Odyssey of the Seas dining guide: Two70, Teppanyaki and Italian dining
Find Odyssey of the Seas included food and specialty restaurants, with Café at Two70, Teppanyaki, Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen and practical booking tips.
Jump to a section
Odyssey of the Seas rewards a dining plan that uses its quieter meal formats as well as its big specialty choices. Café at Two70 offers a different daytime stop from the buffet; Teppanyaki turns dinner into a shared cooking experience. Those are more useful distinctions than simply counting restaurants.
Begin with included food, then decide whether your paid meal should be social and lively, conventionally elegant or deliberately theatrical. Odyssey has separate Izumi and Teppanyaki listings, and its Italian venue is Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar. Those exact names matter when you choose a reservation.
What matters for your decision
- Café at Two70 is an included alternative to a full buffet meal.
- Teppanyaki and Izumi are separate dining decisions; book the intended format.
- Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen, Chops and Wonderland suit different appetites and occasions.

Teppanyaki is not simply another way to reserve Izumi
Royal’s Odyssey restaurant guide identifies Teppanyaki as a distinct venue. Choose it for a shared-table meal with cooking as part of the entertainment. Check the menu for everyone in the party, including a child who may enjoy the show but dislike the food. A quiet conversation or a tightly timed dinner may be better served by a different restaurant.
Izumi is the separate Japanese-dining choice on the ship’s roster. If you want sushi rather than the grill performance, make sure the booking reflects that intention. Package credits, supplements and available times can differ by format. The distinction sounds small before sailing, but it matters when your only free dinner is attached to the wrong experience.
Café at Two70 is worth identifying early because it gives you another included daytime option. Treat it as a place for a lighter meal and a change of setting rather than an all-day substitute for every buffet station. Check its food-service hours separately from access to the Two70 space: a lounge being open does not guarantee its café is serving.
Which meal is worth booking first?
For a family that enjoys an interactive meal, put Teppanyaki first on the reservation shortlist. For a couple wanting a more conventional dinner, compare Chops with Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen. Wonderland is the choice to investigate when imaginative presentation is a positive, but its concept should be a shared preference rather than a surprise imposed on a reluctant diner.
If you want to keep spending low, try an included dinner, a Café at Two70 lunch and a casual El Loco Fresh stop before committing to more specialty meals. That sequence helps you discover whether the perceived gap is cuisine, service, surroundings or simply wanting one special night. Buy the meal that fills the actual gap.
Build a dining plan around the actual sailing
When a sea day includes a Two70 show or other scheduled activity, reserve dinner with enough margin to finish comfortably and reach the venue. A hibachi-style meal has its own pacing, so do not assume you can accelerate it like a quick-service lunch. On a port day, keep at least one food option that does not depend on returning at an exact time.
If the booking includes suite benefits, verify the Coastal Kitchen entitlement for your category and meal period rather than assuming every suite has identical access. Compare that included value with any additional dining package. A package that works for a standard cabin traveler who wants several special dinners may be redundant for someone already planning to eat in a restricted restaurant.
Reservations, menus and the total food budget
If you have a food allergy, contact the cruise line before departure and discuss preparation with the dining team before ordering. Our cruise dietary-needs guide explains what to confirm.

Questions travelers ask
Can I eat on Odyssey of the Seas without paying for specialty restaurants?
Yes. Included choices include the Main Dining Room, Windjammer, Café at Two70, Café Promenade, Sorrento’s, El Loco Fresh and Solarium Bistro’s base offering. Check paid drinks and premium menu items separately.
Which Odyssey of the Seas restaurant should I book first?
Book Teppanyaki first if the shared cooking experience matters to your party. If you mean sushi, choose the separate Izumi offering. For a conventional special dinner, compare Chops and Giovanni’s menus.

No. The ship lists sushi dining and the teppanyaki grill experience separately. Reserve the format you want and confirm which menu and package terms apply.
