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.

New Year's Eve
New Year’s Eve dinner in Orlando does not have to mean crowded parties, complicated reservations, or a formal evening with an unfamiliar menu. Ciao Italia Ristorante is open for regular dinner service, welcoming guests who simply want to enjoy authentic Italian food before welcoming the new year. The restaurant offers a comfortable alternative to busier entertainment venues while keeping the evening special.
Choose from the regular dinner menu, including scratch-made pasta, fresh seafood, veal piccata, and Australian rack of lamb. The Navarra family has owned Ciao Italia since 1991, creating a setting where hospitality and Italian traditions remain central. Couples can enjoy a quiet meal, and families have the convenience of a $13 kids menu with gelato. Wine and beer are available.
Ciao Italia is located at 6149 Westwood Boulevard near International Drive, with free parking and no dress code. New Year’s Eve dinner hours are 5 to 10 in the evening. Reservations through OpenTable are available, and walk-ins are welcome. Enjoy a relaxed Italian dinner before continuing with your evening plans.
