Skip the Mall, Eat Real Italian

Pointe Orlando has restaurants, but they are mall restaurants with mall prices. If you want real Italian food by Pointe Orlando, drive 5 minutes south to Ciao Italia Ristorante at 6149 Westwood Blvd.

Family-owned since 1991. Handmade pasta. Fresh bread. Homemade sauces. Free parking lot right in front — no paying for a garage like at Pointe Orlando.

Walk-ins welcome every night from 5 to 10 PM. Casual, welcoming, and genuinely good.

Free Parking and Better Food

Two things Pointe Orlando restaurants cannot offer: free parking and 35 years of family recipes. Ciao Italia has both.

The restaurant serves families after the parks, convention groups, couples on date nights, and locals who know where the real food is on I-Drive. The atmosphere is relaxed, the portions are generous, and the prices are fair.

The private dining room seats up to 60 for group dinners, birthday parties, and corporate events.
