After three days of theme park food, this was exactly what we needed. Real food, real atmosphere, and free parking right outside. The caprese was the freshest I have ever had.

About Ciao Italia & Magical Dining
International Drive is the heart of Orlando's tourism corridor, and Magical Dining 2026 brings prix fixe menus to restaurants across the area. Ciao Italia Ristorante has been part of the I-Drive landscape since 1991, making it the longest-running family-owned Italian restaurant in the area.
Located at the intersection of International Drive and Westwood Boulevard, across from the DoubleTree by Hilton, Ciao Italia is easy to find and even easier to park at. Free self-parking right outside the front door, no valet needed.
The Navarra family serves authentic Italian food in a casual, welcoming atmosphere. Over 4,000 guests have left reviews. This is not a tourist trap. It is the real thing.
Many Magical Dining restaurants require navigating hotel lobbies, paying for parking, or dealing with dress codes. Ciao Italia keeps it simple. Drive up to the restaurant on I-Drive, park for free, and walk in wearing whatever you have on.
The $40 three-course menu includes dishes you would pay significantly more for on the regular menu. Braised spareribs, veal piccata, sacchetti with filet mignon, tiramisu, limoncello cake. All made in-house by the Navarra family.
Italian wine and beer list. Kids menu available. Open 5 to 10 PM, 7 days a week during Magical Dining.
Ciao Italia is near SeaWorld Orlando, Aquatica, Discovery Cove, the Orange County Convention Center, and Epic Universe. If you are staying on or near International Drive, you do not need to go far for an incredible Magical Dining experience.
After a day at the parks or a convention, a three-course Italian dinner at $40 per person is exactly the kind of reward you deserve. No reservations? Walk-ins are welcome. But reservations are recommended on weekends.
Book on OpenTable or call (407) 354-0770. Upscale vibes, casual comfort. Shorts welcome.
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.
