Family Restaurant with Pasta Near International Drive
Handmade pasta daily. Spaghetti, Alfredo, ravioli, sacchetti, lasagna — the whole family eats well.
Handmade Pasta for the Whole Family
Pasta is the one food every member of the family can agree on. At Ciao Italia, it is made by hand every single day. Not dried pasta from a box. Not shipped in from a distributor. The kitchen team rolls, cuts, and shapes the pasta fresh daily — sacchetti, fettuccine, ravioli, pappardelle. It is the foundation of every meal here, and it has been since 1991.
For kids, the pasta options are simple and perfect: Spaghetti Marinara, Spaghetti and Meatball, Penne alla Vodka, Cheese Ravioli, and Fettuccine Alfredo. All $13 with gelato. For adults, the menu goes deeper — Linguine alle Vongole, Tortellini con Brasato, Sacchetti di Filetto, Pappardelle al Cinghiale. Same kitchen, same fresh ingredients, just more sophisticated preparations.
Not Just Pasta — But Pasta Done Right
Any chain on International Drive can boil spaghetti. Ciao Italia makes pasta the way Italian families have made it for generations. The difference is in every bite. The fettuccine has texture. The ravioli is filled by hand. The sauces are made from scratch — Bolognese that has been simmering for hours, Alfredo made with real cream and Parmigiano-Reggiano.
This is the family pasta dinner your I-Drive vacation deserves. 2 minutes from the strip, free parking, open every night.
