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 Shingle Creek
Tourist restaurants come and go on International Drive. New concepts open, rebrand, and close within a few years. Ciao Italia Ristorante has been at 6149 Westwood Blvd since 1991 — and the reason is simple: locals keep coming back.
First-time visitors sometimes default to the chain restaurants near their hotel. Second-time visitors know better. After one dinner at Ciao Italia — after tasting the Fettuccine Alfredo made from scratch, the Lasagna layered fresh daily, the Brasato braised in red wine with sundried tomato polenta — they skip the chains for good.
Zagat-rated Italian. Handmade pastas, fresh seafood, veal, lamb, and classic preparations.
