Good Food Near Me in Orlando
Not just any food. Good food. Handmade Italian from a family that has been here 35 years.
Good for Everyone at the Table
Good food does not have to mean stuffy or expensive. Our dining room is warm and welcoming. Families with kids come in all the time. Our $13 kids menu includes an entree, a drink, and gelato, which means the little ones eat well and the parents do not have to worry about the bill. Couples come for date night. Groups come for celebrations. Everyone is welcome and everyone eats well.
We also have private dining for up to 60 guests and full restaurant buyouts for up to 110. If you are planning something bigger, our catering menus start at $60 per person with options at $70 and $80 as well. Call (407) 354-0770 and we will help you put it together.
Convenient and Comfortable
Ciao Italia is on International Drive at 6149 Westwood Blvd, right between SeaWorld and International Drive. Free self-parking is on site. No valet fees, no parking garages, no walking six blocks in the Florida heat. We are open 7 days a week from 5 PM to 10 PM, and walk-ins are welcome every night.
If you would rather eat at your hotel, we are available on Uber Eats and DoorDash. But honestly, the experience of sitting down in our dining room, being taken care of by our staff, and watching your food come out fresh from the kitchen -- that is what makes it special. That is what makes it good food, not just food.
