The dinner your family remembers. Handmade Italian since 1991. 5-10 min from your hotel.
Family-Owned Italian — Since 1991 — 6149 Westwood Blvd
The Dinner That Becomes the Memory
Orlando is full of attractions, shows, and experiences. But ask families what they remember most about their trip, and it is often a dinner — the one where everyone sat together, shared great food, laughed, and felt like they were somewhere special. That is what Ciao Italia has been providing since 1991.
A 5-10 minutes drive from the Hyatt Regency Orlando, Ciao Italia Ristorante is the family-owned Italian restaurant on International Drive and Westwood Blvd where the Navarra family greets every guest like they are coming home for dinner. The pasta is handmade. The sauces are made from scratch. The warmth is real. Over 4,000 reviews and 35 years in the same location tell the story.
Making Memories Over Italian Food
Start with something shared. The Bruschetta ($12) gets passed around the table. The Burrata ($18) with prosciutto di Parma and arugula disappears before the main course arrives. The kids are already digging into their $13 pasta and gelato meal.
For the main course, someone orders the Tortellini Brasato e Tartufo — braised beef and truffle cream in handmade tortellini. Someone else gets the Risotto alla Pescatora — clams, mussels, shrimp, and calamari over arborio rice. The kids are too busy eating to complain. The wine is poured. The conversation flows. This is the dinner.
No dress code. No pretension. Upscale vibes, casual comfort. The kind of restaurant where shorts and flip-flops are welcome and the food makes you feel like you are in Italy.
