Family-Owned Italian — Since 1991 — 6149 Westwood Blvd
From Hotel Guest to Regular
The first time, you are just hungry. You are staying at the Rosen Centre Hotel Orlando, near the Orange County Convention Center, and you need dinner after a long day. Someone mentions Ciao Italia — a 5-10 minutes drive from the Rosen Centre, on International Drive and Westwood Blvd. You figure you will try it.
Then you taste the Tortellini Brasato e Tartufo. Braised beef and truffle cream sauce in handmade tortellini. Or the Linguine alle Vongole — fresh clams in white wine garlic sauce. Or the Calamari Saltati, sautéed in white wine lemon butter instead of battered and fried. This is not convention food. This is not hotel food. This is the Navarra family cooking for you the way they have been cooking for Orlando since 1991.
By your second trip to Orlando, you do not ask the front desk for recommendations anymore. You call (407) 354-0770 from the airport and make your reservation for the week.
Why Rosen Centre Guests Become Regulars
Consistency. The food tastes the same every time — which is to say, excellent. The Navarra family is still in the kitchen. Still greeting guests. Still making everything from scratch. The menu evolves, but the standards never drop. That is what 35 years and 4,000+ reviews look like.
The prices stay honest too. You can eat a full Italian dinner here for what the hotel charges for a Caesar salad and a glass of wine. Pasta starts at $19. Chicken Parmigiana is $24. Even the Agnello (Australian lamb chops) at $44 is a fraction of what comparable restaurants charge.
Free parking. No dress code. Walk-ins welcome. Wine and beer available. This is a restaurant that makes it easy to keep coming back.
