Family-owned Italian on International Drive since 1991. Handmade pasta, fresh seafood, and 35 years of tradition.
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, 0.9 miles from the Orange County Convention Center.

Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining is a seasonal opportunity to explore participating restaurants through special prix fixe menus. Ciao Italia Ristorante took part in the 2026 program, offering a $40 three-course Italian dinner from August 14 through September 30. Those dates have passed, so guests searching for Magical Dining near them should not assume the event menu is currently being served.
The 2026 experience introduced diners to selected Ciao Italia dishes in a structured three-course format. Outside the program, the restaurant continues serving its regular Italian dinner menu, including scratch-made pasta, veal piccata and fresh seafood. The Navarra family’s hospitality and relaxed dress policy remain part of the experience throughout the year.
Located at 6149 Westwood Boulevard on International Drive, Ciao Italia serves dinner every night from 5 to 10 with free parking. It is directly across from the DoubleTree by Hilton. Check the official event information for future participation and dates, or book an ordinary dinner through OpenTable now.
