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.

Rosen Centre
You are scrolling through restaurant lists, reading reviews, comparing menus. There are dozens of places to eat near the Rosen Centre Hotel Orlando, but most of them are chains that serve the same food they serve in 400 other locations. You do not need a list. You need one recommendation that you can trust.
Ciao Italia looks elegant — arched columns, Italian pottery, wine racks. But there's no dress code. Shorts and flip-flops are welcome. Kids are welcome.
Zagat-rated Italian. Handmade pastas, fresh seafood, veal, lamb, and classic preparations.
