The Navarra Family

Authentic Italian in Orlando Since 1991

When the Navarra family opened Ciao Italia on International Drive in 1991, Orlando looked nothing like it does today. But the mission was simple: serve real Italian food, made from scratch, every single night.

35 years later, that mission hasn't changed. The pasta is still handmade. The sauces still simmer for hours. Over 4,000 guests have left reviews. Zagat rated, highly awarded, and the same family still greeting you at the door.

This is not a chain. This is the real thing.

What a Full Restaurant Buyout Actually Means

A restaurant buyout is not the same as reserving a private room or pushing a few tables together. When you book a buyout at Ciao Italia, the entire restaurant is closed to the public for your event. Every table, every seat, and the full attention of the kitchen and service team belong to you and your guests. There are no strangers at the next table. No split attention from the staff. The evening is entirely yours.

For groups of up to 110, a buyout at Ciao Italia gives you the main dining room and the private dining area together as one cohesive space. You choose the menu, the wine and beer selections, the seating arrangement, and the pace of the evening. Whether your event is a wedding reception, a corporate dinner, a milestone birthday, or a family reunion, the Navarra family and their team handle the details so you can focus on your guests.
