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

The Aquatica all day dining plan makes sense when you are inside the park. Quick bites between slides, a burger by the wave pool, something cold to drink while the kids run ahead. It covers the basics. But when the park closes and you are starving for a real meal, the dining plan cannot help you. Ciao Italia is 3 minutes from Aquatica on Westwood Blvd. We serve handmade Italian food the way it has been made in this kitchen since 1991. Fresh pasta, homemade sauces, warm bread, and a menu that goes from $19 pastas to $44 Australian lamb chops. Show your Aquatica ticket and save 10% on dinner for the whole table. No plan needed.
Ciao Italia looks elegant — arched columns, Italian pottery, wine racks. But there's no dress code. Shorts and flip-flops are welcome. Kids are welcome.
$13 kids menu with gelato included. Highchairs available. Walk-ins welcome every night from 5 to 10 PM. Free parking lot right in front.
