The Navarra Family

Authentic Italian in Orlando Since 1991

When the Navarra family opened Ciao Italia on International Drive in 1991, Orlando looked nothing like it does today. But the mission was simple: serve real Italian food, made from scratch, every single night.

35 years later, that mission hasn't changed. The pasta is still handmade. The sauces still simmer for hours. Over 4,000 guests have left reviews. Zagat rated, highly awarded, and the same family still greeting you at the door.

This is not a chain. This is the real thing.

The Best Way to End a Discovery Cove Day

Discovery Cove gives you an incredible day. Dolphins, snorkeling, white-sand beaches. But when the gates close, you need a great dinner to match. Not a hotel buffet. Not a chain restaurant with a 40-minute wait. Something real.

Ciao Italia Ristorante is just 3 minutes from Discovery Cove. We are a family-owned Italian restaurant that has been in Orlando since 1991. The pasta is made fresh every morning. The sauces simmer all day. And the bread comes out of the oven warm when you sit down.
