About Dining Near I-Drive
International Drive runs through the center of Orlando's tourism district. It connects SeaWorld, Aquatica, ICON Park, the Orange County Convention Center, and dozens of hotels. Every night, thousands of visitors walk the strip looking for dinner.

Located on Westwood Boulevard just off International Drive, it is a family-owned restaurant where the Navarra family has been making everything from scratch for over 35 years. The sauteed calamari, the handmade pasta, the Risotto alla Pescatora, the Australian lamb chops — this is real Italian food, not a chain interpretation.
The restaurant is casual and welcoming, perfect for families, couples, and groups. The kids menu is $13 and includes gelato. Beer and wine are available to pair with dinner. Reservations are recommended but walk-ins are always welcome.
