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
With dozens of restaurants participating in Visit Orlando's Magical Dining 2026, it can be hard to know where to go. Ciao Italia Ristorante has been on International Drive since 1991, making it Orlando's longest-running family-owned Italian restaurant. Over 35 years and 4,000+ guest reviews speak for themselves.
While many Magical Dining restaurants are tucked inside hotels or hard to reach, Ciao Italia has free self-parking right outside the front door. No valet fees, no parking garages, no rideshare wait. Drive up, walk in, and sit down for a $40 three-course Italian dinner.
The Navarra family runs the kitchen and the floor. This is not a corporate restaurant. Every dish on the Magical Dining menu is made in-house, from the braised spareribs to the tiramisu.
The Magical Dining menu at Ciao Italia is not a watered-down version of the regular menu. These are signature dishes: Brasato with red wine reduction and sundried tomato polenta, Vitello Piccata with artichokes and lemon butter sauce, and Sacchetti al Filetto with truffle cream and filet mignon.
Desserts include classic Tiramisu, Limoncello Mascarpone Cake made with the restaurant's own limoncello, and Chocolate Torta. Three courses, $40 per person. Optional upgrades available if you want to add crab, shrimp, or anchovies.
Pair your meal with selections from the Italian wine and beer list. Open nightly from 5 to 10 PM, seven days a week throughout the event.
Ciao Italia sits on International Drive at Westwood Boulevard, across from the DoubleTree by Hilton. It is near SeaWorld, Aquatica, Discovery Cove, the Orange County Convention Center, and Epic Universe.
Whether you are a local looking for Magical Dining deals or a visitor exploring Orlando's restaurant scene, Ciao Italia delivers authentic Italian food without the pretension. Upscale vibes, casual comfort. No dress code. Shorts and park attire welcome.
Reservations are recommended during Magical Dining, especially on weekends. Book on OpenTable or call (407) 354-0770. Walk-ins are also welcome.
We do Magical Dining every year and Ciao Italia is always our pick. The prix fixe menu is incredible value for the quality. Authentic Italian since 1991.
