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.

Every dish made from scratch • No shortcuts since 1991
Rosen Centre
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.
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.
Zagat-rated Italian. Handmade pastas, fresh seafood, veal, lamb, and classic preparations.
