Real Value

Magical Dining That Does Not Break the Bank

Magical Dining is already a great value, but Ciao Italia takes it further. The $40 three-course prix fixe includes premium dishes that would cost significantly more on the regular menu: braised spareribs, veal piccata, sacchetti with truffle cream and filet mignon.

Add free self-parking (no valet fees), no dress code (no need to buy a special outfit), and an Italian wine and beer list at fair prices, and the total cost of a Magical Dining evening at Ciao Italia is remarkably affordable.

This is Magical Dining without the extras that add up at other restaurants.

No Hidden Costs

What You Pay Is What You Expect

$40 per person for three courses. Beverages, tax, and gratuity are separate. That is it. No resort fee, no parking fee, no minimum spend.

Optional upgrades are available but not required. You can have an incredible three-course Italian dinner for exactly $40 plus tax, tip, and whatever you choose to drink.

Compare that to hotel restaurants where valet alone can cost $30+. At Ciao Italia, parking is free.

Quality Without the Markup

Family-Owned Means Fair Prices

Corporate restaurants have corporate margins. Ciao Italia is owned by the Navarra family, who have been on International Drive since 1991. They price their food fairly because they are not answering to shareholders.

Over 35 years and 4,000+ reviews prove that quality and affordability can coexist. The Magical Dining menu is the ultimate expression of that philosophy.

Book on OpenTable or call (407) 354-0770. Open 5 to 10 PM. Walk-ins welcome.

We were at a convention and needed somewhere close. Found Ciao Italia and it was the best decision of the trip. The sacchetti pasta with filet mignon is insane.
