Pasta Restaurant for Families Near International Drive
Handmade pasta for adults. $13 pasta for kids with gelato. 2 min from I-Drive.
Handmade Pasta 2 Minutes from I-Drive
The pasta at the chains on International Drive comes from a box. The pasta at Ciao Italia comes from the kitchen — made by hand, every day, since 1991. That difference is obvious from the first bite. The fettuccine has real texture. The sacchetti are folded individually. The ravioli is filled fresh. This is pasta the way Italian families make it.
For families, it means everyone at the table is eating something real. Kids choose from five pasta options on the $13 kids menu. Adults explore 13 handmade pasta dishes. The gelato is included for the kids. The tiramisu is waiting for the parents. And the drive back to your I-Drive hotel is 2 minutes.
Beyond Pasta — A Full Italian Dinner
Pasta is the star, but Ciao Italia has more. Start with bruschetta, garlic bread, or the charcuterie board. Main courses include chicken marsala, chicken parmigiana, veal piccata, fresh salmon, lamb chops, and seafood risotto. Finish with gelato, tiramisu, or cannoli.
