Authentic Italian in Orlando Since 1991

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.

Real Food Made From Scratch

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.

What to Eat First

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.
