Great Food Without the Fuss
You want a real dinner on International Drive without the pretense. No dress code, no velvet ropes, no attitude. Ciao Italia Ristorante is casual dining at its best: family-owned Italian at 6149 Westwood Blvd, one block off I-Drive.
Families come in flip-flops after SeaWorld. Convention attendees come in business casual after meetings. Couples come for a relaxed date night. Everyone is welcome and nobody is overdressed.
The food is anything but casual, though. Handmade pasta, fresh seafood, homemade sauces — all made from scratch by the Navarra family, who have been here since 1991.

Casual Does Not Mean Low Quality
Casual dining on I-Drive usually means chain restaurants with microwave kitchens. Ciao Italia breaks that mold. The atmosphere is relaxed, but the food is restaurant-quality Italian made from scratch.
The menu ranges from familiar comfort food (lasagna, chicken parm, fettuccine alfredo) to dishes you will not find at chains (pappardelle al cinghiale, sacchetti di filetto, risotto alla pescatora).
The vibe is warm and inviting. White tablecloths, Italian music, a staff that treats you like family. Comfortable without being stuffy.
