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.

Every dish made from scratch • No shortcuts since 1991
Most hotel guests pick a different restaurant each night of their trip. Guests who find Ciao Italia come back two, three, four nights in a row. That is not an exaggeration — the reviews say it repeatedly. Once you taste the food, the chain restaurants along International Drive stop being an option.
Ciao Italia Ristorante is under a 5-minute walk — literally on Westwood Blvd from Extended Stay America Orlando Westwood Blvd, at 6149 Westwood Blvd on International Drive. The Navarra family has owned and operated it since 1991. Over 35 years, 4,000+ reviews, and highly awarded later, they are still cooking everything from scratch and still treating every guest like family.
Night one: Start with the Bruschetta and go into the Lasagna or Fettuccine Alfredo. Night two: Try the Calamari Saltati — sautéed in white wine lemon butter — followed by Pappardelle al Cinghiale with wild boar ragu. Night three: The Risotto alla Pescatora with clams, mussels, shrimp, and calamari. Night four: Splurge on the Agnello — Australian lamb chops with mashed potatoes and asparagus.
The kids menu is $13 with gelato included, so the children are happy every night too. And every night, you can bring your SeaWorld, Aquatica, or Discovery Cove ticket for 10% off eligible food.
Handmade pasta • Fresh seafood • Prime cuts • Every plate tells a story
