Your Team Deserves This — Orlando, FL
When the Navarra family opened Ciao Italia on International Drive in 1991, Orlando looked nothing like it does today. But the mission was simple: serve real Italian food, made from scratch, every single night.
35 years later, that mission hasn't changed. The pasta is still handmade. The sauces still simmer for hours. Over 4,000 guests have left reviews. Zagat rated, highly awarded, and the same family still greeting you at the door.
This is not a chain. This is the real thing.
Handmade pasta • Fresh seafood • Prime cuts • Every plate from scratch

Take over the entire restaurant for your event. When you book a full buyout at Ciao Italia, no other parties share the space — your guests get every table, the full kitchen, and a dedicated events team focused entirely on your celebration.
Our dedicated private dining room is separated from the main floor — giving your group a space that feels entirely their own. Intimate, elegant, and fully staffed just for your party.
Ciao Italia looks elegant — arched columns, Italian pottery, wine racks. But there's no dress code. Shorts and flip-flops are welcome. Kids are welcome.
$13 kids menu with gelato included. Highchairs available. Walk-ins welcome every night from 5 to 10 PM. Free parking lot right in front.
