Our Story
In 1970, Josie and Antonio Navarra made the journey from southern Italy to America. After finding each other in Boston, they set their sights on Orlando — where they opened Ciao Italia, one of the city's first authentic Italian restaurants.
Over 35 years later, every dish is still made to order using the freshest ingredients and classic Italian recipes — from our legendary Risotto Pescatore to the rich Pappardelle with Wild Boar.
