Family Dinner Near International Drive Orlando
End your I-Drive day with a homemade Italian dinner the whole family will remember.
The Family Dinner You Actually Want
After a full day on International Drive — theme parks, outlet shopping, walking in the Florida heat — your family deserves a real dinner. Not a 45-minute wait at a chain where the food arrives lukewarm. Not a fast-food drive-through eaten in the hotel room. A real sit-down dinner with handmade pasta, warm bread, and gelato for the kids.
Ciao Italia Ristorante is 2 minutes from International Drive. The Navarra family has been serving family dinners here since 1991. The dining room is casual and comfortable. Highchairs are available. The kids menu is $13 with gelato included. And there is free parking right in front — no circling a garage, no paying meters.
What Family Dinner at Ciao Italia Looks Like
You walk in, you are seated, and the bread comes out warm. The kids pick from seven options on the kids menu — spaghetti, ravioli, chicken fingers, Alfredo, whatever they love. Parents order from the full menu: handmade sacchetti, chicken marsala, fresh seafood, lasagna. Everything is cooked from scratch.
The pace is relaxed. Nobody rushes you. The kids finish with gelato. The adults can finish with tiramisu and an espresso if they want. You leave full, happy, and 2 minutes from your hotel. That is a family dinner on International Drive done right.
