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.
Read Our Full Story
Every dish made from scratch • No shortcuts since 1991
The food at Four Points by Sheraton Orlando International Drive serves a purpose: convenience. It is there when you are too tired to leave the building. But if you are willing to walk 4 minutes, you can eat food that is actually worth sitting down for.
Ciao Italia Ristorante is under a 5-minute walk on Westwood Blvd at 6149 Westwood Blvd on International Drive. The Navarra family makes everything from scratch — every pasta, every sauce, every dessert. The difference between hotel food and Ciao Italia food is the difference between eating to survive and eating to enjoy.
Start with the Burrata — imported burrata with prosciutto di Parma, arugula, and sundried tomato vinaigrette. The Calamari Saltati is sautéed (never fried) in white wine lemon butter sauce. For pasta, the Sacchetti di Filetto with truffle sage, parmigiano cream, and sliced filet is a standout. The Ravioli di Pesce — seafood ravioli in light tomato cream — is another.
For secondi, the Brasato — braised boneless short rib with red wine reduction and sundried tomato polenta — shows what happens when a kitchen takes its time. The Cernia alla Puttanesca features Gulf grouper with olives, capers, peppers, and tomato sauce. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is pre-made.
Handmade pasta • Fresh seafood • Prime cuts • Every plate tells a story
