Your Evening Deserves Better Than a Chain

You have been going all day. Theme parks, meetings, sightseeing, whatever brought you to Orlando. Now it is dinnertime and you want something good. Not a 45-minute wait at a chain where the pasta comes from a box and the sauce comes from a bag.

Ciao Italia Ristorante opens at 5 PM every single night. Seven days a week. No dark days, no seasonal closures. When you need dinner in Orlando, we are here. We have been here since 1991, when the Navarra family brought their recipes from southern Italy and opened these doors.

The pasta is handmade. The sauces are cooked fresh every day. The seafood arrives and goes straight into dishes like Risotto alla Pescatora and Linguine alle Vongole. The veal is pounded, seasoned, and prepared to order. Nothing sits under a heat lamp. Nothing waits in a warming drawer. Your dinner is made when you order it.

A Dinner Menu Worth Sitting Down For

The menu at Ciao Italia covers the full range of Italian dinner traditions. Start with the Pesto Burrata, fresh burrata cheese with house-made pesto that sets the tone for the meal. Or go with the Charcuterie Board, a spread of imported Italian meats and cheeses that pairs perfectly with a glass from the wine list.

For your main course, the Pollo Marsala is a guest favorite. Tender chicken in a rich Marsala wine sauce with mushrooms, made the traditional way. The Brasato is a braised short rib that falls apart on the fork, slow-cooked until every bite melts. The Fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp is creamy, rich, and nothing like what you get at a chain.
