The Best Restaurant for Volleyball Families
You drove to Orlando for volleyball. Your daughter played six matches today. The hotel room is covered in knee pads and ankle braces. Nobody wants to cook. Nobody wants a drive-through. Ciao Italia is 5 minutes from the Convention Center — homemade Italian food, $13 kids menu with gelato, and a dining room that feels like a real restaurant, not a cafeteria. Family-owned since 1991.
What Makes It the Best for Volleyball Families
Better Than Hotel Dining
Hotel restaurants charge hotel prices for food that was prepped hours ago. Ciao Italia charges neighborhood prices for food that was made by hand today. The Fettuccine Alfredo, the Chicken Parmigiana, the Risotto alla Pescatora — everything is cooked to order in a kitchen that has been perfecting these recipes for more than 35 years. 6149 Westwood Blvd. (407) 354-0770.

Why Volleyball Families Come Back Every Night
The AAU Junior Nationals run for three weeks. That is 21 dinners to figure out. Families who find Ciao Italia early tend to come back — the food is consistent, the prices are fair, and the kids actually eat.
The Navarra family has been running this restaurant since 1991. The Chicken Parmigiana, the Fettuccine Alfredo, the Lasagna — these are dishes that 15-year-old athletes will eat every bite of. And the gelato on the kids menu seals the deal.
Parents and coaches appreciate the wine and beer list, the lamb chops, the Risotto alla Pescatora. It is a real dinner — not a compromise.
