Our Story
When Josie and Antonio Navarra opened Ciao Italia in 1991, they brought their Southern Italian family recipes and a simple philosophy: make great food from scratch, treat guests like family, and never take shortcuts.
More than 35 years later, we are still here — locally owned, scratch-made, and proudly independent. No chains. No shortcuts. Just real Italian food on International Drive, 0.9 miles from the Orange County Convention Center.

Family Dining
Bringing a large group together for dinner requires a restaurant that understands both food and event organization. Ciao Italia Ristorante offers Orlando families, celebration groups and visiting organizations a variety of dining arrangements for parties of 10 to 110 guests. Family-style Italian menus help larger groups enjoy a coordinated meal without each attendee navigating an individual ordering process.
For gatherings of at least 10 people, family-style menus begin at $50 per person. Groups needing a dedicated setting can consider the semi-private dining room for up to 60 guests. Larger celebrations can explore a full restaurant buyout accommodating up to 110. Plated menus beginning at $60 per person provide an alternative for hosts who prefer individually served courses.
Located at 6149 Westwood Boulevard near International Drive, Ciao Italia offers complimentary parking and a family-owned history dating to 1991. Its combination of traditional Italian food and flexible group arrangements makes it a practical option for milestone events. Contact (407) 354-0770 to confirm availability, discuss your group and review suitable dining packages.

Full restaurant buyout accommodates up to 110 guests. Private dining room seats up to 60. Minimum 10 guests for family-style dining.
Private dining gives your group the private room (up to 60 guests) while other diners use the main dining room. A full restaurant buyout means your party has the entire restaurant — all 110 seats — exclusively for your event.
Every course is served in generous platters to the center of each table. Your group shares starters, salad, entrées, and dessert. Food comes out fast because nobody orders individually — perfect for large groups on a schedule.
Three set menus: Classica ($50/person), Rustica ($60/person), and Grande Tavola ($70/person). The entire group orders the same menu. Every course served family-style in shared platters.
For the smoothest experience, the entire group orders the same menu. For special circumstances, call (407) 354-0770 to discuss options.
No dress code. Ciao Italia is casual — shorts, team gear, business casual, dressed up — whatever your group needs. No judgment.
For groups of 10–20, at least 1 week ahead. For 20–60 guests (private room), at least 2 weeks. For full buyout (60–110), at least 3–4 weeks. Convention weeks and holidays book months in advance.
Yes. Free parking lot on-site at 6149 Westwood Blvd on International Drive. The lot can accommodate vans and charter buses for large groups.
