that makes people close their eyes on the first bite and say nothing for a moment.
Children are welcome and well-fed. The kids menu is $13 for guests 10 and under and includes gelato for dessert. While the little ones enjoy their pasta, you can explore the adult menu: lobster ravioli, chicken parmigiana with a breading that crunches perfectly, fettuccine alfredo with shrimp, or the risotto pescatore that regulars have been ordering for decades. Every dish is made to order, and you can taste the difference.
