Authentic Italian in Orlando Since 1991

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.

Daytime Drinks at the Park. Dinner Wine at Ciao Italia.

Discovery Cove includes drinks with your all-inclusive ticket — beer, wine, and soft drinks throughout the day. That works great when you are floating the lazy river or relaxing on the beach. But when the park closes and dinner rolls around, the drinking experience changes. Ciao Italia offers a curated Italian wine list and beer selection that is designed to pair with real food. A glass of Chianti with the Pappardelle al Cinghiale. A crisp Pinot Grigio with the Linguine alle Vongole. A Montepulciano with the Pollo alla Parmigiana. These are pairings that elevate a good dinner into a great one. 5 minutes from Discovery Cove at 6149 Westwood Blvd. Show your ticket and save 10% on dinner.
