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.

Near You
Searching for food open near you in Orlando? Ciao Italia Ristorante serves dinner seven nights a week, from 5 to 10 each evening. If you are looking during those hours, this family-owned Italian restaurant is an option to check for a table. Outside that window, plan a visit for the next dinner service instead of assuming the kitchen is open.
Ciao Italia serves scratch-made pasta, fresh seafood and Italian specialties such as veal piccata. It offers a full sit-down dinner rather than a late-night takeaway counter, with wine and beer available. The mood is welcoming and relaxed, even if you arrive in casual clothes after a day outdoors.
For the quickest route, search for 6149 Westwood Boulevard on International Drive, directly across from the DoubleTree by Hilton. Free parking makes arrival easier, and walk-ins are welcome subject to available seating. If you would like to check ahead, use OpenTable or call (407) 354-0770 before leaving for dinner.
Handmade pasta • Fresh seafood • Prime cuts • Every plate tells a story
