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. And it is right across the street from your hotel.
The DoubleTree Orlando Theme Park Resort has 100,000+ square feet of event space. The Majestic Ballroom alone holds 2,055 people across 18,669 square feet. The Orange Ballroom seats 1,500. The Royal seats 1,200. Add 42 meeting rooms and 1,042 guest rooms, and you have thousands of convention attendees looking for dinner every single night. Most of them end up at the hotel restaurant or ordering room service. You do not have to.
Ciao Italia is directly across the street — a 3-minute walk from the DoubleTree lobby. After a full day of breakout sessions, keynotes, and vendor booths, walk across Westwood Blvd and sit down to handmade pasta, fresh seafood, Australian lamb chops, and Italian wine. This is real food made from scratch by the same family that has been doing it since 1991. Not a buffet line. Not a heat lamp tray. Real dinner.
Show your DoubleTree room key for 10% off food with two entrees. Enjoy a glass of Italian wine, eat something genuinely good, and walk back to your hotel room in 3 minutes. No car. No Uber surge pricing during convention season. No waiting for a bus. The restaurant is right there, and you can see it from the hotel.
Handmade pasta • Fresh seafood • Prime cuts • Every plate from scratch
