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 right across the street from your hotel.
You are 3 minutes from a glass of Italian wine and you do not need a car to get there. Walk across the street from the DoubleTree Orlando Theme Park Resort and start the evening at the bar. Ciao Italia has a full Italian wine list — reds, whites, and sparkling by the glass or by the bottle — plus craft beer. No full bar, no nightclub, just a relaxed Italian restaurant where you can ease into the evening.
Start with a glass and 10% off food (show your room key with two entrees), then transition into dinner. Handmade pasta, fresh seafood, veal piccata, chicken parmigiana — everything made from scratch by the same family that has been cooking on International Drive since 1991. There is no rush. You are not watching the clock because you do not have a drive home.
After dinner, walk 3 minutes back to your room. No designated driver needed. No Uber surge pricing. No fumbling for car keys. You had wine, you had pasta, and your hotel is across the street. That is what makes this the best after-work or after-conference option for anyone staying at the DoubleTree.
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 3 minutes back to your room. No designated driver needed.
