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 search for the best Magical Dining restaurants on International Drive, you are looking for authenticity, quality, and value. Ciao Italia Ristorante delivers all three. The Navarra family has been running this restaurant since 1991, making it Orlando's longest-running family-owned Italian restaurant.
With over 4,000 guest reviews and a 4.6 rating, Ciao Italia is not riding on one good year. This is a restaurant that has earned its reputation over 35+ years of serving real Italian food on International Drive.
The Magical Dining menu reflects that legacy. Every dish is made in-house, every ingredient is selected by the family, and every guest is treated like they belong.
International Drive has plenty of restaurants, but most are chains or hotel properties. Ciao Italia is independently owned and operated by one family. That shows in the food, the service, and the atmosphere.
The $40 Magical Dining menu features dishes you will not find at any chain: Brasato with red wine reduction and polenta, Vitello Piccata with artichokes and lemon butter, Sacchetti al Filetto with truffle cream and filet mignon.
Pair your meal with Italian wine and beer. Free self-parking. No dress code. No attitude. Just food and hospitality the way it should be.
Ciao Italia is near SeaWorld, Aquatica, Discovery Cove, the Orange County Convention Center, and Epic Universe. After a day at the parks or a convention, a $40 three-course Italian dinner is exactly what you need.
Reservations recommended during Magical Dining. Book on OpenTable or call (407) 354-0770. Walk-ins welcome. Kids menu available.
Upscale vibes, casual comfort. Come as you are. Shorts and vacation clothes welcome. This is Magical Dining done right.
We have been coming here for 10 years every time we visit Orlando. The veal piccata and the tiramisu never disappoint. Feels like eating at nonna's house.
