Our Story
When Josie and Antonio Navarra opened Ciao Italia in 1991, they brought their Southern Italian family recipes and a simple philosophy: make great food from scratch, treat guests like family, and never take shortcuts.
More than 35 years later, we are still here — locally owned, scratch-made, and proudly independent. No chains. No shortcuts. Just real Italian food on International Drive.

Every dish made from scratch • No shortcuts since 1991
Hyatt Regency Orlando
No dress code. No pretension. Just good food and warm hospitality since 1991.
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.
Handmade pasta • Fresh seafood • Prime cuts • Every plate tells a story
