Authentic Italian Menu

Better Than Hotel Dining
Hotel restaurants charge hotel prices for food that was prepped hours ago. Ciao Italia charges neighborhood prices for food that was made by hand today. The Fettuccine Alfredo, the Chicken Parmigiana, the Risotto alla Pescatora — everything is cooked to order in a kitchen that has been perfecting these recipes for more than 35 years. 6149 Westwood Blvd. (407) 354-0770.

Family-Owned Italian Since 1991
The Navarra family opened Ciao Italia in 1991 on Westwood Boulevard, a quiet street just off International Drive. Thirty-five years later, the family is still in the kitchen, still making everything from scratch, still greeting guests at the door.
During volleyball season, the restaurant fills with families in tournament gear — and that is exactly the way the Navarras like it. Ciao Italia is casual, welcoming, and built for families. The $13 kids menu includes gelato. The parking is free. Walk-ins are welcome.
It is not a chain. It is not a theme restaurant. It is just genuinely good Italian food from a family that has been doing this for a very long time.
