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.
The whole wedding party is already at the DoubleTree. That is the beauty of hosting your rehearsal dinner at Ciao Italia — everyone is already across the street. No shuttle bus. No caravan of rental cars. No one getting lost on International Drive. Walk out the hotel lobby together, cross Westwood Blvd, and sit down in the semi-private dining room.
The semi-private room seats up to 60 — perfect for the rehearsal dinner. Need the entire restaurant? Full buyout accommodates 110. Custom Italian menus start at $60 per person: handmade pasta, fresh seafood, veal, chicken parmigiana, and housemade desserts. Wine and beer packages available. The space looks elegant — arched columns, Italian pottery — but the atmosphere is warm and relaxed. No dress code. Your guests can come as they are.
After the toasts, walk the whole party back to the hotel. Everyone had wine, everyone is full, and no one needs to figure out parking or a ride. Three minutes to the elevator. That is the kind of rehearsal dinner people remember — real Italian food, real atmosphere, and zero logistics to stress about the night before the wedding.
Handmade pasta • Fresh seafood • Prime cuts • Every plate from scratch
