We came here after a long day at SeaWorld with the kids still in their swimsuits. Nobody cared. The veal piccata was unbelievable and the parking lot was right there. Best Italian we had all week.

About Ciao Italia & Magical Dining
Visit Orlando's Magical Dining, presented by Orlando Health, is one of the most anticipated dining events of the year. Every fall, participating restaurants across Orlando offer three-course prix fixe menus at a set price, giving guests a chance to experience some of the city's best kitchens at an incredible value.
For 2026, Magical Dining runs from August 14 through September 30. Ciao Italia Ristorante is proud to participate with a curated $40 three-course menu featuring braised spareribs, veal piccata, sacchetti pasta with filet mignon, tiramisu, limoncello cake, and more.
It is six weeks of world-class dining across Orlando, and Ciao Italia is one of the best ways to experience it on International Drive.
Ciao Italia is not a chain. It is a family-owned Italian restaurant by the Navarra family, on International Drive since 1991, with over 35 years of hospitality experience and 4,000+ guest reviews. Orlando's longest-running family-owned Italian restaurant.
The Magical Dining menu at Ciao Italia features dishes that guests already love: braised spareribs in red wine reduction, veal piccata with artichokes and capers, truffle cream sacchetti pasta with filet mignon, and homemade desserts including tiramisu and limoncello mascarpone cake.
Upscale vibes, casual comfort. No dress code. Shorts welcome. Free parking. Italian wine and beer list. Open 7 nights a week.
This place has been here since 1991 and you can tell why. Not a tourist trap, not a chain. Real Italian food made by a family that cares. The braised short rib was fall-off-the-bone perfect.
