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.

Searching for the best restaurant near SpringHill Suites Lake Buena Vista Marriott Village? Stop scrolling. Ciao Italia Ristorante is a 15-minute drive away at 6149 Westwood Blvd on International Drive, and no other restaurant nearby can match 35 years of family-owned Italian cooking, over 4,000 reviews, and highly awarded. The Navarra family opened in 1991 and they are still here, still cooking everything from scratch, still greeting guests.
The menu runs from antipasti through dessert — all made fresh daily. The Tortellini Brasato e Tartufo combines braised beef with truffle cream sauce. The Risotto alla Pescatora is loaded with clams, mussels, shrimp, and calamari. The Lasagna is classic Bolognese beef with mozzarella and Parmigiano-Reggiano. An Italian wine and beer list pairs with everything. This is not a chain. This is the real thing.
