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 a 10-minute walk from your hotel.
Tru by Hilton is a smart-stay hotel — great rooms, great price, no restaurant on site. That is actually a good thing, because Ciao Italia is a 10-minute walk away and it is better than any hotel restaurant you have been to. The Navarra family has been cooking here since 1991. Everything is made from scratch — the pasta, the sauces, the desserts.
Walk down Westwood Blvd, sit down, and eat real food made by real people. No car, no rideshare, no parking hassle. Just 0.5 miles on foot to scratch-made Southern Italian.
Handmade pasta • Fresh seafood • Prime cuts • Every plate from scratch
Ciao Italia looks elegant — arched columns, Italian pottery, wine racks. But there is no dress code. Shorts and flip-flops are welcome. Kids are welcome. Come as you are from the hotel.
$13 kids menu with gelato included. Highchairs available. Walk-ins welcome every night from 5 to 10 PM. And after wine with dinner, walk 10 minutes back to your room. No designated driver needed.
