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.

Every dish made from scratch • No shortcuts since 1991
When you search for food near Extended Stay America Orlando Westwood Blvd, you are really asking one question: where can I get a real meal without dealing with chain restaurant nonsense? The answer is Ciao Italia Ristorante — under a 5-minute walk — literally on Westwood Blvd at 6149 Westwood Blvd on International Drive.
Nothing here comes out of a freezer or a bag. The pasta is made fresh. The sauces cook all day. The bread is baked in-house. The Navarra family has been running this kitchen since 1991, and they have not cut a single corner in 35 years. That is why there are over 4,000 reviews and highly awarded on the wall.
If you only eat here once during your trip, start with the Calamari Saltati — sautéed in white wine lemon butter, not the greasy fried version you get everywhere else. Then go for the Pappardelle al Cinghiale with wild boar ragu and porcini mushrooms, or the Vodka con Salmone with fresh salmon in a creamy vodka sauce.
Families will appreciate the $13 kids menu: six options including Spaghetti Marinara — each with gelato for dessert. Adults can pair their meal with wine or beer from the Italian-focused list.
Handmade pasta • Fresh seafood • Prime cuts • Every plate tells a story
