Our Story
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.
Read Our Full Story
Every dish made from scratch • No shortcuts since 1991
You came to Orlando for the parks, not for chain restaurants. Guests at Hotel Landy deserve better than reheated pasta from a commissary kitchen. Ciao Italia Ristorante sits on International Drive at 6149 Westwood Blvd — a short drive from your hotel. The Navarra family has been cooking here since 1991, and they still make every sauce, every pasta, every dessert from scratch.
Over 4,000 reviews and highly awarded later, Ciao Italia remains Orlando's go-to Italian restaurant for hotel guests, locals, and repeat visitors. Zagat rated. $$ pricing. No dress code — shorts and flip-flops are perfectly fine. This is casual, family-friendly Italian with upscale vibes and honest food.
The International Drive corridor has dozens of restaurants fighting for your attention. Most serve frozen food at inflated prices. A few are decent chains. None of them are family-owned Italian restaurants that have survived 35 years on the same block.
At Ciao Italia, the Lasagna is layered fresh daily. The Fettuccine Alfredo is tossed in a sauce made from scratch — not poured from a bag. The Calamari Saltati is sautéed in white wine lemon butter, not deep-fried. The Risotto alla Pescatora is loaded with clams, mussels, shrimp, and calamari, cooked to order in arborio rice. This is the food that earned those 4,000+ reviews.
Handmade pasta • Fresh seafood • Prime cuts • Every plate tells a story
