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.
Read Our Full Story
Every dish made from scratch • No shortcuts since 1991
Tourist restaurants come and go on International Drive. New concepts open, rebrand, and close within a few years. Ciao Italia Ristorante has been at 6149 Westwood Blvd since 1991 — and the reason is simple: locals keep coming back.
The Navarra family does not chase trends or tourist gimmicks. They cook the same Southern Italian recipes they have always cooked, using the same scratch-made methods, with the same warm hospitality. That consistency is why the 4,000+ reviews keep accumulating and why guests staying at Hotel Landy Orlando discover it and return on their next trip.
First-time visitors sometimes default to the chain restaurants near their hotel. Second-time visitors know better. After one dinner at Ciao Italia — after tasting the Fettuccine Alfredo made from scratch, the Lasagna layered fresh daily, the Brasato braised in red wine with sundried tomato polenta — they skip the chains for good.
The price point is $$. The atmosphere is casual with upscale vibes — no dress code, shorts welcome. The wine list is Italian and the beer selection is curated. Kids eat for $13 with gelato. This is not a special-occasion-only restaurant. It is an every-night restaurant that happens to be exceptional.
Handmade pasta • Fresh seafood • Prime cuts • Every plate tells a story
