The Navarra Family

Authentic Italian in Orlando Since 1991

When the Navarra family opened Ciao Italia on International Drive in 1991, Orlando looked nothing like it does today. But the mission was simple: serve real Italian food, made from scratch, every single night.

35 years later, that mission hasn't changed. The pasta is still handmade. The sauces still simmer for hours. Over 4,000 guests have left reviews. Zagat rated, highly awarded, and the same family still greeting you at the door.

This is not a chain. This is the real thing.

Private Dining for Groups Near Restaurant Row

Finding private dining near Sand Lake Road is not as simple as it should be. Most Restaurant Row establishments are designed for high-volume turnover, not private events. When they do offer private space, it is usually a roped-off section of the main dining room with noise bleeding in from all sides. True private dining requires a separate room with its own atmosphere.

Ciao Italia has a dedicated private dining room that seats up to 60 guests. It is a separate space from the main restaurant, with its own service staff and customizable menu options. Whether you are hosting a birthday dinner, corporate gathering, rehearsal dinner, or family reunion, the room provides privacy and comfort that Restaurant Row chain restaurants simply cannot match.
