Our Story

The Navarra Family. Since 1991.

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, 0.9 miles from the Orange County Convention Center.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Ciao Italia handle a group of 20?

Absolutely. 20 is one of our most common group sizes. We seat 20 at connected tables in the main dining room or in our private dining room (seats up to 60). Family-style platters mean the kitchen serves 20 as efficiently as 10.

How much does dinner for 20 people cost?

Classica is $50/person ($1,000 for 20), Rustica is $60/person ($1,200 for 20), and Grande Tavola is $70/person ($1,400 for 20). Plus tax and gratuity.

Do we need a private room for 20?

Not required. 20 fits comfortably in the main dining room. But our private dining room (seats 60) is available if you want an enclosed space. Call (407) 354-0770 to discuss options.

How does ordering work for 20 people?

The whole group picks one menu tier (Classica, Rustica, or Grande Tavola). Every course comes out together on shared platters. No individual orders, no 45-minute wait for 20 different meals.

Is there a deposit required for 20 guests?

Deposit requirements vary by date and group size. Call (407) 354-0770 to confirm details when booking.

What is the dress code?

No dress code. Ciao Italia has upscale vibes with casual comfort. Come as you are — shorts, jeans, resort wear, whatever your group is wearing.

Does Ciao Italia serve cocktails or just wine?

Wine and beer only. We offer a curated Italian wine list and beer selection that pairs perfectly with every course.

Where is Ciao Italia located?

6149 Westwood Blvd on International Drive in Orlando, FL 32821. Free parking on-site. Near SeaWorld, Epic Universe, and the Orange County Convention Center.
