Italian Seafood Restaurant Orlando

Italian Seafood the Way It Should Be

Most seafood restaurants in Orlando serve the same fried platters and frozen fish. Ciao Italia is different. We are an authentic Italian restaurant that takes seafood seriously. Our clams are fresh. Our sauces are homemade. And our risotto alla pescatora is made to order with arborio rice, clams, mussels, shrimp, and calamari.

We have been serving Orlando since 1991. The owner is from Italy. The recipes are traditional. And the seafood dishes on our menu are the same ones you would find in coastal Italian trattorias — linguine alle vongole, zuppa di pesce, Gulf grouper alla puttanesca, pan-seared salmon with Tuscan herbs, and shrimp scampi in garlic butter.

Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, out with family, or just craving real Italian seafood, Ciao Italia is the place.

The dining room is warm and comfortable. Families with kids sit right next to couples on date night. You can come casual or dressed up for a special occasion. Everyone is welcome here.

We are located on Westwood Boulevard just off International Drive, near SeaWorld and the convention center. Parking is free, and most nights you can walk right in without a reservation.
