Real Dinner Near Tru by Hilton Orlando
Tru by Hilton is a great hotel for the price, but when dinner rolls around, you want something more than a grab-and-go market pantry. Ciao Italia Ristorante is a short drive from the Tru by Hilton near SeaWorld and has been serving authentic Italian food in Orlando since 1991. Over 35 years, one family, and more than 3,000 reviews from people who keep coming back.
This is the kind of restaurant that does not exist near most hotels. It is not a chain. There is no corporate menu designed by committee. The Navarra family has been running Ciao Italia the same way since day one: fresh ingredients, generous portions, and a dining room that feels like you are eating at someone's home in southern Italy.
What Makes Ciao Italia Different
Most restaurants in the SeaWorld corridor cater to tourists who will never return. Ciao Italia built its reputation on locals who come back every week. The menu covers all the Italian classics: handmade pastas, fresh seafood dishes, veal piccata, chicken parmigiana, and a wine list that pairs with all of it. Prices are fair for the quality you get, and you will not leave hungry.
The restaurant has earned 9 awards over the years, including recognition from Zagat and OpenTable. That does not happen by accident in a market as competitive as Orlando.
Getting There from Tru by Hilton
Ciao Italia is located at 6149 Westwood Blvd, just minutes from the Tru by Hilton near SeaWorld. The drive is straightforward, and when you arrive, there is free self-parking waiting for you. No rideshare needed, no parking fees, no hassle.
