Best Italian Near Me in Orlando
Your search ends here. Authentic Italian on Westwood Boulevard, family-owned since 1991. Over 3,000 reviews.
What Sets Ciao Italia Apart
Orlando has Italian restaurants on every corner. Most of them serve the same standardized dishes with the same jarred sauces and the same frozen pasta. Ciao Italia is not that. The kitchen makes everything from scratch. The Risotto alla Pescatora is built from fresh seafood. The Pappardelle with Wild Boar simmers for hours. The Vitello Piccata is finished tableside. The tiramisu is made in-house daily.
The restaurant has earned Zagat ratings, OpenTable Diners' Choice awards, and has been named one of the Most Romantic Restaurants in Orlando. That recognition does not come from marketing. It comes from 35 years of consistently delivering an experience that people talk about and return to.
Centrally Located in Orlando
Ciao Italia sits at 6149 Westwood Boulevard in Orlando, near SeaWorld, Aquatica, and the Orange County Convention Center. It is accessible from I-4, International Drive, and Sand Lake Road.

The neighborhood location is part of the appeal. It is not on a busy tourist strip. It is on a quiet street where you can park for free, walk in, and feel like you have found something special. Because you have.
