Our Story

The Navarra Family. Since 1991.

When Josie and Antonio Navarra opened Ciao Italia in 1991, they brought their Southern Italian family recipes and a simple philosophy: make great food from scratch, treat guests like family, and never take shortcuts.

More than 35 years later, we are still here — locally owned, scratch-made, and proudly independent. No chains. No shortcuts. Just real Italian food on International Drive.

Why Rosen Centre Guests Choose Ciao Italia for Dinner

The convention day is over. You sat through six panels, ate a cold sandwich from a catering tray, and spent four hours standing in an exhibit hall. Now you are back at the Rosen Centre Hotel Orlando and you need dinner — actual dinner, not a protein bar and a vending machine soda.

Start with the Aragosta Bisque — creamy lobster bisque that warms you up after an over-air-conditioned convention hall. Or share a Burrata with prosciutto di Parma, arugula, and sundried tomato vinaigrette.

Zagat-rated Italian. Handmade pastas, fresh seafood, veal, lamb, and classic preparations.
