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.
Handmade pasta • Fresh seafood • Prime cuts • Every plate from scratch

Feeding a family at Disney Springs can easily cost $200 for a mediocre meal. The kids menu items are overpriced, the portions are calibrated for profit margins, and the atmosphere is designed to keep tables turning. If your family has been at Walt Disney World all day and wants a real dinner together, consider driving 20 minutes to an Italian restaurant that has been feeding families since 1991.
Ciao Italia Ristorante on Westwood Blvd has a kids menu for $13 per child, ages 10 and under, that includes an entree and gelato for dessert. The kids can choose spaghetti marinara, spaghetti and meatball, penne alla vodka, cheese ravioli, steak bites, fettuccine alfredo, or chicken tenders. Every option comes with a scoop of gelato. That is a complete meal for less than most Disney appetizers.
Ciao Italia looks elegant — arched columns, Italian pottery, wine racks. But there's no dress code. Shorts and flip-flops are welcome. Kids are welcome.
$13 kids menu with gelato included. Highchairs available. Walk-ins welcome every night from 5 to 10 PM. Free parking lot right in front.
