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.
