Why Settle for Chains When Ciao Italia Is Steps Away?
The International Drive corridor is lined with chain restaurants that all serve the same reheated food at tourist prices. You can eat at any of them and forget the meal before you get back to the hotel. Or you can walk 3 minutes to Ciao Italia Ristorante and have a dinner you will actually remember.
At 6149 Westwood Blvd on International Drive, Ciao Italia has been family-owned by the Navarras since 1991. Everything is made from scratch — the pasta, the sauces, the bread, the desserts. The menu covers traditional Southern Italian from antipasti through secondi, with 13 pasta dishes, 8 main courses, and a $13 kids menu with gelato. Over 4,000 reviews and 9 culinary awards confirm what hotel guests have known for decades: this is the best dinner near your hotel.
