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.

Marriott's Cypress Harbour
Families who return to Marriott's Cypress Harbour often develop favorite routines, from mornings by the pool to afternoons around the villa. A dependable dinner tradition can be just as welcome. Ciao Italia gives returning Orlando visitors a familiar, independently owned Italian restaurant where they can share a meal without grocery shopping or a long drive.
Parents can choose pasta, seafood or a hearty meat entrée, while the $13 kids menu comes with gelato. That flexibility works especially well for multigenerational groups whose appetites rarely match. The room feels special enough for a vacation dinner but relaxed enough for children, and no formal attire is expected after a day of activities.
Located at 6149 Westwood Boulevard, Ciao Italia is only about 1.7 miles and five minutes from Cypress Harbour using the Westwood Boulevard corridor. The route avoids highway driving, and complimentary parking simplifies arrival. Dinner service runs nightly from 5 to 10 PM. Bring the family and see whether this becomes a repeat stop on future visits.
