We were at a convention and needed somewhere close. Found Ciao Italia and it was the best decision of the trip. The sacchetti pasta with filet mignon is insane.

About Ciao Italia & Magical Dining
If you are attending a convention or trade show at the Orange County Convention Center, Ciao Italia Ristorante is approximately 5 minutes away on International Drive. That makes it one of the most convenient Magical Dining options for convention attendees.
The $40 three-course prix fixe features authentic Italian food that is a welcome change from convention center food courts and hotel restaurants. Braised spareribs, veal piccata, sacchetti pasta with filet mignon, and homemade desserts.
The Navarra family has been on International Drive since 1991. Over 35 years of experience serving guests who are in town for business, pleasure, or both.
Convention center hotels offer convenience but rarely offer the best food. Ciao Italia offers both. Just 5 minutes from the OCCC, with free self-parking and a family-run kitchen that makes everything from scratch.
The braised spareribs in red wine reduction and the sacchetti pasta with truffle cream and filet mignon are dishes you will remember long after the convention is over.
Casual atmosphere. No dress code. Come straight from the trade show floor in your badge and business casual. Or change into shorts. Either way, you are welcome.
Ciao Italia welcomes groups of all sizes. Whether you are taking clients to dinner or gathering with colleagues after a long day at the convention, the Magical Dining prix fixe makes ordering easy. Everyone gets three courses for $40.
Private dining is available for larger groups. Call (407) 354-0770 for details. Italian wine and beer list for the table.
Open 5 to 10 PM, seven nights a week. Book on OpenTable or call ahead. Walk-ins welcome.
No pretension, no attitude, just amazing food and warm service. The bruschetta was perfect and the brasato melted in my mouth. Cannot wait for Magical Dining.
