Food Near Me in Orlando
You are hungry, you are nearby, and you do not want chain food. Handmade Italian from a family that has been here for 35 years.
You Searched "Food Near Me" and You Are in the Right Place
We get it. You are in Orlando, maybe after a long day at SeaWorld or walking International Drive, and you just want real food. Not another chain. Not a place where everything comes out of a microwave. You want something that actually tastes like someone made it for you.
Ciao Italia Ristorante is right here on Westwood Boulevard, 3 minutes from SeaWorld, I-Drive, and the Orange County Convention Center. We have been feeding hungry people in this exact spot since 1991. The Navarra family opened the doors and never left.
Everything on our menu is made from scratch. The pasta is handmade. The sauces are made fresh daily. The chicken, the veal, the seafood, all cooked to order. This is the kind of food you were hoping to find when you picked up your phone.
Close to Everything, Far From Ordinary
Location matters when you are hungry. Ciao Italia sits right in the heart of Orlando's tourism corridor. Coming from SeaWorld? We are five 5 minutes away. Walking International Drive? A quick ride. At the Orange County Convention Center for a conference? We are the dinner spot the locals actually recommend.
But being nearby is not why people come back. They come back because the Fettuccine Alfredo is made with real butter and Parmigiano, not from a jar. Because the Pollo Marsala is tender and the Marsala sauce has actual depth. Because the Risotto alla Pescatora is loaded with fresh shrimp, clams, and mussels.
The $13 Kids Menu
Traveling with kids? Our kids menu is $13 and includes gelato. Real food for the little ones, not just chicken fingers from a freezer bag. Families are welcome here. We have been a family ourselves since day one.
