Park Food Gets Mixed Reviews. We Get 4,000+.

If you search for Discovery Cove food reviews, you will find a mixed bag. Some people say the included lunch is fine for a theme park. Others say it is forgettable. The truth is somewhere in the middle — it is buffet food designed to feed thousands of people in a tropical setting. It works for lunch. But dinner is a different conversation entirely. Ciao Italia has earned more than 4,000 reviews over 35 years, and the consistency is what stands out. Families come back year after year. They recommend it to friends. They post about it unprompted. That kind of track record does not come from luck. It comes from making the pasta by hand every day, cooking every dish to order, and treating every guest like family.

What People Actually Say About Ciao Italia

The reviews speak for themselves. Guests mention the handmade pasta, the warm service, and the feeling that they discovered something special off the beaten path. The Fettuccine Alfredo is a consistent favorite — made the real way with butter and Parmigiano Reggiano. The Pollo alla Parmigiana is hand-breaded and cooked fresh. The Risotto alla Pescatora gets mentioned again and again for its generous seafood and creamy texture. Families especially love the $13 kids menu with gelato, which makes it easy to bring the whole crew without breaking the bank. Visit us at 6149 Westwood Blvd after your Discovery Cove day. Call (407) 354-0770 or just walk in.
