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.
Handmade pasta • Fresh seafood • Prime cuts • Every plate from scratch

This is the after-Disney dinner that saves the evening. Real food, no lines, no resort prices.
You are exhausted. The kids are cranky. Everyone is starving. You need a restaurant that seats you fast, feeds you real food, and does not charge Disney prices.

Free parking means no walking. Walk-ins mean no waiting. Homemade food means no regrets. This is the post-Disney dinner Orlando families wish they found on day one.
