Family-Owned Italian — Since 1991 — 6149 Westwood Blvd
You Only Need One Recommendation
You do not need a list of 20 restaurants. You need one recommendation you can trust. If you are staying at Rosen Shingle Creek and you want the best Italian dinner within 10 minutes, go to Ciao Italia Ristorante at 6149 Westwood Blvd on International Drive.
Family-owned by the Navarra family since 1991. Over 4,000 reviews. 9 culinary awards. Zagat rated. Scratch-made pasta, fresh seafood, Italian wine and beer. $$ pricing. Casual dress. Open every night 5 to 10 PM. This is the restaurant that convention attendees, golfers, and resort guests come back to every trip.
What Makes It the One
Consistency. The Navarra family has not sold, franchised, or cut corners in 35 years. The Fettuccine Alfredo tastes the same today as it did in 1995 — because the recipe has not changed and neither has the commitment to making it from scratch. The Calamari Saltati is still sautéed in white wine lemon butter. The Lasagna is still layered fresh every day.
The kids menu is $13 with gelato. The private dining room seats 60. Full venue buyout for 110. Group dining packages at $60, $70, or $80 per person. Whether you are feeding 2 people or 100, this is the place.
