Our Story

The Navarra Family. Since 1991.

When Josie and Antonio Navarra opened Ciao Italia in 1991, they brought their Southern Italian family recipes and a simple philosophy: make great food from scratch, treat guests like family, and never take shortcuts.

More than 35 years later, we are still here — locally owned, scratch-made, and proudly independent. No chains. No shortcuts. Just real Italian food on International Drive, 0.5 mi from Aquatica Orlando.

Aquatica Orlando is one of the best waterparks in the country. The slides are thrilling, the lazy river is relaxing, and the wave pool keeps kids entertained for hours. But after a full day in the sun and water, everyone is exhausted and starving.

Ciao Italia Ristorante is just 3 minutes from Aquatica on Westwood Boulevard. We have been the go-to dinner spot for waterpark families since 1991. The air conditioning feels great after a hot day outside, the dining room is calm and comfortable, and the food is the kind of real Italian cooking that fills you up and makes everyone happy.
