Nice Enough to Celebrate, Casual Enough for Kids
Sometimes you want a nicer dinner on vacation — a restaurant that feels special without being stuffy. Ciao Italia hits that balance perfectly. The dining room is beautiful, with warm lighting and an Italian atmosphere that makes dinner feel like an occasion. But the vibe is casual. Kids are welcome. Highchairs are available. The dress code is come as you are.
This is the restaurant for a family birthday dinner, a vacation night out, or just a Tuesday where you want something better than a chain. The food is handmade and the service is personal — the Navarra family has been creating these moments for over 35 years.
A Dinner Everyone Will Remember
Start with bruschetta or the antipasto board. Kids order spaghetti, ravioli, or chicken fingers from the $13 kids menu. Parents order handmade sacchetti with truffle cream, fresh linguine with clams, chicken marsala, or the risotto. Share a bottle of Italian wine. Finish with tiramisu and espresso while the kids enjoy their gelato.
This is not a “nice restaurant that tolerates children.” It is a nice restaurant that was built by a family, for families. 4,000+ reviews. 9 awards. Open every night near International Drive.
