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
New Year's Eve
International Drive becomes an exciting destination on New Year’s Eve, attracting visitors preparing for celebrations across Orlando. For those who prefer a comfortable dinner before the evening continues, Ciao Italia Ristorante offers an independent Italian dining experience away from the largest entertainment crowds. The restaurant is open during its regular hours, making it easy to plan a familiar meal without an elaborate schedule.
The menu includes handmade pasta, seafood, traditional Italian entrees, and desserts that suit couples and families. The Navarra family’s hospitality tradition, established in 1991, gives the restaurant a local character that differs from larger entertainment establishments. Guests can enjoy wine or beer with dinner, and casual clothing is welcome. There is no need to dress formally for the occasion.
Ciao Italia is at 6149 Westwood Boulevard, directly across from the DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando Theme Park Resort. Complimentary parking is provided, and New Year’s Eve dinner is served from 5 to 10. Reserve through OpenTable or call (407) 354-0770 to arrange an Italian dinner conveniently located along International Drive.
