No pretension, no attitude, just amazing food and warm service. The bruschetta was perfect and the brasato melted in my mouth. Cannot wait for Magical Dining.

About Ciao Italia & Magical Dining
When you are looking for the best Magical Dining deals in Orlando, the equation is simple: quality of food versus total cost. Ciao Italia's $40 prix fixe includes dishes you would expect to pay much more for: sacchetti pasta with truffle cream and filet mignon, braised spareribs in red wine reduction, veal piccata with artichokes.
Add free self-parking, no dress code, and no valet or resort fees, and the total cost of dining at Ciao Italia is significantly less than comparable restaurants.
Over 4,000 guests have left reviews. A 4.6 rating. The deal gets even better when the food is this good.
Your $40 gets you one appetizer (Caesar, Caprese, or Bruschetta), one main course (braised spareribs, veal piccata, or sacchetti with filet mignon), and one dessert (tiramisu, limoncello cake, or chocolate torta).
These are not stripped-down prix fixe portions. These are the same dishes served on the regular menu at regular portions. The prix fixe format simply bundles them at a lower price.
Optional upgrades are available: add crab, shrimp, anchovies, filet tips, or ice cream for a few dollars more.
At some Magical Dining restaurants, you will pay $30+ for valet, $15+ for overpriced drinks, and feel pressure to dress up. At Ciao Italia, parking is free, the wine and beer list is reasonably priced, and you can wear shorts.
The Navarra family has been offering this kind of value on International Drive since 1991. No corporate markup. No hidden costs. Just great Italian food at a fair price.

We came here after a long day at SeaWorld with the kids still in their swimsuits. Nobody cared. The veal piccata was unbelievable and the parking lot was right there. Best Italian we had all week.
