Perfect for the Pasta Person in Your Group

Every group has someone who would rather have pasta than steak. Ciao Italia is where that person gets to shine. But do not be surprised when the steak lovers in the group are just as impressed. The lamb chops, the veal marsala, and the fresh seafood dishes hold their own against any restaurant on I-Drive.

The restaurant is at 6149 Westwood Blvd, just off International Drive. Free parking, no reservation required though recommended, and open 7 nights a week.
