Yes, We Are Open. Every Night.

You are standing on International Drive at 7:30 PM on a Tuesday, trying to figure out where to eat. Half the places have a 45-minute wait. A couple of them are already closed. The hotel concierge recommended somewhere that turned out to be a 30-minute drive. Sound familiar?

Ciao Italia Ristorante is open 7 days a week, 5 PM to 10 PM, including holidays. No surprise closures. No seasonal hours. No "sorry, we are closed on Mondays." Just a family-owned Italian restaurant that has been open for dinner every single night since 1991. Walk in, sit down, eat. That is how it works.

Walk-Ins Are Always Welcome

You do not need a reservation. You do not need to plan three days in advance. If you are hungry and it is between 5 and 10 PM, you can walk into Ciao Italia and get a table. Reservations are recommended on busy nights like Fridays and Saturdays during peak season, but walk-ins are always accommodated. The Navarra family has been welcoming guests without reservations for over 35 years.

That flexibility matters when you are on vacation and your plans keep changing. Maybe the park ran late. Maybe the kids had a meltdown and dinner got pushed back an hour. Maybe you just drove past and thought "that looks good." However you end up at the door, you are welcome.

3 minutes from SeaWorld, I-Drive, and the Convention Center

Ciao Italia is located at 6149 Westwood Blvd, Orlando, FL 32821. That puts it just a few 3 minutes from SeaWorld, Aquatica, International Drive, and the Orange County Convention Center. Whether you are coming from the parks, your hotel, or a conference, you are never far from a table at Ciao Italia.

Free self-parking is available for all guests. No valet, no paid lots, no circling the block. Pull in, walk in, eat well. That alone sets it apart from most restaurants in the tourist areas, where parking can cost as much as an appetizer.

What You Will Find When You Walk In

Ciao Italia is not a flashy tourist restaurant. It is a warm, comfortable dining room where the same family has been cooking Italian food for over three decades. The menu features handmade pasta, fresh seafood, veal, chicken, and classic Italian preparations that have not changed because they did not need to. The bread is warm. The portions are generous. The service is attentive without being pushy.

For families, there is a $13 kids menu with an entree and gelato. For couples, the candlelit atmosphere makes for a great date night. For groups, they can accommodate private dining for up to 60 guests. Whatever your situation is at the moment you realize you are hungry, Ciao Italia can handle it.
